Replacement Driver Blades
Screwdriver blades are really tricky to produce. Working on a small scale and having to find the correct balance between hardness and brittleness, is a challenge. Don’t underestimate the effort that goes into formulating steel that is neither too hard nor too soft. We searched the globe to satisfy our stringent requirements. Our blades are made in both the USA and Germany.

Having to replace the compression tubing on a rimless frame can be a huge chore if you don’t have the proper tools.

The cutting blade gap is adjustable so you set the proper cutting depth. Use the slot in the jaw to remove the cut tube from the post.

Insider Info from Joshua
"I was working on the Post Pushing Plier #5121F and having to repeatedly remove the plastic from the compression rimless posts. My fingernails lasted about five posts and then I went for the straight edge razor. Scared the heck out of me! All I wanted to do was to safely cut the tube down to the post and strip it off without bleeding or destroying my nails. This tool saves you from all that."

Insider Info from Joshua
"For years there were two ways to work with semi-rimless nylon cords. The tool with the hook that goes under the cord and hooks it or a piece of firm ribbon to slide under the cord then wrap around and yank. So we combined the best elements into a stiff thin metal wedge that slips under the cord. There is also a groove on the forward lip to grab the cord and pull it out of the groove. We’re not going to win any design awards but folks like it."

Insider Info from Joshua
"This isn’t the only RX Verifier on the market but it is the best. Here’s why. We moved the printing to the backside of the plate so it won’t wear off. By having you assemble the unit, you can position horizontal zero exactly how you like it. We significantly expanded the base plate to make it easier to hold eyewear in place when taking readings. Simple but proprietary tweaks so you get years and years of use."

Regular price
$38.95
Ready. Set. (Don’t) Crack.
“Drill through” rimless eyewear are scary to adjust. If you don’t solidly support the screw/fixture/nut assembly when adjusting the temple or bridge, the lens will crack. With this plier you can fearlessly adjust a screw and nut rimless. Our Delrin plastic jaw has a channel that holds the screw head. The opposing slotted metal jaw securely grips the retaining nut. With the mounting fixture held firmly, you can safely, but cautiously, make your adjustments.

Screw Finishing Tool #2087
#2087
Regular price
$20.95
Let’s twist again.
You clipped the excess off a screw and are left with a ragged end. In oldie days you’d reach for a riffler or spoon file. Too often the file would slip off the screw and drive itself into the frame or lens.
Now you don’t have to take that chance. A few twists of this tool’s cupped serrated cap will safely round off the ends of cut screws. The working end is made of hardened carbide steel permanently mounted in a carbon steel nickel plated handle.
Works on screws with a maximum diameter of 1.6mm. Also use to smooth the ends of cut temples.

Insider Info from Joshua
"Here’s a long story made short. There are fewer fine file manufacturers now than there were two decades ago. Big file companies bought out the smaller specialists. Consequently the cost of files has skyrocketed. We can’t change suppliers as there aren’t any. So what to do? Eliminate the need for a specific file altogether by designing something just as functional but less costly. Two benefits for you. One, it costs less than a riffler file and, two, you are much less likely to slip off the end of a cut screw and file away accidentally on the frame or lens. It’s a win-win."
