Size. Insert Screw. Tighten.

You need to mount a lens into the eyewire. Ideally when you’ve confirmed that the cut lens is the proper fit, you would simply screw closed the eyewire and be finished. More likely, you let go of the eyewire and the lens comes out. You preload the screw in a tweezer, reinsert the lens in the eyewire and hold the eyewire closed with your fingers. With your free hand, you pick up the tweezer and insert the screw into the barrel. Now, release the screw and pick up a screw driver, and attempt to get the screw threaded.  

Let us interest you in an easier way. Close the eyewire around the lens using this plier. Then, while still holding the plier, insert the screw into the top hollow anvil. Insert the screwdriver blade through the anvil and engage the screw slot. Tighten the screw. Remove driver. Remove plier. Done! 

Western’s parallel jaw design holds the eyewire closed more securely. This time saving plier reduces the possibility of damage to the frame by keeping the screwdriver tip from slipping off the screw head.

Insider Info from Joshua

"You don’t usually hear foul language in a dispensary or lab. The most common exception is when a screw is dropped. Couple that with the grimace that comes with trying to squeeze an eyewire closed for a long period of time while reaching for the screwdriver. Not fun. With my fat fingers it was almost impossible and definitely not comfortable. That’s why I designed this plier. Honestly, it will take getting used to but worth the effort."

Removing demo lenses from frames can be annoying and sometimes painful.

This plier isn’t subtle. Place the pointed jaw in the middle of the lens and squeeze. The lens will break and fall out of the eyewire. Great for removing display lenses from rimlon frames in a snap!

Insider Info from Joshua

"This plier grows out of numerous requests to be able to remove demo lenses without hurting your fingers or the frame. Originally demo lenses just popped out, sometimes when you didn’t want them to. Now, with more accurate production those suckers are in there. Here’s a tool to match the energy needed to dislodge the lens. I found the most expeditious method to be splitting the lens. Shield your eyes and hold the plier and eyewear away from yourself and others."

Stop Popouts.

You have a lens that keeps popping out of the eyewire due to a mismatch between the base curve of the lens bevel and the eyewire. Using your fingers to reshape the eyewire is almost a guarantee that it will crimp. Instead, use this plier to gently and firmly reshape the eyewire curve. It is also safe to use on slightly warmed plastic frames. Our exclusive screw-free Delrin plastic pad eliminates the hassle of replacing screw-on type pads and the possibility of the metal screw marring the frame.

A handy way to mate the curve of the eyewire to the curve of the lens bevel.

The “ECP” spans the eyewire to press the base curve into the top and bottom of the eyewire simultaneously. Place the eyewire between the matching 6 or 9 base curved blocks and screw snug. The “ECP” can also be used to narrow the bridge for a better fit and to reduce the frame DBL. 3" W x 7.5" H x 3.25" D.

Insider Info from Joshua

"Trade shows present the opportunity to introduce new tools as well as exhibiting old standards. The plier for changing the eyewire’s base curve is one of those standards. Often when selling this plier the client would comment about what is really needed is a plier that is going to bend the eyewire in the same area on both the top and the bottom. Well, any plier I designed to bridge the distance and be strong enough to withstand the pressure on the cantilevered parallel action jaws was impractically large. Instead, I developed a table top model. I would suggest mounting the “ECP” to your counter top for stability, gently heating your eyewire and holding it in position between the two matching base curved blocks as it cools."
