Insider Info from Joshua

"This product was a 'no brainer' when plastics started to approach aluminum in strength. Aluminum drivers have to be machined whereas these are injection molded with a super strong grade of nylon. Same durability as aluminum handles and takes the same highest grade blades. Saves you money without any sacrifice in functionality."

Insider Info from Joshua

"We make a lot of products in our facility in Santa Fe and I’m not much for sitting in front of a computer screen. Often I am out building displays or Hot Boxes, using a lot of hand tools. Now that the Social Security Administration is sending me monthly checks, my hands aren’t able to grasp a straight shaft screwdriver like they used to. Ouch! So, I took our TruBlue driver and some modeling clay and gave it wings so I could hold it more comfortably and give it a good amount of torque. That worked so well I had to make several more for each member of the crew. Then I made them in colors for you and then, the US Government gave me a patent."

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.

Darn these small screws.

Are these screws getting smaller or do I need a stronger prescription? Aligning tiny nose pad and hinge screws, using your fingers, can be painful and frustrating. Then the balancing act begins as you reach for the driver to thread the screw into the hole. Too often the screw dislodges and drops into the great void of lost screws. The Screw Starter is tall and slender making it easy for you to insert the screw and start threading it into position. You won’t lose your screws or your marbles. 4 1/4” long.

Insider Info from Joshua

"I’m a big guy and I’ve got large fingers. Not large and gracefully slender but the chubby, stubby kind. Just watching me attempt to insert a nose pad screw into the nose pad box is a traumatic experience. I bought one of those short screw grabbers but using it still required me to place most of my hand inside the eyewear. The Screw Starter is our superior solution to a universally frustrating problem."

Hold on tight to those larger/longer screws!

Screws have come a long way from the simple 3 barrel or 5 barrel options. Today's larger and longer screws have to be held more securely to prevent wiggling while trying to get them started in the barrel.

We've designed the #2055XL to hold the longer self-aligning and self-tapping screws tightly by holding the screw's head and grasping farther down on the threads.

Easy to use: Squeeze to open. Insert Screw. Stop squeezing and let the tweezer do the work. 5" long.

Insider Info from Joshua

"I was at a lab inserting lenses into metal frames when I found that I am not as young as I used to be (surprise!). My arm was aching from having to keep it raised when using a screwdriver. To be able to lower my elbow, something on the driver would have to adjust to my angle. A day at a lathe and the Stealth was born."

Insider Info from Joshua

"The main motivation for Western to attend a trade show is to get to meet our customers and to hear about their dispensing challenges. For many years our clients would ask when was I going to design one wrench to handle any shape or size nut? I kept thinking about it but couldn’t come up with a truly universal design. Then, one day, I was exploring an artist’s supply store and noticed the tools for holding charcoal and lead. Using that as my inspiration, I designed the Universal Nut Grabber."
