Lens Plier

You need to check if a lens is going to fit the eyewire but you’re done sacrificing your finger tips trying to pinch the barrel closed. Instead of squeezing the eyewire and wrestling the eyewire screw into place, reach for the Eyewire Closing Plier, aka “sizing plier”. The pointed jaws fit securely into the eyewire barrel so you can comfortably draw the eyewire snug around the lens.

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!

There is no need to dread tweaking the axis of a lens. Stop worrying about cracking a thin lens or popping out its center. Gone are the days when the metal cup pad holder would scratch the lens. “How can this be?” you ask. We’ve redesigned this plier by equipping it with rubber pads that are preformed into a matching 20mm diameter, 4 base curve set. Now the pads cradle the lens rather than flatten. We placed the pads on disks eliminating the metal cups. All this and a deep throat to accommodate lenses 90mm in diameter.

Gone are the days when the metal cup pad holder would scratch the lens. “How can this be?” you ask. We’ve redesigned this plier by equipping it with rubber pads that are preformed into a matching 25mm diameter, 4 base curve set. Now the pads cradle the lens rather than flatten. We placed the pads on disks eliminating the metal cups. All this and a deep throat to accommodate lenses 90mm in diameter.

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!

RMH TOOLS jaw design holds the eye wire 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.
