For opticians and optical technicians fitting rimless frames, achieving secure compression without damaging the lens is critical. These specialist pliers deliver controlled force directly to the drill point, preventing the cracking often caused by standard tools. All our tools are stocked in the UK.
Key features
- Specialist jaws with non-marring inserts apply pressure without damaging delicate components.
- A strong box-joint construction ensures the jaws remain aligned under load.
- Designed to accurately compress frame material around lens drill points on rimless spectacles.
- Curved stainless steel handles feature a serrated edge on one side for improved grip.
- Also suitable for delicate assembly work in jewellery or model making.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK dispensing opticians and optical lab technicians who regularly assemble and adjust rimless eyewear. Also favoured by bench jewellers and scale model makers for tasks requiring controlled, localised pressure without marking the workpiece.
