Other great uses of equipment.

Frame warmer (glass beads) doubles as a frozen burrito warmer?- sure does.

I call it 'Salt-Pan Cuisine' and have been an expert in cooking my lunch in tinfoil protective covering in the frame warmer for many years. Heck, I even came up with some recipes specially modified for this form of cooking!

Great uses of other optical equipment include:

Blocking pads: them wondrous 'lil double sided adhesive circles have kept a shoe heel in place, and temporarily mended various clothing items from pant hems to, um, well, other female-specific clothing items. Just a couple days ago came across a jacket I haven't worn for a couple years and found a couple leap pads holding down a lapel prone to curling. Also used for tacking things to the wall, preventing a coffee cup from being picked up off the counter.

Ha! salt pan cuisine-i love it. good cup idea. I once got a leap pad and stuck a quarter to it, and stuck it to the floor in wal mart. It was great. It drew a crowd of people trying to get it.

Frame warmers are excellent for drying spills on your clothing. Optical screwdrivers push back cuticles excellently. Bent-nose pliers fix broken zippers and who can say enough about the unlimited uses for files...

Alcohol pads aren't just for lens markings and stab-wounds anymore. They're great for cleaning off the screen on your cell phones, too.

Oh - and our ultra sonic is great for jewelry as well as frames.

Lol.--Ha. I don't really push cuticles back, but that's a new one. But here- i got a good one for the optical community- Remember me when you think of this- Punctal plugs for blow-gun darts. He he. Or tint in a squirt gun usually fires people up pretty bad. That's a good way to start a fight.:shiner:

Leap pads have at least 1,000 uses! Heck, I have at least one of these little wonders on just about everything I own- including my wife's truck (stabilizes the speaker mounts).

They're also handy for hanging posters, propping up a short table leg, stopping your cell phone from sliding all over the dash, temporary cushion washer on a bolt...

when equipment looses those rubber legs on the bottom and they get wobly a couple leap pads stacked together does the trick.

We keep an old Kirk oven to warm pizza!
