What plier does everyone consider to be essential to adjusting/repairing glasses?
I nominate the NuMont plier!

I tend to adjust with my hands rather than pliers - but I do tend to use pad arm pliers for splay angle problems and long needle nose pliers to shape three piece mount pad arms.
the one closest to hand as I'm lazy and hate walking to find the proper one. Like Audiyoda I tend to do most adjustments by hand since its easier to feel the tension being applied. Also they are readily available!!

Days where my gratitude exceed my expectations are very good days!
5 LB SLEDGE AND A PAIR OF VISE GRIPSOH YAH, WEAR GLOVES
Ok now, seriously, If only one pair to use it'd be the medium snipe nosed pliers with one side flat and the other side round. Ok, and a small hammer!!

Wow, I must say, I virtually never use the numont.
I'd say half nylon pliers are my favs, and I use nosepad pliers all the time.
NOSE PAD Plier, followed by single padded with tapered cone

Ditto.:cheers:
I find that lately I am using more and more variations of three pronged plyiers. Great for bending and curving things.
one of the most handiest pliers is definetly the numont, as it can be use for so many other optical tasks, other then what it was designed for, in my tips on dispensing thread i think i once mentioned that for pulling out screws by the head, especially from nose pads the numont was great.
it is also a great plier for straightening out bent and rolled eyewires, there are a lot of other uses , but i dont have any more time tonight as i am now a grandpa of a 8 pound baby girl born this afternoon, got to run
T-Slot tweesers = best tool ever
Congrats! Grandpa! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
hey!!!! congrats!!! makes all this other stuff pale
Congratulations Harry. What kind of plyiers did the doctor use?
HAH! My son came into the world with the help of some forceps.
Foreceps.....................
Forceps Delivery
Description
Forceps delivery uses large forceps (i.e., a large, spoon-shaped instrument) that assists delivery by holding the baby's head and pulling the baby out of the birth canal.
In the past, people avoided cesarean sections because of scarring from past surgeries or side effects from anesthetics, and chose instead natural or vaginal (i.e., mechanical) delivery.
Medical conditions for cesarean delivery have improved, making them safer and scarring less.
Natural or mechanical birthing, however, is clearly on the rise, making forceps use more common.
Indications
Forceps delivery is used in the following conditions:
The mother cannot bear down due to exhaustion from a long labor or anesthetics.
Contractions become weak and the woman is unable to make the final push.
High blood pressure from toxemia (gestosis) or other illnesses that make bearing down undesirable.
Delivery is imminent and the baby is weak, or maternal bleeding necessitates a speedy delivery.
Usage
A forceps delivery can be used once the uterus has opened completely and the water has broke.
Normally, the baby comes out facing the mother's back, and this is the best position to use the forceps.
The doctor carefully places the forceps on both sides of the baby's head and pulls it out of the vagina with sufficient and steady force.
Simulating natural contractions, the baby is pulled at regular intervals to promote blood circulation in the uterus and the baby. The baby's heartbeat is constantly monitored throughout the procedure.
Complications
Forceps can leave small bruises on the baby's head and face that heal after a few days.
Only an experienced and skilled doctor should use this tool; otherwise, side effects such as nerve and brain damage may occur.
