    Why make this? Isn't there tools that can be improved or things that could be made to make our job easier?

    That would be something I'd use.

    Look for drk's patented knock off for $39.99 soon!!!

    Most frames I adjust these days need the lenses removed to properly heat the shoulders and bring in the inevitably splayed temples so I would never use it.

    Or is that what this does?

    I carefully heat the edges of the front in my bead pan (yes I'm that old) and pop out the lenses. I often hand bevel the point where the minus thickness prevents a true tightening at the shoulder.

    That said I can see where it might be worth the profit on one Eye Med order however (if they upgrade;).

    It would be worth it especially, if you use cheap coats and poorly trained staff.

    And finally...
    Alas I am at the point on some frames of sending the patient to the local ACE to get the o rings from the repair kit. Anyone have a source for these in bulk and the right sizes?
