Rimless Frame Compressing Pliers — 5.5 Inch Stainless Steel, Optical, Jewellery & Model Work

Rimless spectacle work concentrates risk at the drill point: too much force, or force in the wrong place, and the lens cracks. These compressing pliers put controlled pressure exactly where the frame material meets the lens drill point, with non-marring jaw inserts protecting the surrounding surfaces as the fitting seats.

Box-joint construction keeps the jaws aligned under load, and the curved stainless steel handles carry a serrated edge on one side for grip. Though built for dispensing and lab work, the same controlled, localised pressure earns them a place in jewellery assembly and model making.

• 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.
