A close up of the eyeglass screws with snap-off tab attached.Ever lose that tiny little screw from a pair of your favorite eyeglasses? Even if you can find the screw, then you can’t find a screwdriver that tiny. And even if you find the proper screwdriver, the next problem is getting that tiny screw in that tiny hole. Now there’s a great solution. Eyeego has introduced the Snap-It Screw Kit, an eyeglass repair kit that contains a new type of eyeglass screw designed to simplify repairs. The screw features a feeder tab that allows it to be handled with ease. The “feeder tab” is actually like a handle attached to the bottom of the screw. Just guide the tab into the hole in the eyeglass hinge, tighten the screw and snap off the feeder tab. (I fixed a pair of glasses I had in a couple of minutes.) And it comes with the proper sized screwdriver. The Snap-It Screw Kit can be ordered by calling (518) 487-1550, or at web site below. This kit was invented by a lady who broke her only pair of glasses while doing volunteer work in a third world nation. She was far from being able to find replacement screws, or a proper screwdriver. Determined to solve this problem for everyone, she invested most of her life’s savings, ($250,000) to develop the kit and bring it to market! (I've mention on the Daily Giz Wiz many times, getting a new product to market isn’t cheap!) You can see a video demo at their site. Each kit comes with 4 Snap-off screws, a screw driver and a convenient carrying tube. Cost is $4.98 plus S & H.
