FAQs

What types of glasses can this kit fix?

This kit is suitable for most eyeglasses and sunglasses, including those with hinge issues, loose nose pads, or problems with temple arms, as long as they use small screws.

Does the kit include replacement nose pads?

No, this kit primarily provides screws, nuts, and the tool for repair. It does not include replacement nose pads.

How do I know which screw to use?

Examine the original screw or the hole where the screw was. The kit provides various small sizes; select the one that fits most snugly without forcing it.

Can this kit be used for phone repairs?

It can be used for very small screws found in some older or specific electronic devices, but modern smartphones often use specialized pentalobe or proprietary screws not included in this general kit.

Is the screwdriver magnetic?

The product description does not specify if the screwdriver tip is magnetic. However, it does feature reversible slot and cross heads.

How many screws are included in the kit?

The kit contains a selection of various high-quality stainless steel screws and nuts, ideal for multiple small repairs.

What are the dimensions of the plastic storage box?

The product description does not provide the exact dimensions of the plastic storage box, but it is described as a handy, durable box.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver tip is stuck or won't reverse

Gently pull the screwdriver tip outwards while rotating it to release the mechanism. Ensure no debris is obstructing the reversible action.

Lost a specific screw size

The kit includes a variety of sizes, but if a specific one is lost, check local hardware stores or electronics repair shops for replacements. Keep the original screw (if found) for comparison.

Parts are difficult to handle due to small size

Use tweezers (not included) if the included screwdriver is too large or the parts are too fiddly to grasp directly. Work on a well-lit, flat surface to prevent losing small components.

  • Screwdriver with reversible heads offers flexibility.
  • Durable, rust-resistant materials ensure longevity.
  • Organized storage case keeps all parts together.

Cons

  • Limited to very small screws and components.
  • May not be sufficient for complex or large repairs.
  • Screwdriver size may be too small for some users to grip comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The kit requires no initial setup. The screwdriver is ready to use immediately, and its reversible heads can be flipped by pulling out the tip and rotating it. Ensure the correct screw type and size are chosen for the repair.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for small-scale repairs on items like eyeglasses (including rimless styles), sunglasses, watches, and other small electronic devices that utilize miniature screws. It is not compatible with larger screws or hardware.

Care: To maintain the kit, store all components within the provided durable plastic box. Keep the box in a dry place to prevent any potential rust on the metal parts, though the stainless steel construction is highly resistant. Clean the screwdriver with a dry cloth if it becomes dusty. Periodically check that all screws and nuts are accounted for.
