Good Lenses - Loose Screws

I've used many readers over the years and I particularly like the pince-nez style for its small size and the ability to carry it in a pocket or purse without adding too much bulk. to clothes and bags. I've used a $1 ReaderRescue, but they inevitably break after a few weeks, so it's not cheap in the long run. Decided to spend a little more hoping to get something that will last. Good points: I've had them for a few weeks now and carry them in my vest pocket and so far no visible scratches on them. Bad: Design The downside is that the metal turret is screwed (rather than riveted or otherwise attached) to the plastic lens barrel, so within a week a small screw popped out on one side and easily broke off when reinserting it. As good as the lens clarity is, the turret mount is the weakest link in what could be a significant design improvement. After even gorilla glue couldn't fix it, I drilled a hole and soldered 24 gauge wire to fix it. , so I should be fine with that as long as I regularly check the remaining 3 screws for tightness. However, people often give compliments. I would recommend pincers as a very handy and easy solution for reading labels and menus, but until they improve the design remember to check the frame bolts often and tighten them if necessary.
