The screwdriver needs to be magnetic but past that I was able to easily use this to repair my glassesWe’re kind of hard to line up when putting them on, we’re very comfy, but could have lasted longerIt works as expected but when I read the description, it made it sounds as if there were three in the package. I still haven't figured that out.Price is right. Tried it on my glasses, not a eyeglass person so it didn’t for me. Wasn’t sure how to use the magnifier…small parts…Quality, quality, quality. The little screwdriver does not bend or twist when in use.The ad clearly say “3 pack” meaning you should get 3 little eyeglass screwdriver sets. Well, you will only get ONE. When you complain to Amazon which via the voice assistant is says your received your item over 30 days ago (when it was really yesterday) so you can not return it. Dig deeper to get a human on the phone or live chat and they will send you another ONE. Now you have two of the three you paid for. I am going into the Amazon complaint abyss again to try and get the third of the 3 pack. As far as the product goes you wouldn’t want to pay more that $1 EACH for these. It is a tiny, cheap screwdriver (flat tip only), a few extra screws and a totally useless magnifying glass. Useless because it has a hole drilled through the middle of it which is where you need to look on a convex lense to get magnification. The hassle of all this is definitely not worth the “possible” outcome of getting what you ordered in the first place. BUY ELSEWHERE!!!Edit; went back into the system to try and get the 3rd of the 3 pack and after a live chat I am told the “system” will no longer allow replacements and the only option is a full refund. The system has issues but I guess it kinda worked out for me. Again, not worth the hassle!!!!Flents Eyewear Eye Glasses Repair kit, with Magnifying Glass, 3-PackI was disappointed when this came and there was only quantity of 1, when the description said 3.It's basically a dollar store kit for $4. Including delivery, not a bad price for one.I've been using Flents nose pads for about 20 years, because I haven't been able to replace my large-lensed, heavy glasses. Without the Flents, my glasses slide way down and give me a headache. Sure, they look a little nerdy, even blending in fairly well with my plastic frames. Who cares? It's worth it for no headaches!As for having problems with them sticking, there's an easy solution, as long as your frames aren't too narrow for the pads. Before applying, clean the nose section of your frames with alcohol, or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, to remove any trace of skin oil. (Also after you've removed an old pair of pads, to remove any sticky residue. That can screw up the adhesion too.) Once the nose section is squeaky clean, apply the pads, making sure you don't touch the sticky side. Then press firmly over the entire pad surface to make sure they adhere tightly. Doing this, mine usually last for at least a month before losing their grip; sometimes longer. They only start sliding off about the time I'm going to replace them anyway because they've gotten dirty, or because it's summer, and they've absorbed a lot of sweat. Until I get new glasses, I don't ever want to be without these pads.Note: Suppliers of these change a lot. My purchase was from Amazon partner Preferred Mart. Excellent vendor; they even emailed to request feedback and to check if I was happy with the product.At £6.99 for five pairs these little bits of foam are very expensive and they don't last all that long. I have had no trouble with them falling off but I wear my glasses all the time so a pack of five pairs has lasted me only two months. I have three pairs of glasses and the pair I wear all the time is on its third pair of pads so each pair has lasted me around three weeks.The foam spreads over the weeks and comes away from the sticky back.Don't let them get too wet by washing glasses under the tap. That ruins them.That being said I can't do without these little things. They hold glasses to the face well, they make glasses softer on the nose, and I think I am allergic to the little silicon things they put on glasses as I get not just red patches but bleeding sores and with these foam protectors I don't get that.If I ever see them on offer I will snap up several packets. I can't believe we don't have something similar in the UK and have to get these from USA, hence why so expensive.These are ok, fit for purpose but I do end up changing them every 5-6 weeks as they do absorbe facial oil which stops my glasses slipping which is why I purchased them. They need cutting down a lot to get them to fit on the silicone nose holds on my glasses and this is fidderly to do. They start to slip when the oil builds up and this is when they need to be replaced. They are quite noticeable due to the colour but this is the lesser of two evils if it means my glasses don't slip down.Was fed up with sore red marks on nose from glasses. Brought these and what an improvement. No more red marks. Had first pair of pads on for a week now and still secure. Obviously with make up and sweat they will come off as not permanent but worth the money in my opinion. I usually give the pads a gentle wipe over when I clean my glasses. Would recommend and will buy more when I need to.With this really high price for these 10 small pieces, I expect it to be of good quality, however it doesn’t stick at all. I guess their margin on this product is near 1000% lolAt first they were good, then bad, then far too expensive and falling off and useless, glasses work fine without
