Drill Mount / Rimless Toolkit

Is there such a thing as a drill mount / rimless frame toolkit?

Basically a tool for adjusting the small nut(s) that hold the
bridge/temples to the lenses.  Using small pliers to do the adjustment
seems to add the risk of scratching.

If there is such a toolkit, any idea where can I get one?

Many Thanks,
Rick

If you Google eyeglasses AND nutdriver, you will find what
you are looking for.

For instance, see eBay item #140001075690.

Be careful. I use(d) rimless readers (inexpensive) with screws and
nuts. I've busted a lot of lenses by tightening them too much.

You ("Quick") should seek professional help.

Some ODs are qualified to use screw/nut drivers.

Oh, my mistake, the OP asked if such a thing existed.
I assumed an OD would be aware of such things and
came to the conclusion that the OP wasn't a doc. That
led me to believe they were going to perform this operation
themselves and possibly hadn't done so before. Pretty
easy not to think about that until the plastic cracks.

Thanks for your advice but I'm already under the care
of a very competent OD.
