Small Screws?

21 years ago

I'll try this forum as there must be some use for small screws in "crafts and decorations".

Were can one find small screws such as are used to hold eye glasses together. Yes I know WalMart and others sell the small screw driver with a few screws in the handle, I'm looking for a source of screws, say 6 or 8 piece packages of various sizes in the range used in eye glasses.

If you can think of a better forum to ask, I'd be happy to make use of that information too.

Thanks

Jerry, you might try a hobby store or a miniature department in one.

Call a place where you buy eyeglasses...they must have an address of a supplier.

My daughter works at one and I know they replace them all the time. But I would imagine the supplier they have would be in Omaha

All thanks,

Patti, yes I know my eye doctor has all the frame screws needed to fix any pair of glasses I've owned, but when it comes to over-the-counter reading and sun glasses, I can't take them back to him.

As you say: " But I would imagine the supplier they have would be in Omaha" I'd guess all the supplies come from China, don't know what's in Omaha.

If you send me your address I will send you a bunch of small eyeglass screws left over from my business NO CHARGE.

I didn't mean to take them back to him for repair. I meant call them and ask them where you can get some of the screws.

The screws are on the way. If you can use them just put an extra dollar in the Salvation Army Kettle for me. Betty

Betty,

Thanks, indeed I'll put an extra dollar in the Salvation Army Kettle, a great charity. It's that time of the season that the Kettles will be easy to find.
