If you've ever watched helplessly as the arm of your favourite Ray-Bans dangled uselessly from a single thread, you're not alone. Ray-Ban sunglasses are iconic, stylish, and unfortunately, just as prone to loose screws as any other eyewear.
The good news? You don't need to send them off for repair or pay through the nose at an optician. With the right tools, you can fix your Ray-Bans at home in about 60 seconds.
Why Ray-Ban Screws Come Loose
Ray-Ban frames, like most quality eyewear, use tiny hinge screws to connect the arms to the frame. These screws are typically 1.4mm in diameter, which is the most common size across the eyewear industry. Over time, the constant opening and closing of the arms causes these screws to gradually loosen.
Add in temperature changes, facial oils, and the occasional drop, and it's only a matter of time before you're dealing with a wobbly arm or a completely detached temple. The problem isn't unique to Ray-Ban. It happens to Oakley, Persol, Maui Jim, and virtually every other brand.
The Traditional Fix And Why It Fails
Most people try one of two approaches when their Ray-Bans start wobbling. They either ignore it until the arm falls off completely, or they attempt a repair with a generic glasses repair kit from the chemist.
The problem with traditional repair kits is that the screws are impossibly small. You need steady hands, excellent eyesight, and considerable patience to thread a 1.4mm screw into a tiny hinge barrel. More often than not, the screw ends up on the floor, lost forever in the carpet fibres. This is exactly why so many people give up and pay £30 to £50 for a professional repair that takes an optician about 30 seconds.
A Smarter Approach to Ray-Ban Repairs
The SnapItScrew Eyeglass Repair Kit (https://snapitscrew.com/) was designed specifically to solve the tiny screw problem. Instead of trying to handle microscopic screws with tweezers, SnapItScrew uses a patented design with an extended feeder tab. You simply push the screw through the hinge hole, tighten it with the included screwdriver, and snap off the excess tab.
No fumbling. No dropped screws. No frustration.
The kit includes five different screw sizes to fit virtually any frame, including all Ray-Ban models. Whether you're repairing classic Wayfarers, Aviators, or Clubmasters, the process is identical.
Step-by-Step Ray-Ban Repair Guide
Start by identifying which screw needs attention. Usually, it's the hinge screw connecting the arm to the front frame. If the screw is still in place but loose, simply tighten it with the SnapItScrew screwdriver. The double-ended design gives you both flathead and Phillips options.
If the screw is missing or stripped, select the appropriate size SnapItScrew. For most Ray-Bans, the medium 1.4mm size works perfectly. Insert the feeder tab through the hinge hole, twist to tighten, and snap off the excess. The entire process takes less than a minute.
Test the arm by opening and closing it several times. It should move smoothly with slight resistance. If it feels too loose, tighten a quarter turn more. If it's too stiff, back off slightly.
Preventing Future Problems With Your Ray-Bans
Once your Ray-Bans are repaired, a little preventive maintenance goes a long way. Check your hinge screws monthly by gently wiggling the arms. If there's any movement, give them a quick tighten before they have a chance to fall out.
Store your sunglasses in a hard case when not in use. Always use both hands when putting them on or taking them off. The one-handed cool move looks great in films but twists the frame and loosens screws faster.
Keep a SnapItScrew kit (https://snapitscrew.com/) in your bag or car. At £5.99 for the standard kit, it's a fraction of what you'd pay for a single professional repair, and you'll have it ready whenever you need it. For a touch of style, the Premium Eyeglass Repair Kit (https://snapitscrew.com/collections/new-range/products/premium-eyeglass-repair-kit) comes in six colours.
The Bottom Line
Your Ray-Bans are worth fixing properly. Don't let a loose screw send you to the optician for an expensive repair. With the SnapItScrew kit, you can handle any screw problem yourself in 60 seconds. You CAN fix this yourself.
