Fletcher-Terry Push Mate and Glazier's Point Driver Tool

Great addition to my tools used when making customized wooden frames and mounting art Comfortable and well-made. Sure beats a hammer and slotted screwdriver!

I ran into a problem with a picture frame I'd purchased when the metal tabs that hold the mats and backing in place succumbed to metal fatigue and broke off. Through Amazon I'd purchased a package of glazer points, but when I received them, I had no idea how I would get them into the frame. The problem was compounded with the fact the frame wasn't real wood, but a wood composite material that is significantly denser. That's when I went back to Amazon and found this tool. It arrived in good time and condition with a small container of glazer points, which I hadn't expected. The driver tool is solidly constructed and not flimsy at all. While there was a brief learning curve, the tool worked perfectly in pushing the points into the wood composite. It does take some hand strength, but far less than I'd anticipated. I highly recommend this tool to anyone in a similar situation, or who makes their own frames.

This tool does what it’s supposed to as far as inserting glazier points. Very easy to use. I bought to replace glass in antique China cabinets. The wood is very dry and harder to get the points inserted than if it was green wood, but this has nothing to do with the tool, just the old antique wood. Good value for a simple job, I would probably buy the electric tool if I was going to be doing this often because it would be easier and more convenient. But overall it does the job and is good quality product.

I was going to buy one of those fancy point staple guns, but they are pretty pricy if you are only doing 5 or so pictures. This worked fine and it was very easy to push the points in by hand. They hold the foam core in without issues and are easy to remove if there's an issue.

Fletcher tool was great, so easy to use I would recommend

I liked the glazing points that came.with this kit. They are sturdy and lay flat against the glass. They don't get misshapen when being pressed into the wood. The tool was just ok. Worked just fine, but was easier for me to use a small offset putty knife.

After buying thousands of products on Amazon, this one is probably one of the best items I’ve ever purchased. The item worked perfectly as described when repairing a picture frame. Most importantly the packaging was EASY to open and reuse to store away to next time. Why can’t other products use easy opening packaging like this? Very happy with product.

I wish I had known about this tool years ago. I buy all my frames at thrift stores and they often don't have backs, or the hardware holding the back into the frame is broken. I've always done terrible things with duct tape and household objects, trying to get backing to stay in place. This little tool is so easy to use and makes neat work of securing a backing into a frame. You just shove the points into the frame; nothing to it. You can also use it to pry the points out and replace things. I'm so glad I got this.
