Daron worked for a surgical instrument company for six years.  During his tenure, he performed various tasks from meeting the manufacturers to quality control to meeting the end users.  Along with customizing products for specific customers, he has designed a few instruments now permanently being made.  Through customer feedback, he learned how instruments should look and perform under a microscope for the animal models used in research.

  After taking some time off in 2002, several former customers suggested starting a repair company so they could continue having instruments customized to fit their needs. Other repair companies rely on honing machines to sharpen instruments, but this ruins the original small tip of microscopic instruments.  Daron still uses files and stones to remove the least amount of metal to retain a "like new" look for a fraction of the cost of buying a replacement.
