Really Good Quality

Well built solid quality magnifying glass! Doesn’t come with batteries, requires 3x AAA. The white LED illumination is good. The mini 90X loupe is also a nice addition and handy. If you are looking for one on eBay this is the one you want! Read full review

Magnification Error?

The magnifier is very good value, and just what I need, but the magnification of the higher power lens is approximately 4 times. I previously bought a different make which claimed to be 30 times magnification, but was more like 3 times, so had a good idea what to expect. I checked the magnification by printing out the word TEST at 12 Points, repeating it at 48 points just over one inch away. I was able to view the smaller through the higher power lens, and see the larger print
unmagnified at the same time. They looked about the same size. That is how I conclude the magnification is about 4. A magnification of 45 needs a microscope. Sorry prove me wrong
if you can. I also have an old German magnifier with a composite lens it is labelled 10x
The image is over twice as big as this one.

Good quality magnifier

Good quality twin lens (glass) magnifier,
White LED source, needs three x AAA to power (not supplied)
Very effective light.

The small high powered lens has a fairly short focal length so you need to get close to the object and that's where the LEDs come in useful.

The only thing I don't like, is that thje LED light is switched. there is a big thumb operated button on the handle, and it locks on so it is possible to put the magnifier down with the LEDs still on. I can't see any need for the switch action to be locking, a press to turn on and release for off would be better.

Great Item, good value for money

I bought the magnifier to help with reading small print on documents I'm researching for my family tree. It works really well, particularly when trying to decipher handwriting from 1800's / early 1900's. Well worth the money Read full review

Hand-held magnifier with light.

Well designed for hand use even in tight corners; light spread is good and optics clear. Importantly this unit has strong plastic mouldings which will last and take a bit of a knock without cracking up. The battery compartment lid is robust and secures well. The rather small 40x lens was something that I thought would be of no use but in one or two instances I have used it and have been surprised by the clarity! ( You do need a steady hand though)
I bought this for use when I am machining metal in my workshop and it is ideal; being able to switch the light on and off with the button (rather than having to hold the button down to keep the light on) has been a great positive. Brilliant value for money.

Great magnification and light feature

Bought for my mum who has cataracts and has difficulty reading small print. This is perfect for her with the x 45 magnification. It is lightweight and has a helpful light with it. She can carry it in her bag for when needed.Read full review

Good

I got this for my elderly dad to help him read the paper as his previous one broke (not this brand though). He says its excellent and better than his previous one and is pleased with it.

Great little magnifier

Bought for 90 year old suffering sight loss after a stroke. Handy little magnifier, and the lights really help her see things better.
Little heavy after a while as she's so weak, but generally a good product. Only just got it so can't comment on battery life etc, but good so far.Read full review

Lightweight with good features

A larger lens would have been better as this one has quite a small viewing area. But the quality of the lens is good, as well as the led lights.
Very easy to handle and to operate.
