Inexpensive, yet not Cheap. Good Quality, nice options that were unanticipated.
I bought this magnifier after looking at various other devices and reading disappointment in the focal length. Looking at this device it seemed to be thought out from looking at the graphics and description. Thankfully I was right. The device comes with a case to hold the magnifier lenses and a cleaning cloth. It also has a elastic strap that can replace the traditional legs of the glasses. The LED light is bright AND adjustable to point more forward or downward. The lenses snap into the holder at one point in the swing and are more locked at other points. The lens holder can be adjusted closer or further from the face for better focal length. Lenses can also be tipped up if not needed at the moment.
Lenses are small making the field of view small as well, but that is to be expected since it is intended for detail work such as electronics, watch repair Between the 1x to 3.5x lenses it is also helpful for sewing or fine needlework, particularly with the led light. Personally I use them when repairing my computer to see small lightly printed codes, etc on components. Spouse has snagged them twice to do hand sewing with the excuse that they are easier and more convenient than the $40+ magnifier bought from a big box craft store. Also the box helps to protect the lenses from scratches, the headband and ability to tip the lenses up helps to prevent wanting to take them on and off since it's just easier to tip them up out of the way when not needed immediately. (batteries included for the led to boot!) Very happy with my purchase.
Just noticed this is marked as a "toy" don't know the reason for it beyond it is not for professional (medical) use. More for a home hobbyist.
