5.0 out of 5 stars Quality product, March 3, 2009

DonD "DonD" (West Plains, MO) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: 5" 3x MAGNIFIER optical tool - MAP & NEWSPAPER (Misc.)

The lens or viewing area is 5 inches. The total diameter is 5.5 inches. The magnification is less than 2X. The glass is of excellent quality. It's too bad it's advertised as 3X. This deception cheapens what is otherwise a very good product. DonD, West Plains, MO

This review is from: 5" 3x MAGNIFIER optical tool - MAP & NEWSPAPER (Misc.)

Do NOT Buy!!!!

Complained to seller that magnification was nOT 3X -- it is 2X at
best. They responded that box said it was 3X and they do not check
the cliams. Made in China. Also very HEAVY -- not easy to use.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: 5" 3x MAGNIFIER optical tool - MAP & NEWSPAPER (Misc.)

i am a physician and i use magnifiers to look at lesions on the skin. My big complaint is that the glass is blurry. i tried to clean it multiple times before i realized that it was polished poorly.
to make matters worse they are extremely heavy.
do not buy this product. the saying you get what you pay for is true. i bought these because they were less expensive, they are terrible.

The magnifying glass is great. It is difficult to locate a glass of this size for so reasonable a price. It shipped quickly and arrived within a few days of placing the order.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended
Very heavy.
Poor magnification.
Cushioned handle slips back and forth and feels as if it may come off.
No protective storage for large glass surface.
