4.0 out of 5 stars Got it with a Leatherman
Well its not bad at all! I was sure it would be a piece of junk, coming as a promotion with the Leatherman tools, but it focuses nicely, has a diopter for getting both eyes focused, and is clear.

The focus mechanism is OK. I was able to pretty easily get that single round view you get when looking through a pair of binoculars.

Not much else to...

2.0 out of 5 stars Barka Trend binoculars free with Leatherman
The optics seem good for the price. Nice and clear. However there's a lot of play in the focus mechanism so the focus of the two eye pieces doesn't track. So I have to always focus moving the adjustment in the same direction. Or only look through one eye. I guess I can't complain too much considering what I paid (nothing).

I find it amusing that they have...

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised by quality of this item, December 24, 2006

This review is from: Barska Trend 376410 8x21 Adjustable Focus Binoculars (Tools & Home Improvement)
We used these binoculars at an NFL game today. They are very compact but feel solid. One negative was a large paper sticker that was applied across the binoculars and left a sticky residue that I was finally able to remove with rubbing alcohol on a cloth. I was concerned about using anything that might mar the finish or otherwise damage the product.

The 21 means the opening is likely too small for anything but day games but these still are a great value for the price.

Good pocket sized binoculars to use at sporting events or looking at birds in your yard etc. They are not powerful enough for spotting things on the other side of a lake or up in the sky.

This review is from: Barska Trend 376410 8x21 Adjustable Focus Binoculars (Tools & Home Improvement)
These are excellent binocs for the price. Nice clear optics, rubberized barrels, good grip and easy focus. Perfect to carry along on hikes, bike trips, etc.

You get what you pay for is all I can say. These are okay for the price but I don't recommend them for anyone who really wants a pair of binoculars to view things from any distance. The kids love them and I didn't mind them playing with them since they were so inexpensive. They are sturdy. They magnify just as advertised which is not very much. Okay for the price.

The optics seem to be decent, but the mechanical focusing is loose and not precise. Worth the ten dollars I paid, but not more.

I find it amusing that they have a lifetime warranty. But if you need to take advantage of it, you must send the binoculars back freight prepaid, with a check for $20 to cover inspection,shipping and handling. That just happens to be their list price.

The cosmetic finish on these is excellent. The collimation on my pair was perfect (the image for each eye is properly aligned, sometimes a problem in low-cost binoculars). There is a little hysteresis in the focusing mechanism.

Just exactly what I wanted to leave in the glove compartment of my car.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is good if free, June 2, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Barska Trend 376410 8x21 Adjustable Focus Binoculars (Tools & Home Improvement)
I got this thing free for buying another leatherman tool.

It works fine, with reasonable optical quality. Focus is adjustable, giving reasonable good image. The exit pupil is sort of too small - always with "black circle".

It is good to get it free - if you are paying for it - that is a vivitar one for $1x.xx on amazon - that's the thing you want for this level binocular.

Current I use a Canon IS 10x30 binocular, that's called a binocular but this is not.
