These binoculars are great. They are small enough to carry with you in a handbag, easy to use, and are good optical quality for the price, actually great quality for the price. Unlike some other binoculars I have used, these do not have any collamination issues and provide a full picture. 12x zoom is nice for getting up really close to your subjects. overall a really good buy

Got this product from Walmart. I was looking for something cheap, but the $9.00 binoculars were out of stock, so I picked this Tasco product. I was in a hurry, as we were heading to Monster Jam, so I opened it in the car while waiting for everyone to pile in the car. When I pulled them out of the pastic packaging the whole eye piece came off.

At first I was shocked, but since I was in a hurry, and it looked like something I could fix, I got a mini screw driver.

This is what I found:
1) the eye piece has threads on the outside of the inner section, and the body of the binoculars has threads on the inside...the eye piece was never screwed in, just a set screw was tightened down, but the set screw was probably not even far enough down to tighten onto the body.

When I put the optics back in, I had the same problem as another reviewer, I couldn't get one image, and ended up looking in only one eye piece while I was using.

Not real good quality control, Tasco...not impressed. Of course I am taking them back.

Maybe I got a lemon.....looking through the binoculars, you get a double image; like the left eye monocular was not pointing in the same direction as the right eye monocular. No amount of adjusting both lens's or the right monocular would fix this. Into the trash these go........gonna have to dig deeper in the wallet to get a pair that works.
