Product Description

This high quality instrument has everything the hobbyist could want! To start, H999 Multiple Magnification Lighted Headband Magnifier offers 4 different magnifications BUILT IN! This unique optical device has a fixed lens, a pivoting lens right behind it and an outside loupe. Magnifications of 1.8X, 2.3X, 3.7X and 4.8X are achieved by pivoting the inner lens up or down, and swinging the loupe on or off the eyeway. Working distances of 1-1/2" to 10" are possible. To achieve optimal viewing, there are two independent work-directed lights on each side of the magnifier. The visor screen is designed to fit very near the forehead, cutting out ambient light, still allowing the headband to be tilted up. The swing-down loupe can be moved from the right to the left eye with a screwdriver. This durably constructed tool has a hook-and-loop type headband. Requires 4 AAA batteries (not included).

This has been a life saver when working on computers. The battery compartment doors are hard to work with, otherwise I would have given it five stars.

This Mascot Precision Tools Magnifier Head Strap w/Light isn't worth the price. The price makes it look like might be a better quality. It isn't. The construction is cheap-battery doors easily fall off, plastic is thin. Lights do *not* point to the subject viewed through the lens. Lens are of reasonable quality but headband is very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this product.

This is a great tool when you're doing arts & crafts work. With the lights, make it easy to see your work. Now the price,$39.34 is a bit too pricy to pay. That total price was including shipping and handling. I went to Harbor Freight Tools and found the same item just a little over $5.00. This was a ripoff as far as for the price. Save your money and go to Harbor Freight, its the same item and same manufacture. This is my first ripoff ordering on line. Willie White Clovis, Ca.
