Product Description

This head-wearing magnifying glass is loaded with features that make it ideal for a variety of tasks. Use it for artwork, needlework, precision drawing, parts inspection, small repairs, assembly, nature observation or a myriad other projects requiring close inspection. With the front lens, objects will be magnified 2.2. times their actual size. A second lens set is fixed on a hinge and when it is flipped down objects will appear 3.3 times their actual size. This lens set can be flipped up or down while wearing the magnifier. The acrylic lenses are highly polished for a clear view. Although the magnifier is made of extremely sturdy materials the entire unit weighs only 3.7 ounces. For further comfort the velcro headband allows individual adjustment and the lens portion can be swung up or down as the wearer chooses. In addition, the hood is designed far enough from the forehead so that glasses can be worn when using the magnifier. The lenses measure 3-3/8" wide across the front and 1-1/8" high so you get a large field of vision. This is a terrific tool and will make a great addition to your workshop, art studio or for general use at home or work.

I've tried several different magnifiers, this one is my favorite. The lenses are clear and give a good field of view without a lot of chromatic aberration. I really like the extra flip down lenses for additional magnification, this is great for close up work.
It is mostly plastic so I don't know how well it will hold up, but at $20 I wasn't expecting it to be too robust. Given the price I am very pleased.
I am going to order a second one so I can have one at home and one at work.

I used this magnifier to help out an elderly disabled lady who had broken off the key in the switch of her electric scooter. The extra magnification allowed me to lift the rest of the key out by using the sharp points of sewing needles. Until I put the magnifier on I was having difficulty seeing what I was doing. It was not a huge amount of magnification, but it was definitely enough to get the job done.
