Review on AORAEM Soldering Auxiliary Magnifier for Enhanced Precision by Donald Waller

I used it to replace a 1r0 inductor with an rtx 2080. But otherwise it was frustrating to work with, to be honest. I cannot fault the item fully. I couldn't find out by searching the internet. But personally, it's pretty obvious that it's not as big as I thought it would be. Everything fits in a softball sized box, fully assembled except (for some reason) a single ball joint for attaching helping hands. The fully disassembled small form factor GPU is too heavy for them and I can't fault the product because I just don't care enough to give it that much attention. It's better than nothing, but not the best sub-$50 option for SMD rework. The light is bright and works great for what I can do with it. But to be honest, I think it's built for a 10x coin-sized smudge on a magnifying glass that feels like wasted. The weight of the helping hands feels like most extra weights, they turn everything around. This is very frustrating. I gave it 3 stars because there's nothing wrong with it if you're working with keychains or clocks or light SMD post-processing like I said. But anything heavier or bigger is better off with a couple of stands and a bigger magnifying glass that's been pinched down your desk or something. My only real complaint, which is why I didn't give it 4 stars, is the ridiculously small 1ft USB cable they include for the lights. It's DC 5V, so if you have something to plug it into the wall, like a 5ft cord, you can use it more. But you need to either connect it to your computer or buy a USB power adapter separately. Otherwise I would have given 4 stars.
