Review on 10x Clip-On Eye Glasses Loupe Jewelers Opti Magnifier: Enhance Precision and Clarity with Ease by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well, a bit finicky about staying where you set it.

I bought one for the workshop to check sharp edges of the tool and one for the closet to clean the hearing aid earbuds. The magnification is great if you have enough light. The only annoying thing is that when I lean forward to inspect a part, it pivots on the clip and moves away from my glasses. I push it back, it stays a second and falls off as soon as I move. I just push it back every few seconds. It's finicky, but I find it better than a magnifying headpiece. I often have to move it around to check other things, and it's far easier to just move it out of the way than fiddling with a full-size magnifying headset. So I continue to use it in this form. Full-size headsets have their uses and I won't get rid of them, but they're good for setups where you want to quickly check something without fiddling with the hardware. I am happy. In fact, one day I'll see if I can tighten the pivot so it doesn't move as easily. Once this is fixed I will have no complaints.

Pros
  • That's 10 times the power
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
