Review on KINGMAS Jewelry Jewelers Magnifying Magnifier: Enhance Your Beading & Jewelry Making Experience by Wendy Rodriguez

As others have said, this thing isn't 30 times bigger than advertised. I have an old Radio Shack handheld microscope at 30x magnification and the difference is like night and day. However, this magnifying glass is powerful enough to get a decent look at your trichomes. With a little patience and a steady hand, you can easily distinguish a clear color from a milky one. The handheld microscope, while more powerful, is extremely difficult to use and focus on. This small magnifying glass is very handy and easy to use. Mine arrived with a flap that was too loose and was loose. 1/4 turn of the Phillips screw and problem solved. The quality seems good for the money. Enough power for normal growers. Reputable manufacturers should shell out $20 and get a handheld oscilloscope compatible with Android phones (advertised at a whopping 1,000x magnification).
