Lnchett 30X 40X Foldable Magnifying Glass with Light and Stand, 33 LED Magnifier with Three Lighting Modes, Portable and Convenient for Seniors Reading, Close Work, Coins, Jewelry

If a day goes by that I'm not squinting through a pair of reading glasses, trying to make out something written in a type size that would take the Hubble to read - I don't remember. When trying to read the model number inside my eye glasses and was only able to make out a blur, at least I think it was a blur, I checked out magnifying glasses on Amazon and thought this would be right at home on my desk. I wasn't expecting to be impressed but I was and am. It may not be "optical quality" glass but it's heavy, scratch resistant and most importantly - crystal clear with no distortion. The glass comes in it's own box with a protective plastic sleeve, a nice thing to keep over the glass when not in use. If you're looking for a magnifying glass at this magnification you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal, not at this give away price. Highly Recommended.

this item is made really well with strong heavy weight soft rubber. it has just enough magnifying strength to help me, a 73-yr-old female with glaucoma, read the small print on over-the-counter supplements, and prescription bottles. it seems like i'm always picking it up to use for something in the kitchen area. i've gotten where i keep it on the kitchen counter, between the kitchen and the living area. i'm going to buy more to give as gifts for different occasions for all the different ages in my "village" of friends.

The magnifying glass I ordered seems pretty clear edge to edge and it does a good job. The light weight makes it nice when you have to hold it up for a while. After using it a bit, I like it pretty well. My only negative is that it does seem to pick up a bit of back glare if you aren't very careful how you hold it in relation to a light source. I will need to get a bigger lens size when I need more help reading a book or magazine article but for spot work this thing is really good.

I like the face that this magnifier is solidly built. 3" lens that's nice and clear, with no distortion. It doesn't magnify a lot, but it's been enough to see what I need to see when reviewing architectural systems drawings, and has eliminated the strain of trying to decipher symbols that are just a little too small to read without some help. The yellow helps find it when it gets covered up, but I wish it was available in a more retro/classic type finish...

I'm a hobby beekeeper and I needed a rugged magnifier for outdoor use when inspecting my hives. This one is very well suited to the job. It has the level of magnification needed and it's got a well-designed handle that is easy to grip when wearing leather gloves. Plus it fits nicely into the pocket of my bee suit. Handy for letting my grandson look at tiny things too. He's fascinated!

I was using a tiny loop magnifier for far too long. It could be better magnification but backing off the image and moving around the focal length can get your image up to the size that easy to read (or distinguish, lots of little graphics out there). Also I should get a freznel lens version for reading but I am not used to reading with a magnifier.

Does do the job but lense not completely clear and magnification not as shown. Willing to live with deficiencies because of low cost.

I made the mistake of only getting 1, and have rectified that by ordering a 2nd, while my sis is also ordering a couple. It's got a lovely clear lens, is large enough to hold easily and read a large area, or to use when sketching or coloring fine detail. I can see the rubber handle may spare my hand a lot of fatigue, but I can also see it liking to hang on to dust, so I keep mine in a zipper top baggie, and will make a case for it when I've got the time. I don't foresee many days when it doesn't get used, either for art or reading labels. This would also make a good gift to us people who wear glasses and are prone to eye strain.

The product was faulty, there was a crack.
