It is absolutely ideal for those hundred of times you just need a magnifier for a couple of seconds.Plus its basically the size of two gas lighters side by side - so tiny - and not a weird shape that will store nowhere like a magnifying glass.I'm going to order another for the glove box, electronics box and 'the draw' of which we all have!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Large lens is good, others less so; claimed magnification may mislead

First of all, it's worth pointing out that these lenses being 30X, 60X and 90X does *not* mean that objects will appear 30/60/90 times bigger. These are thick lenses with a very short focal distance, which must be used close to both the object and the eye. I estimate the apparent magnification to be more like 2-8 times depending on how they are used.The largest lens (which provides about 2-3x magnification) is the only useful one really. It operates at a working distance from the object of around 20mm. It is best used close to the eye (<20mm, though can be used in front of glasses), where the image is clear and undistorted away from the edges of the lens - surprisingly good optical quality in fact, although with significant chromatic aberration (which is unsurprising for something at this price). Either of the white LEDs provides plenty of illumination for the main lens.The two smaller, higher power lenses can only be used with the eye right up close to them, which is awkward because of their position (it would be better if they were on the outer edge), and their working distance is only around 4mm and 2mm respectively, which severely limits their use on something like a circuit board with varying component heights that might prevent you getting the lens close enough. Each of these lenses has a white LED close to it and pointing towards it, and because they are located right next to these lenses they can be excessively bright. Switching over to the opposite lens's LED doesn't cast much light, because they are in recessed channels which direct the light towards their own lens.Build quality is good for the price; it seems pretty robust and it's easy to slide open, requiring a little extra pull to click into place and switch the LED on.Personally I have no problems operating the recessed LED switch, but I have fairly skinny fingers.The UV LED just about works but it doesn't exactly induce a lot of fluorescence. The UV areas of a banknote, which glow vividly under my proper UV torch (Convoy S2+ with Nichia LED), barely show up under this. But I have no need for it anyway and I'm not sure what use it is.

Useful little magnifier to carry around with you - very light, and the sliding mechanism seems durable enough. I found the 60x and 90x lenses too small to use easily, but I was expecting that from the photos and I only really need the 30x so I'm happy enough with that.The LED is bright, and you can use the magnifier without it if you don't slide it all the way out. The UV is a bit weedy, but good enough to show up the security features on banknotes, driving licenses etc if you're in a dimly lit room.The weakest part, as others have mentioned, is the switch for the lights, which is fiddly to move - if you don't have fingernails you'll probably need a tool for it.Overall it's great value for money for a portable magnifier, but if you'll be needing it a lot at home you might be better off investing in something bigger and more robust.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great optical quality

M.G.F. · 3 August 2020

As a little gadget to add to your toolbox this is fine, but the optical quality is poor even using the lights, and if you are a jeweller I believe this would be useless to you. The lights are a neat little addition and come on automatically if you open the slide one extra notch. There is a switch to select which of the 3 lights you wish to use.It's cute and handy but as I say, not great quality.

Bought this on behalf of someone else.They have reported its got great magnification and the wee light is good.The fact they can keep it in their pocket, a great advantage.Not sure on the battery life as yet, but overall a good quality item.The only complaint they have is, they have to keep their thumb/finger on the light button to keep it on, but I guess that could be helpful if you forget to turn it off, so saves battery life.A good functional, nice designed item.

Doesn’t do what it says.Wouldn’t buy again or recommend the item

Great product I can see very small print +bonus it’s got a light on it

4.0 out of 5 stars A Really Good Buy

R.K. · 4 April 2019

This was bought for me to take a close look at my coins and hall marks on jewelry. It's bigger than a standard loupe but it has the advantage of various magnifications and the lights. The lights are a big help in gloomy salerooms and the UV light is a bonus as it brings out details you can't see in normal light. It fits neatly in the pocket when I am out and about and with a bit of practice I find it simple to use all the functionality. Being plastic it does feel a little flimsy which is the only negative I have to say. Overall it is a good buy and I am very happy with it.

Purtroppo, nonostante includa le pile, queste non hanno mai funzionato, anche cambiandole.Peccato non poter più fare il reso
