Very impressed with quality of this gadget. I collect vintage jewelry and vintage costume jewelry and need something small I can take with me to estate sales and shops. The magnification is solid, it comes with a pre-installed battery and an extra battery, and is packaged in a sturdy plastic case. Made with solid plastic and overall good craftsmanship - especially for the price. Couldn't be happier.
This jewelers loop is excellent, especially when you consider the low price. In order to get one marginally better, one would have to pay considerably more. The LED light is pure white, (Neither warm nor cool) in order to render the object to be viewed in it's proper color. I liked it so much, I bought several more to give to friends and relatives. All in all, an excellent eye piece and for more than just jewelry.
I have the magnifier that looks like a mini microscope 60x-120x but it is very hard to use. This works like a charm and it's all you need to be able to see when to harvest your crops. I was worried that the large easy to look through 30x lens section would not show enough but it is exactly what you need to completely inspect your valuable crops. I forgot I also had on my cheap dollar store reading glasses but still really glad I bought it as I can easily see all I need to see. Using the 60x loupe section is a bit harder but still easier than using the 60x-120x mini microscope especially while holding the plant with one hand.
Having misplaced the old magnifier I had, I had to get a new one. Some print is just to fine to read easily without blowing it up a bit. When I got this in, I was a bit surprised how big it was. I knew it would be bigger than my old glass, but I didn't realize how much bigger. I noted it came in nice soft black pouch and a cleaning cloth. Nice ideas for storage and keeping the glass clean. It also has a light on the handle that provides enough light to read by if needed. I note it's x2 with a x5 small area right above where the handle meets the head of the glass. The light runs on 4 AAA batteries. (Not provided, of course....usual practice these days.) This brings me to the only drawback I observed. The batteries fit into the handle and are held in place by a snap on plastic cover. It closes pretty good but does not seem to have a large edge on the cover that holds the cover in place. I've had many covers like this that the edge that hold the cover closed wears down and you then have to tape the cover to keep it on as it won't stay on anymore due to the snap edge wearing down. We'll see how long this edge lasts. It's a great for viewing small text and other things that are hard to see. I found the x5 spot to be helpful to when I needed to look at a few things with a bit more detail. Overall, a good product!
this is a great product.
shipping - it arrived on time and in a thick yellow envelope, secured inside with a healthy amount of bubble wrap.
First impression - the lights worked and it displayed a clear image of microprint (there are certain lines on identification cards that look like plain ole lines, but under a high magnification they read something about the state of the id card) on identification cards/documents. (im a door guy at a bar. i use it to check ids... most fakes scan, but a lot of them don't have the microprint that a legit id has.
Durability - kept on accidentally putting it in my back pocket and sitting on it(in a wooden stool) VERY DURABLE.
Using it at work tonight - checking the long line of i.ds was a lot quicker using this loupe instead of the usual low res magnifying glass and separate flashlight.
outcome - just from tonight, thanks to this loupe, there are a good few little kids going home sober tonight. and i added to my bars "fake id stack"
i WILL buy this again

Just received my fourth loupe, and am happy to finally have a spare for at home. It is interesting how often this thing comes in handy...must be my age and gradually declining visual acuity. Really like this loupe.
These are the nicest, lower priced loupes I have bought. I volunteer at a thrift shop and have "found" many quality pieces of jewelry that, at first glance, seemed to be ordinary costume jewelry. The lights are a helpful addition.
It has often worked a charm when I am out shopping for myself. A loupe is, perhaps, not for everyone, but one of my favorite uses is it being just what my grandsons need when taking a closer look when we are playing in the woods, a perfect companion to our magnifying lenses.
UPDATED: My original order was for two of these so that I would have one at work and one to carry. I gave one to a co-worker, ordered another and passed it along to a friend, and just ordered a fourth loupe. Yes, we all love them.
The picture for this product looks like it is made out of metal when in fact it is made out of what feels like a very cheap plastic. With that being said, you pay for what you get. The low price matches well with the low quality materials. The magnifiers work well and the light that is included on the piece is super convenient. So overall, I’m satisfied with this product.
Strong, bright lights, clear lenses, pretty good case. Used it recently to examine a ring up close and it was excellent. The 60x setting seems a bit harder to use, but OK. The lights seem well aimed at the viewing area. Even though it has its own cover, it also comes in a protective case, which is nice.
Got mine a couple of weeks ago.... I used it immediately and saw that it was sharp and crisp. I liked the LED light feature and then, I put it in "A safe spot" and I haven't seen it since.
It was nice. If I can't find it in a week or so, I will definitely but another one.
I would love it if the extra magnifier area was a bit bigger and the lights brighter. Even so, it enables me to read and see things that I otherwise would have missed. All in all, very happy with the purchase. It comes in a nice storage bag as well.
