I use a computer daily 10 hours a day bookkeeping and downloading copies of checks and deposit slips is impossible to read without this magnifing glass! Why waste paper printing when you can see on line what you need! Absolutely marvelous - I can even see without my glasses, and the light! Wow - what a fantastic addition for clarity! Love it!

As a hand analyst I am looking for a magnifying glass which is clear and with strong, and dependable light for reading in unlighted areas and to identify fingerprints. This product is sturdy with a very strong light with a good contol switch.

I have already purchased 2 more to give to other hand reading friends.

The magnifyer is good. Batteries don't last as long as the write up indicates. I have two magnifyers, one for home and one for work, and both had dead batteries after a few dozen hours. I do rely on this tool a lot and find it very useful.

light is pretty useless
By Magicall from Orlando FL on 2/14/2008
Cons:
Heavy

Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am a palm reader and bought it for that purpose. I often depend on the light of my magnifying glass as the only light I have to work with. The light is dim. It is not focused to shine in the middle of the area that you are trying to see and the batteries are a pain to find.

Mom loves to read and do crossword puzzles but her eyesight is deterioating. She is pleased that it is lighted and has a full sight area without the frame that was on her other one. She takes it to the laundry room and now she can read the labels on her clothing before washing and she uses it to read the print on her prescription bottles. It was a terrific gift and I am now the favorite daughter!!
