As advertisedJanuary 5, 2009 I have only used it a couple of times but it works great. Magnification is the same as the ones at the jewelry stores.
Great Product at a Low PriceDecember 29, 2008 This may not be a loupe for the professional, but for the Average Joe (like me) it is a wonderful product to help you magnify those small projects. I purchased mine to use occasionally for inspecting certain small parts on my cars engine...this is exactly what I needed.
The only reason that I give it 4 stars, instead of 5, is that it isn't a "high-end" loupe...but it is something that is more geared towards those of us that don't want to spend $30 for a Bausch&Laumb.
Wonderful for a HobbyistDecember 7, 2008 This item is nearly perfect. It's easy to hold, has a nice lanyard hole, and swivels with the perfect amount of resistance.
The only problem, and it's very slight, is that mine has a very slight chip in the glass. It's not a problem for me, however, because I'm a hobbyist and don't need a professional-grade loupe and this one is perfect for my needs.
Amazing quality!November 23, 2008 This is an amazing product for the money. The quality is simply exceptional and the performance is equally good.
Good-Quality LoupeNovember 16, 2008 The loupe that I ordered arrived as promised, in a timely fashion and well packaged for shipping. It is of good quality, consistent with the price. I judge the product to be a good value and the service from the provider to be excellent.
