| I use these when I'm doing any detail work; sharpening knives, working on my firearms, car parts, etc. They are comfortable and simple to adjust the magnification. The two lights really do help when you're working on small things. |

| Great magnifiers |

| I had tried several other visor-style magnifiers in the past, and was never satisfied. I am a jewelry maker, and most of the inexpensive brands produced visual or color distortions that made my work harder, not easier, so just struggled on with my "cheaters". I decided to give it one more try and ordered this item. These lenses seem to be nearly distortion-free, and having two different choices of lenses plus the loupe should give just about enough magnification options for the work they are doing - if not, you can always wear your cheaters under the visor! I use mine every time I work on a jewelry project now!

| This is such an invaluable tool if you work with models or small scale thing. also great to look at that thing you just pulled off your leg! The Lights on the side are really great addition, it focuses the light at just the right angles to give extra light or the only light when working. The only thing I wish it had was a way to keep the glasses tight, because they do tend to sag a little. the head band is adjustable and works great. I put a little foam pad on the glasses where it meets my nose to make it more comfortable when I wear them for a longer period of time. It is really a great item to have around the house for those jobs where you need to remove tiny screws to the pro modeler! |

I'm a jeweler and have been trying out this headband magnifier steadily over a weekend. The visor unit is more solid than most of the several others I own; very competitive with my favorite optivisor I have been using for years.
It was the side lights and two lens panels that attracted my interest. The lights are not bright enough, but still very useful. Having one on each side is good, especially with one side pointed a little higher than the other, making for a wider lit work area. Brighter LED bulbs, with good energy efficiency, would be a big improvement. These seem to burn batteries very quickly.
The dual lens panels, with one hinged to flip up is a nice feature, but greater magnification would be a serious improvement. The fixed lens has very little magnification, and the hinged lens has a medium level of magnification. Stronger lenses, perhaps as user installed options, would be a big improvement. The small round lens is good for a viewing a very specific small item, but not useful generally for most purposes.
The velcro closure on the back the headband is very secure, while the dial on my optivisor headband can tend to slip. I may make a leather band to cushion the forehead band to make extended use more comfortable.
Since I sometimes use such a magnifier visor for 6 to 10 hours a day, I'm always on the lookout for a promising model, and this one has some very good features. I do hope that some of these improvements appear in future versions, but this is a good tool. Thanks. |

| I am a coin collector who recently had spinal fusion surgery. After they fused 3 vertebra in my neck, it hurt too much to look down a lot. I constantly was picking up and putting down a lighted loupe and my neck was in constant pain. This little darling allows me to work the coins and not have the constant bending to pick up and put down the loupe. In addition, the light weight and convenience of the operating controls is wonderful. Thank you for putting the enjoyment back into my coin collecting. |
