Headband Magnifier |
Highly recommended headband-mounted magnifier
For close work as an artist, modeler or craftsman, magnified inspection of a surface or small area is frequently critical. Hand-held glasses are awkward because they leave you with only one free hand. A hands-free, headband-mounted magnifier is usually the preferred solution, but there are a intimidating number to choose from. Out of the dozens of designs available, we recommend this as one of the very best.
First, the headband is comfortable to wear for extended periods (most are too stiff to fit well). Second, there are focused lights on both sides of the headband (4 AAA batteries - not included). Third, there are three sets of fitted lenses: two are double lenses—one is fixed, and the other folds up and down before your eyes on an interior hinge—and the third lens is an outside rotating single eye loupe. The combinations of magnification (using the three) ranges from 1.8X to 4.8X, depending on which lenses you select.

| Excellent Locksmith Assistant |

| This headband magnifier is an excellent tool to use in locksmithing work, or anything that involves up-close, fine motor skill activity. I'm sure the range of available magnification will lead me to use this headpiece in other work I just haven't thought of yet... |

| Great for small detailed work |

| I love this magnifier. It is a great price and very helpful to see details of very small work. The side lights are great. Just remember to shut them off. No workshop should be without them. |

| I love, love, love the HEADBAND MAGNIFIER |
| Reviewed By: |

| I am an artist and was using several different sets of magnifying glasses of different strengths in order to do very fine detail work. I came across the HEADBAND MAGNIFIER one day while perusing my boyfriend's catalog and couldn't believe how perfect it seemed. Three sets of lenses which can be used in all sorts of combinations ranging from 1.8x all the way to 4.8X with an adjustable headband, and, as if that weren't enough, there are even directional lights on each side!! I knew I just had to own this. The price seemed amazingly reasonable, but, by the time I got around to ordering, it was...on sale!!! This HEADBAND MAGNIFIER is everything it advertises itself to be and more -- it is quite comfortable and very easy to adjust to different visual settings -- a huge improvement over the many sets of magnifying eyeglasses which, by the way, only go up to 3X. And every artist I've shown this to has taken down the item and ordering information, determined to purchase one for themselves! This item is a must for anyone who does any sort of fine detail work. You'll love it too! Thank you, Garrett Wade. |
