I've been a GW customer since the late 70's and am still using handtools from GW that I purchased over 25 years ago. The quality is that good. Great company. The coolest stuff. Thanks again, -NP
Thank you for your conscientious and admirable customer service ethic. Another reason why I shop with you. -Serge
Originally designed as a jeweler's tool, this 10X Loupe has a single bright LED light in its frame. The included battery will last thousands of hours. The diameter of the glass lens is 3/4". Inspect surface blemishes precisely or look at the burr on a chisel edge ultra close-up. This is a very useful tool and is inexpensive enough to be a real bargain. China.
I have a friend who really appreciates this loupe - the one I ordered had a problem: the light acts like a strobe light - I wanted to open it up and check the battery connection, but the screwdriver that came wit it is the wrong size! I cannot recommend at this time.
of course this is a bit bigger as it has the light, but the light is good and bright and the lens is good. really easy to see detail.. in my case to read hallmarks in resale shops.. often sublit. Definitely a good product for the money. Will use in other applications too... unlike other" good value" products this is not junk!
Five Stars! After ten years as a naturalist I have found the perfect 10X hand lens to use in ID-ing flora and fauna in the field and back home. I've used maybe a dozen other types but this one outperforms them all in every way. A very fine instrument, well made, and the LED light is an awesomne addition to its usefulness. I am very glad to have found this hand lens and it hangs proudly around my neck whenever I go out on some natural history trek. I have subsequently given every other hand lens away. No disappointment here.
