TECHSHARE Magnifying Glass with Light, Lighted Magnifying Glass, Handheld Pocket Magnifier Small Illuminated Folding Hand Held Lighted Magnifier for Reading Coins Hobby Travel - 45 Mm Diameter

This magnifying glass is actually better than I anticipated. Lately half my purchases here have been utter junk - despite researching and reading reviews. This one - is not junk. The light comes on when you open it all the way - which I do not want - so I only open it part way. The magnification is better than the small printer's loupe because it has both a much wider view and a higher magnification. Is it 5x? I don't know, but it is large. I can hold it away from a quarter and fill the opening of the glass with the quarter and it is in focus. To me, that's very cool. I looked at a ladybug's feet while it walked on the window ledge and I could actually see the shape of them which I never did before. It is a little big for actually walking with in your pants pocket, but that's okay. It would fit neatly in a purse or coat pocket. Despite really liking this item, I can't figure out how some reviewers got actual photos of the size of the magnified object through the lens. When I took videos or photos, the scale through a camera/phone lens was far different (smaller) than to my actual eye when the image was in focus. How'd they achieve those images? Regardless, it works fantastic for my eyes - and that's the whole point of me having it. Perfect for tiny print on my battery banks (like 5 point font size! who can read that?) ... for food labels ... for seeds I'm germinating ... for looking at random interesting things like ladybugs ... snails in the aquarium ... and coins. I'm impressed. Would buy it again. Considering my luck with buying here lately, I'm really surprised. The only negative? It's plastic. Feels like it could be broken without trying awfully hard. For the price though you're not going to get aluminum or stainless steel with a glass lens - so it's okay.

My 9 year old grandson prounced it to be "cool" and asked if he could have one. Sure thing. The LIGHT -- which you control by opening the device just a bit ( no light) to opening it fully ( lights up) makes this magnifyier truly functional in virtually all circumstances. And really important to me: it weighs nothing! Put it in a pocket, purse, clipped to a backpack and adds nothing to weigh you down, but gives great piece of mind knowing you can read any small print in any light confidently. Dont know how long battery ( replaceable) lasts but after 5 months of very frequent use, mine is going strong. And who doesn't want to be "cool"?

Love the size and light comes on once magnifier is open. The grip is nice and makes it feel sturdy. It makes small print readable when held at right distance. Don’t expect to view full sentences at one glance but it serves its purpose as words are not blurry.

Item is as described. Works well for working with Diamon Dots. The only negative is the light burned out after a few uses. The size of it is very handy, easy to use & gives ample magnification. I would buy again.

This is perfect for general magnifying this is the one I should have bought the first time I think you will love it you can use it with out activating the light ( nice )

This little Lighted Magnifier is really great! Works perfectly, and very handy to have around. I read the other reviews and decided to give it a try. Very glad I did. Exactly what I was looking for!

I am 68 years old and my eye sight is not what it used to be. Like many older people my close-up vision is not very good anymore. I purchased this product to help me read the small print on items or see close up details when required. The magnifying glass works great, is well made, fairly compact and the built in light really helps light the area (another problem with older folks, is low light loss of acuity). I recommend this product.

I had been collecting coins since I was a kid and I'm 64 now. I'm disabled and have been looking for hobbies and so Im going through all of these coins. I'm literally knee deep in coins. So, I purchased this magnifying glass because it's the perfect size. I can read the dates and look for imperfections. My eyesight is not the best and this glass makes it so easy Works great. There's really not a down side to this little glass. I'd recommend it to anyone needing it for magnifying small hard to see images. Wouldn't trade if for anything else
