Works. Can be a fire starter or fine print trading aid.
Works fine. Very thin. Good for reading fine print or starting fires.

These work great
These are just nice to have around. They do a great job as magnifiers, easy to keep in a wallet/purse to have at all times. Cheap enough where you can buy lots, and have them all over the house/shop/garage, wherever you sometimes need one, always at hand.

Where have these been my whole life?
I am what you would call an "armchair" survivalist. Testing out survival gear is one of my hobbies. I am not going to lie, I thought these were a gimmick - they definitely are not! These barely weigh a few grams but they do so much for so little mass. In full sunlight I lit a cigarette in about 20-30 seconds and I am confident I could get a camp fire going with relative ease. As a bonus, on the back of the sleeve I drew a diagram of a bowline knot (the so-called king of knots). This is probably my favorite piece of survival gear overall. Very impressed!

Very handy to read menus in the dark restaurants with small font.
I put one of these in my wallet because I don't want to carry my reading glasses when I got out to eat. Very handy to read menus in the dark restaurants with small font.

Good Magnifier, but not my first choice at starting a fire
First of all, the product is okay as a Magnifying lens and the cost is reasonable. What I don't like about the product, is that it is often very hard to light a fire with a magnifying lens. I have tested this myself and unless the sun is at a good angle, you are not going to get a fire from this device. You may brown the paper (or whatever you are trying to light), but that might be all you get. Besides, what if you need a fire when the sun goes down. This product is not going to help you in that situation. I would recommend the follow items first before you include this item in your survival pack: Good Magnesium Fire Steel, Disposable Lighter, Matches. Don't forget to pack some cotton balls. Cotton balls go up incredible fast and they are fairly cheap and light weight. When you add some petroleum jelly to the cotton balls, you get a hot start to your fire and the fire will last a little longer. I will carry this item in my survival pack because it is so light, but I doubt I will be trying to start any fires with it.

Delivered quickly enough. These are very thin and I havenโt been successful in starting a fire yet. As to the quality I really donโt know but they were expensive enough so Iโm hoping they will be a good addition to my hiking survival kit.

Not much to say other than it arrived very quickly. They are very small and compact and do not take much space. Great for emergencies!
