Insten Magnifying Glass 5X Handheld Reading Magnifier - Crystal Clear Glass Lens for Book Newspaper Maps Reading, Classroom Science, Insect & Hobby Observation, Great for Seniors and Kids

Handy for reading small print

Use it every day!!

I have worn glasses for 60 years to help my distance vision, until the last decade I could just take them off to see up close (closer than reading distance) but those days are fading and I need more 'help' for some of the tiny things. This magnifying glass is really handy to have on my desk and it has a glass lens so it hasn't become all scratched up. A recent example was using it to find the disassembly notch on a watch and then read the number on the tiny, dead battery. Other than it taking me a while (not the fault of the glass) to learn that I had to pick which eye I was going to look through and close the other one to avoid eye strain (I don't recall that being necessary in science class all of those decades ago) I have had no problems with the magnifying glass and am very glad to have it nearby.

This is a small magnifier but it is powerful enough for me to read those super tiny words on the side of a pill bottle. Super happy with it! So frustrating when you can almost see something! Feels nice and substantial too, not plastic cheapy.

Good value for an old fashioned hand held mag

Good price and serve well for old tired eyes when working with small IC's and trying to read the markings on very small capacitors and other electronic components. A good price and convenient size.

This magnifying glass is sturdy and well made. The magnification is good and will be the perfect tool for my Granddaughter to examine her gemstones and rocks.

A nice magnifier for my granddaughter rock/gem collection that wasordered for Christmas. This will also encourage to have interest innature.
