Tools and Hardware Reviews of Head Wearing Magnifier Can Be Used Hands Free And Worn Over Glasses. Has Dual Magnifying Power.
Customer Review: Light weight comfortable but easily scratched
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this to be able do repairs on my electric guitars and basses, my wife's jewelry, and various electronics. For those tasks, it is a decent magnifier. I'll keep this review very simple by just listing the pros and cons.
PROS:
* Light weight. It's all plastic; I have chronic neck problems and this doesn't feel heavy or bother my neck at all.
* 2 different magnification levels. I find it easy to swich between magnification lenses.
* Adjustable head band. Velcro fastener on the back allows for easy fit and adjustment for head size.
CONS:
* The lenses are acrylic (like plastic) so they are EASILY scratched! If you don't store these carefully, you'll end up just throwing them away since the lenses will quickly become too scratched to use.
* Magnification is not very high. These have approximately 2x and 3x lenses. A typical handheld magnifying glass is 2x or 3x and a jewelry loupe is typically 10x (to give you a comparison). I would have liked to see this with something like a 2x and a 5x. In other words, the 2nd more powerful lense on this unit is not very powerful at all and only offers a slight magnification over the 1st lense.
* Field of view on this is terrible! When switched to the 2nd lense (3x) I literally had to put the lense, i.e. my face, only 1 to 2 INCHES away from the item I was viewing. I felt like I was nearly touching it with my face! Not a problem when you're looking at jewelry; a big deal when your soldering electronics. I had to put my face VERY CLOSE to my solder work and consequently got a face full of lead smoke. Not to mention, one false move and I could have touch the skin on my face with the soldering iron. If you are not literally a couple of inches or less from your subject matter, the 3x lense is blurry and unusable. When using the 2x lense, you need to keep around 3 to 4 inches to it or it will be blurry. Since these are cheap acrylic lenses, there isn't any room for error--there is no adjustment or correction with these lenses. Basically, you have to be EXACTLY in the right spot to see your subject matter with this magnifier; other wise, it will blur.
* It comes in a carboard box only. This magnifier--with its fragile, acrlyic lenses--did NOT come with a storage bag or box. I store mine by wrapping them in a cotton washcloth and keeping them in the box. Without a silk or satin storage bag, the risk of the lenses getting scratched is pretty high. In my opinion, this should have come with a storage bag or container to protect the lenses.
In summary: Yes, I would recommend this to anyone who does small hobby work that doesn't require soldering or anything that generates smoke or heat (e.g. hot gluing, wood burning, etc). There are better, more expensive units out there for the pros but if you're on a budget or you are just a hobbiest, this one should be fine. If you have the money to spare, there are better magnifying hoods on the market.

Description of Head Wearing Magnifier Can Be Used Hands Free And Worn Over Glasses. Has Dual Magnifying Power.
This head-wearing magnifying glass is loaded with features that make it ideal for a variety of tasks. Use it for artwork, needlework, precision drawing, parts inspection, small repairs, assembly, nature observation or a myriad other projects requiring close inspection. With the front lens, objects will be magnified 2.2. times their actual size. A second lens set is fixed on a hinge and when it is flipped down objects will appear 3.3 times their actual size. This lens set can be flipped up or down while wearing the magnifier. The acrylic lenses are highly polished for a clear view. Although the magnifier is made of extremely sturdy materials the entire unit weighs only 3.7 ounces. For further comfort the velcro headband allows individual adjustment and the lens portion can be swung up or down as the wearer chooses. In addition, the hood is designed far enough from the forehead so that glasses can be worn when using the magnifier. The lenses measure 3-3/8" wide across the front and 1-1/8" high so you get a large field of vision. This is a terrific tool and will make a great addition to your workshop, art studio or for general use at home or work.Tools and Hardware
