Tools and Hardware Reviews of 5" 3x MAGNIFIER optical tool - MAP & NEWSPAPER
Customer Review: Nice wide view lens at a reasonable cost.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product in order to view some of my smaller print books and study bibles as I am getting to that age where it becomes difficult to read smaller font.
With a smaller viewing area it seems more difficult to follow the flow of words on paper, but this 5 1/2" round lens definitely helps there.
The only downsides is the heaviness of the lens, which may be a problem for some, and the rubber of the comfort grip has a bit of a petroleum smell. (I put a bit of scented baby powder on my hands, and rubbed it across the grip to solve the latter problem.)
All in all a great product for the cost.
Customer Review: Big Enough, But Weak
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy this product if you need something to read small print. The size is perfect but the magnification is very weak. I am extremely disappointed. I have a 2" magnifier that is so much more powerful. I wear reading glasses and I can read small print without them using the small 2" magnifier. I can't say the same for this 5-1/2 magnifier. Even with my glasses, the print is extremely hard to read. It might as well be window glass. Do not purchase. Also, the box it came in did not have any packing material and was split down one side. All in all, I think I am going to return this product.Customer Review: Chinese mag glass in need of glue
Summary: 3 Stars
The item arrived in mangled packaging state. When I took the mag glass out of its box, the glass itself nearly fell to the floor as the securing plastic ring fell out as well.
I had to use superglue to secure the glass retention ring in place. It would have been nice to have a pouch for the unit. Isn't there anything that is made in USA these days?
No, I suppose there isn't, just like UK and everywhere else. Shame that.
I suppose for the price it's reasonable, but I'd rather pay a bit more for quality product, this is the usual Chinese crap.
Customer Review: Excellent Aid In Reading
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this gift for an elderly relative who is having problems reading some smaller print on everyday items. This magnifier does the job admirably. It is large enough to enable the reading of books - or any other item.
Our one complaint is the rubber handle. It does not feel like it is securely mounted, and gives the impression it will fall off soon. This does not take away from the functionality of this lens, but kept me from giving the product 5 stars.
Customer Review: AH! I can see!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had cataract surgery and have been dealing with "adjustments" for 6 months. I finally broke down and thought I'd get a "glass" that could help with the "fine print", well, I got a great tool as well as a surprise. I was thinking it would be a plastic lens, to my surprise, IT IS GLASS AND VERY CLEAR! Awesome for reading everything from menus to computer screens! Excellent service and product!
