How about three extra hands? This multi-purpose workstation tool has a large 3X, 3-1/2" dia LED-lighted magnifier on a 10" gooseneck (you add 4 "AA" batteries), a soldering-iron stand, cleaning sponge plus steel wool, a canister of flux paste, a pair of  alligator clips with ball-socket mounts on the ends of a 4" rod  plus an extra hand with a third alligator clip on a 10" gooseneck. It all weighs in at a stable 3+ lbs and has a 7-1/4" x 6-3/4" base so you won't need fourth hand to hold it upright.

Forget watchmaking, you could write the "A Tale of Two Cities" on a piece of tortellini with this triple magnifier visor. Magnifies from 1.8X to 4.8X. Has a permanent and flip-down 1.9X lenses, and a flip-down 4.5X loupe. Dual white LEDs in a pivoting mount, powered by (2) "AAA"s each which aren't included. The whole thing is in a black plastic visor, 7-3/4" wide x 5-1/4" deep with a flexible plastic strap with adjustable dial control. Opens to 9" max dia and has coated acrylic lenses. Now then: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…..

Steampunk alert! Also…model and jewelry maker alert! This pair of 10X acrylic doublet loupes is mounted on black eyeglass frames and flanked by LED lights powered by (2) included CR1620 button cell batteries. These are for close work only, from 1" to 1-1/2", and can focus only one lens at a time (not both on the same object) so if you’re a steampunker looking for a new accessory, plan on perching this rig on your pate or chapeau.

It’s a little jewelers loupe. The loupe is little, not the jewelers, although they could be short, but we’ve never actually seen the jewelers who use these, so…oh, never mind--it’s shiny brass and would look jewel-like hung on a chain. Measures a teardroppy 1-1/8" x 7/8" x 3/4" shape, and folds out to reveal an 18mm dia glass lens with approx 10X magnification.

Flat plastic Fresnel lens. This flexible magnifier is 7-1/4" x 10-1/4" and only about a millimeter thick. It is great when you need to scan a list or to look for something in a directory. You can see most of the page without moving the magnifier. Only about 1.5 power, but that can make a huge visual difference. The quality is not high, but neither is the price.

No lights, no cases, no frills, but nice quality, nice price, just plain nice acrylic loupes. You pick the 6X, with a 23mm lens, and a height of 1-7/8”; the 10X with a 23mm lens, and a height of 1-1/2”; or the 15X with a 21mm lens, and a height of 1-3/16”. Tarklika, our Chief Thread Count Verification Officer claims that these have tripled her efficiency, just imagine what they can do for you.

A nice 3X loupe, 2-3/8" dia, that folds into its own 3-3/8" x 2-5/8" tear-drop-shaped plastic case, and it's only 5/8" thick, just right for sliding into your pocket. Pay no attention the "6X" markings on the package-if mistakes didn't happen, we wouldn't be in business.

This little 5X, 3/4" dia glass magnifier for home, business or hobby use slides into its own 2" x 1-3/8" x 3/4" black case. Slide the magnifier out all the way and it automatically turns on the white LED light, just like your fridge, except it's not cold. (Don't want the light? Just pull it out part-way.) Runs on (3) button-cell batteries, included and replaceable.

Low-profile reading glasses (AKA readers) with small 1-3/4" x 3/4" lenses. The frames are all the same delicate style and come in assorted colors to match the slim, plastic carrying case with the pocket clip. The plastic lenses are 1X, 1.25X, 1.5X, 1.75X, 2X, 2.5X, 3X. Our package of (3) pairs will be in assorted magnifications & colors (our choice). Note the incredible price -- these sell for up to $12.95 EACH at your local pharmacy!

Excellent quality 1-3/4" dia magnifier on a gold- or silver-colored, thin 36" chain with clasp. Package calls it 5X but our magnification guru says less than that at optimum focal length. Perfect for wearing to formal antique shows.
