TECHSHARE Magnifying Glass with Light, Lighted Magnifying Glass, 5X Handheld Pocket Magnifier Small Illuminated Folding Hand Held Lighted Magnifier for Reading Coins Hobby Travel - 45 Mm Diameter

This is a very handy small Magnifier. It has two distinct advantages. When is that it swivels out from a cover so that when you’re not using it, you can protect the lens. The other is that it is lighted so if you open it fully, it will light the object you are looking at. Both really good advantages and the lenses good as well.

I bought a bunch of these for stocking stuffers. I liked them so much that I just bought one for myself, too. They’re just really handy. The magnification is good; the light is just bright enough. I keep it by my bed, but now I’m thinking of getting one more to keep in my purse…actually, make that three more - one each for my sister and her husband, too.

The item has a quality feel. The light automatically comes on when the magnifying glass is fully opened. This is the only thing that I would change personally, but it is easy enough to sit.ply not open the glass all the way if you do not wish to use the light. Magnification is great and unlike glasses with much higher magnifying capability, it is easy to use and understand what you are looking at. All in all, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a pocket magnifier. Five stars.

The only reason I gave this lighted magnifire four stars rather than five is because I find it a little bit difficult to open - which is actually probably a good thing. I mean, you don't want it flopping open indiscriminately, do you?! And my difficulty may be because of my arthritis.It is a very handy little gadget - I'm using it to help me write this review (I have a fair amount of vision loss). The keychain will come in handy when I buy another, but this one i generally keep in my pocket (small enough & very lightweight).The built-in light, while essential for me, most would find handy as well. A nice feature (although it might not have been meant as a feature); if you pull the glass out just far enough to clear the case, the light doesn't come on, saving the battery when not neededI recommend.

The viewer on this magnifier is quite generous and the light is great. Bigger overall size than I anticipated but this makes it even better. I highly recommend it and would buy again.

I am getting older but I really think that fine print has become smaller and more difficult to read. I have many items that the serial number or the Mac ID are so small that I don't believe I could have read them even when I was younger. Having one of these on my keychain and then several of them at places in my home where I need to quickly read a small tag or serial number when I'm on the phone with the representative is a necessity. It makes it very easy to read what they need me to read and to do it accurately. These have worked reliably and are very reasonably priced.
