Purelite Illuminated Hands-Free Magnifier 2 in 1 LED, 107mm 2x Main Lens with Close Up Detail Lens, Battery Operated Neck Magnifier for Craft Reading Sewing Hobby, Clear, Black

This is a brilliant magnifying glass. I can now see to do the smallest of cross stitch without the eye strain. With the addition of the lights it's great. Would definitely recommend.

Very easy to use and lightweight. The led lights work well too. It’s perfect to help me with cross stitch projects and being able to see symbols clearly on charts.

Very useful for tying fishing rigs - or similar craft close work etc. Light works well and suits me fine Update, I do find the small higher magnification circular area a bit of a nuisance for what I want as it does tend to get in the way. If I were choosing again, I would look for a similar unit I would make sure it had just the one uniform magnifying area.

No instructions supplied as to how and where batteries to be inserted although fairly obvious where they go but not so obvious as to gaining access to battery compartment without possibly breaking something. Pull out stand very stiff and feels as if will break at the furthest point where it locks into position. However once acquainted with the above points it is a very nice magnifying glass (or plastic) and the LED's do a good job for my modelling purposes with the neck strap supplied or on its stand. Good for the money.

I find this useful for the few tasks where I need to enlarge very small print, However The lens quality is not particularly good.

Easy to use for close up work that I can’t do with spectacles alone. It’s light and comes with an adjustable neck cord so you can totally hands free if you don’t want to use it freestanding. The lens can be angled and the led light is bright too.

This is a great product for the price. The only downside is that there are no instructions included so you need to look online to find out how and where to put the batteries. The battery cover is very difficult to get open but once this is overcome this is a very useful device.

I bought this item as a last resort at getting something to help my eyesight when doing cross stitch. I had previously bought one of the clip on a stand/table which was absolutely hopeless, too stiff & distorted the vision within the sight field. This one is a dream!!! I was very hesitant about the purchase as a lot of the reviews complained about the finding the battery compartment. No problems! Although I have to state I do not use the integral light as I work with a separate light. Giving it merit as a magnifier - I can’t fault it.
