2 out of 5 stars 5X MAGNIFYING GLASS   June 26, 2009
Jerrold P. Sperling
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I THOUGHT BUYING A 5X MAGNIFYING GLASS WAS BETTER IDEA THAN BUYING A 2X OR A 3X GLASS. I WAS WRONG. THE 5X, AT LEAST THIS ONE DOES NOT WORK AS WELL AS A 2X OR 3X. YOU HAVE TO GET ALOT CLOSER TO THE SUBJECT FOR ANY CLARITY AND THE CLOSER YOU GET THE LESS MAGNIFICATION YOU GET. PS, THE 2X AND 3X ENDS-UP GIVING YOU MORE MAGNIFICATION WITH CLARITY. I TOSSED MY 5X INTO THE GARBAGE. THAT'S HOW USELESS IT WAS. NOT WORTH RETURNING.


1 out of 5 stars DANGER, SHARP EDGES... DO NOT BUY FOR CHILDREN!!!   June 25, 2009
Richard S. Melton
Nothing like the image. Bought this as part of a deal with jewelers loops. Really bad workmanship. Real Glass lense but scratched in all three magnifiers,
not worth 1cent. Plastic frame and unfinished sheet metal for the jewelers loop had such sharp edges on it I cut my thumb trying to open one of them!
I would strongly recomend not purchasing these for yourself or children. Oh and it's not the magnification advertized either. from the set of three I bought...
5X is more like 2x the 10x is right and so is the 20X but the 30x is just a 5x! cheat! foul! lies! badly made rip off!



4 out of 5 stars Works as a vision aid   April 14, 2009
P. R. Foltz (Doylestown, PA USA)
I have an elderly relative who has been having difficulty reading due to ongoing vision loss. This has helped her read labels, bills, RX bottles, etc. It is large enough to be useful, and yet not too heavy.

The handle is rather thin and flimsy - a more ergonomic grip would have earned this aid 5-stars from me.



4 out of 5 stars Great Sale, Good Product   February 1, 2009

The sale was very good. The magnifier does not seem to be 5x, but it is good.


5 out of 5 stars Easy to use   January 6, 2009
janjorjohn (Las Vegas, Nv)
I bought this for my mother who has Macular Deginerastion and has a hard time seeing. This magnifying glass is light weight and has almost no distortion around the edges. Being a 5 power, it is larger than most higher power Magnifiers - all of this makes it very easy for her to use. One of the better little surprises for her!!!!
