Customer Reviews of Standing Lighted Magnifier
Customer Review: One of my specialties is rare books and detecting forgeries in and of first editions or "so-called" first editions ...
Summary: 5 Stars
You don't have to use the stand but for me that's the whole point of the item. So many magnifiers leave you unable to do fine knitting, sewing or woodworking because your hands just aren't free. Even reading a book becomes a chore if you have to use both hands to keep the book from flopping closed in your lap, and yet using a magnifying glass with your teeth is not practical. This stand answers the needs of many a busy man or woman. For you could poke the magnifier into a nearby shelf and position your work underneath it, but this stand obviates the need for that.
You can magnify your material so it looks as though it's twice the real size, and there's a spot to double that size too for fine calibrations. I gave one to an old friend who makes tin soldiers out of old fishing lures, and it's incredibly detailed work which he pursues with a specially built little soldering iron. It's a tool so tiny that if he sets it down on the arm of a sofa it gets lost in the slipcover, except for its heat. This lighted spot, he says, allows him to make three times as many toy soldiers in one session than ever before, even when he was younger and nimbler in the fingers.
For those of you who just want to focus a bright spot light on a hard-to-see object like a will, this might be the answer. One of my specialties is rare books and detecting forgeries in and of first editions (or "so-called" first editions), and recently I pulled my MagniLamo over to my library table, where a first edition of one of Yeats' Cuala Press broadsides was lying. Concentrating all of its power on the spot where Yeats was supposed to have signed the work, I could see right away it was a rubber stamp or ballpoint reproduction of Yeats' signature -- not a bad forgery, all things considered, and one that might have cost me plenty.
Customer Review: The lens is clear and the quality is good for the price.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very practical magnifier. I purchased it for use in building models; for painting the smaller components. The lens is clear and the quality is good for the price.
Cons: I think the arm should be longer as it tends to get in the way sometimes.
All in all, for the price, I would definitely recommend this magnifier.
