Hands Free Chest Rest LED Magnifier - Neck Wear Visual Aid Illuminated Magnifying Glass for Low Vision & Visually Impaired Seniors - Portable - Gifts for Mom, Dad, Grandmother, Women, Men

Es buenísimo, sirve muchísimo cuando tienes una espina enterrada en tus dedos o manos.La Luz es un plus, muy potente.Solo ten mucho cuidado al abrir el compartimentó de las baterías y colocarlas, así durará muchísimo tu lupa.TIP: si no la usas muy seguido, guárdalo sin baterías, me ha funcionado excelente.

I apologize for previous review. I found the batteries enclosed in a wrapper with the instructions. Looking forward to using this with light.

I use this for cross stitching. The lens is strong enough to significantly enhance my ability to see the cloth and pattern. The design works great for hands free sewing. And the LED lights do make seeing things much better. My main complaint is that it goes through the button batteries very quickly. If you’re a marathon user like me, doing a few hours a day, the batteries only last a couple of days before the light is too dim to be effective. I’ve resorted to fastening a rechargeable LED headlamp to the back of it and using that as a light source instead.

Lately, I've bought several magnifying devices to help me get back into my embroidery and cross stich (24 & 32 count), and had to return them - but this one is a KEEPER!It allows me to use my needlework stand and sit up straight to work. At my age, the act of needlework being held in shaky hands and sitting all hunched over was taking all the joy away.Those previous devices were returned because they required the work be kept much too close to my face in order for the focus to be clear. But this one allows the work to be 18-22 inches away from my eyes, maybe even a little more since I use them while wearing reading glasses. Just what I needed.The only drawbacks were unwrapping the neck cord from the magnifier (It was tightly wrapped around the base and I'm a bit fumble fingered these days, something I hope to address by taking up needlework again, so this may be more to do with my old age), getting the two included type CR2016 batteries out of the tape they were sealed in (had to use scissors and then peel them out) and cram them into the device, and that little circle of higher magnification. It wasn't very handy for the distances I will use this..

I bought this magnifying/light for traveling because it is small & lightweight compared to another one I have with a more heavier & bulkier one for home use (that one has a gooseneck which is not as packable as this one with a cord). Truthfully, this one is just as great as my other, more expensive one - but slightly less bright and not rechargeable (so I'll be taking extra batteries on my journey).

LOVE this for reading tiny patterns!This magnifying glass and light is fantastic! Some magnifying glasses make me dizzy. They are larger, but almost blurry. This is exactly what I had hoped for. Not sure if you can tell in the photo, but it helps me see the pattern so much more clearly!!I also love the fact that I do not have to hold it, it sort of sits on my chest wherever I want to set it.The only drawback might be The length of battery powerTo be continued….

Very clear

The magnification is just right for knitters, crocheters and other crafters. It works well without using the light if in a bright enough space and lights up nicely in the evening or when working with dark yarn. It’s also perfectly even in magnification and you have no wavy or less clear sections that I’ve seen with other magnifiers.Fits into a larger purse and packs very well in n a suitcase or under-the-seat size bag on airplanes.Bumped it down to a 4 because it does occasionally fall flat if I move around in my chair. I may try supergluing a small rubber dot or two to each leg that sits against my shirt to see if that helps, but it hasn’t been a huge or constant issue.
