These magnifiers are real handy. It folds up and keeps the glass lens from scratching. $5 at the gun show.

I got me a pair of those $4 cheeters a Kmart to help my "old" eyes AND I have a magnifying glass to look at small things too. It seems like anymore I can't get enough light on the bench either. I like faucettbs setup right next to the window.

Looks OK for $5.00. It takes the use of one hand to hold though! I could superglue binoculars to my eyebrows for less. Both hands are then free.


Driving becomes a problem with that. Stop signs are not as close as they appear!

This getting old sure is fun. If I'd known I'd lived harder and died younger. I've got half a dozen pair of +2 and +3 reading glasses lying around. Picket them up at the dollar store just to have in the shop and loading room.

Cheezy - Can you post a picture of yourself with the occular superglued to your eyebrows? I think you might be a trend setter for us older guys. :)

the jointed lamp i have clamped to my bench has a huge magnifying glass right in it.... i use it quite often.. especially the last couple of years.........

I have several pocket magnifiers.but the one that I rely on is a fairly large,6x4 inch magnifier on a stand,and is illuminated.,and adjustable.
I've had it so long that I could'nt get along without it.
