everything I wanted June 7, 2010
mattm9y (Michigan USA)
This is a very nice loupe. While I don't have a professional need for one, and therefor no experience with them, this seems to be a very well made product, with a nice metal housing that did not have any dangerously sharp edges,(which I heard on some reviews of different loupes as I did research). The view through it was sharp,and the leds are blindingly bright (if you look directly at them!) and really light up the viewing area. It even had a plastic case. I cannot believe anyone would be disappointed for the money.
 Useful and inexpensive tool May 22, 2010
P. Schmidt (Chicago, Illinois USA)
Older folks or those needing to read very small text or diagrams will appreciate this useful and inexpensive loupe. I was pleased to find that this unit is apparently all-metal...I did not find any part of it that was made of plastic (except maybe the lens; I did not check to see if it was glass or plastic). It produces clearly magnified images, folds neatly away inside its metal housing, and has two bright white LED lamps to illuminate whatever you are trying to view. This last feature is important, because with any magnifier of this type, a common problem is when you get close enough to the viewed object to use it, the loupe and your hand block much if the available light and what you see is dark. This one, however, makes everything bright at the touch if a small switch. The battery compartment unscrews using a small tool that comes with the loupe, or alternately you could use the points of a tweezers, needle nosed pliers, or similar. The battery is a readily available watch/hearing aid type that any hardware store would carry. Amazing to me that a tool of this quality can be had for just a few dollars. I have purchased three more of these now, so I can have one in a desk drawer, in a tool kit, on my work bench, and in my car.
Bargain for the Price March 15, 2010

I purchased this loupe because my regular 5X magnifying glass would not allow me to determine the hallmark on a piece of jewelry. I was not sure if the item was silver or gold. Well, with this illuminated loupe, the hallmark was immediately discernible (it turned out to be gold). I know I will be using this loupe over and over again. And, yes, the illumination makes a big difference in performance. This loupe was a low-cost resolution to my problem. The plastic case is a bonus to storing the loupe.
Nice Loupe for Causal Users February 10, 2010
Richard Wong (Ewing, NJ United States)

This loupe comes with an LED light, is inexpensive and it works. I bought this loupe for examining my knife edge and it work fine and the LED light is especially helpful. Sure, this is not a high quality loupe, its focal point is not perfectly aligned, the LED is off-center, and you sure won't use it to set up your last PhD dissertation experiment. However, at the end of the day, this loupe is functional for causal users and I bought it for $7.50 (free shipping).
Do I love it like this is best thing ever? No, but I certainly don't regret this purchase

The quality seems acceptable. I'm sure there are better loupes out there, but for the price, and the mediocre tasks I use it for, this is just fine. I use it to pull slivers out, look at small details in the shop and various other projects.
The Good
-The magnification does seem to be approximately 20X.
-The 2 LED's really help. At first I didn't give this feature much credit, but now I am glad to have them. They're very bright, and really help to see.
-Comes with a small plastic case to keep it from getting scratched in your drawer or toolbox.
-It comes with a battery.
-This comes with a tool to take off the battery cover to change the battery.
The Bad
-At the maximum of its magnification, the optical quality seems to distort towards the edge. The undistorted portion of the image covers about the center half of the lens.
