Visor-type hands-free headband magnifier with light, visor-type, lenses 1.5X to 3.5X
Details Four pairs of lenses giving 1.5X, 2X, 2.5X and 3.5X magnification. Traditional 'closed-in' design cuts out distractions and protects the eyes from lathe-work swarf (chips) and shavings, or from the dirt produced when polishing. Simple sturdy (but comfortable) no-frills design. Magnification & working distances: see chart on next tab. Lenses: optical grade acrylic Presentation: lenses housed in a plastic box, everything nicely presented in a large cardboard box. Origin: imported from China by Quicktest Magnifications There's a box of five lenses, each of a different magnification and working distance. You can clip them onto the visor singly or in pairs (add the two magnifications); in addition you can swing down the extra-high-power magnifier. Altogether, this gives you a choice of 30 different magnifications / working distances, like this: Magnification / Combined Magnifications Focal Length / Combined Focal Lengths 1.5x 330mm 2x 250mm 2.5x 200mm 3.5x 142mm Applications 1.5X and 2X (lower magnifications, longer working distances) Crafts: model-painting, hand-stitching, beading, general jewellery-making, fly-tying, crochet, leather stamping.
