Hand Magnifier

[ASBOB]

I'm looking for a good hand magnifier with built in light so I can check blade edges.

The two I'm considering:

Lee Valley Lighted Loupe

or this one:

or the Reizen:

http://www.bernell.com/product/3189/221


Within this range, price is not an issue.

I'm leaning towards the second or third. Any thoughts? Anybody heard of, let alone used any of these brands?


My thanks.

I have one like the middle one only not as powerful. It works nice. DM

Might want to look at this thread:

Review - Magnifiers/Microscopes for examining edges

All the ones I looked at were very inexpensive.

Hope that helps.

I have the Lee Valley lighted loupe and have been happy with it.
