The lenses are plastic so don't expect Swarovski clarity, but for the money it works great.Product Review: A very useful and nicely made tool for its price.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this particular item, to use when I am doing very close up work on several hobbies of mine. My first,"choice of use", for this magnifier was to use when I am working on the insides of time pieces I repair and restore.
The main lens of this tool is just about perfect in magnification power for each "phase" I may go through as I work on repairing and restoring a watch, and/or, clock. The "main", or "first" lens is ideal for working on any piece, as I disassemble it and may be working with very small screws,rivets and clips and I need to see exactly where my hand tools are being placed each time.
The "secondary" or "next magnifying range lens" up the magnifying scale, very simply and easily flips down and "snaps-solidly" into place and brings my work much, much, closer to me, which is exactly what I need once inside a time piece's very small and intricate internal parts structure. If I am working on something like a very small lady's wristwatch, I can then go even one step higher in magnification and simply swing down the single "eye loop".
I really like the three magnification levels, that this tool provides, all in one unit.Before I purchased this particular tool,it was often required that I "take off, one, magnifying head band and put on another, with higher magnification". Now,I simply have to flip the lenses either up or down, depending on which level I may need at the time.
The "side lights" that are mounted on each side of this magnifier, are also very well aimed,and made so they center both beams of light directly in front of my field of vision. They're more than bright enough, without being "glaring", when shone onto brightly polished metals, and/or, wood surfaces.
The headband, itself, is very comfortable to have on for long periods of time. Often, when working on a large clock, I can have this magnifier on my head for perhaps 3 hours, or even longer, and I've yet to have it get "too heavy or too cumbersome". to wear for that long.
The only reason that I had for not giving this tool a full, five star rating, is I was somewhat disappointed with how, after many times of raising the magnifiers up and down,(when needing them, and then, not needing them as I worked on something), after a very short time, the "pivoting points", or, "hinges", needed to hold this tool in one position became a little "sloppy". Now, after using this tool for only a few weeks, I have to make sure it is raised to a completely vertical position, or it will immediately "flop back down", when I least want/need it to.
However, other than that one small problem, all in all,(and especially for its very affordable price), I would still highly recommend this magnifying head band system to anyone who may be looking for an affordable,comfortable, well thought out, magnifying tool.

I thought I would have more uses for this but after a year i have used it only a few times. Quality is fair, it has helped me remove splinters.Product Review: Beats holding a magnigfying glass by a mile!

Good little product. It's probably not what professionals would choose, but it's a great choice for the hobbyist or DIY'er who is doing detail work.Product Review: Child's Toy
Summary: 2 Stars
To someone like myself I am new to an item like this, but this item's magnification are weak even though I use both pairs of lens (I use the pair of Opti Visor at college at x8 magnification, I like those better - Much better). In Addition, if you wear glasses than they will get in the way of the flip lens. The Flat surfaces that makes contact to the battery's + and - is so thin, a slight bend of it will cause it to snap off.
It is an okay item, but considering any forethought whoever designed it, it is more of a child's toy.
