Desk magnifier

Anyone got a big magnifier with light similar type to this ?

11W Folding Desk Magnifying Lamp 5&8 Dioptre Magnification Magnifier Reading

Bit reluctant to buy without either seeing or a recommendation

For other things I do but think it may help with Loler and the ever decreasing numbers on carabiners

I've got something similar. An angle poise lamp with magnifier. It's very useful for lots of stuff. Not sure what wattage though.

I bought a cheapy off ebay for about £25, I clamp it to the bench and use it for messing with chainsaw carbs. Brilliant bit of kit, wouldn`t be without it.

Wouldn't be without mine. I think it is a jewellers lamp. Stays by my bedside but I use it in the shed for doing Loler stuff.

I have one that I bought for tying trout flies but it doubles for reading the microscopic laser etching in biners.

 

Got mine from here

Daylight Floor Table Led Magnificent Lamp | Hobbycraft

This is their current offering, I could get it cheaper on ebay but I don't like tat so I wanted to see it first. Mine is 2 years old and flawless

We got one from Machine Mart for my wife to use. We've had it years and put a couple of bulbs in it over that time. It has a cover to slide over the magnifier so it can be used as a light. It's still about the same price £20.39 so not going to bankrupt you.

Got one similar from an electronics shop a year or two back..

Use mine to help remove the occasional splinter..
