ToyoProfessional 10X Magnifying Jeweler's Loupe with 18mm Triplet Lens, Chrome

This is a fantastic loupe. Build quality is amazing. Solid, rugged, and crystal clear. The size is awesome and using it is extremely easy and comfortable. As long as the lighting is right around you, it’s very bright and easy to use. Great value for the money. You can easily verify authentic Rolex crystals with it even by looking for the crown at 6 o clock! See the faint outline of the logo in my image, this was taken holding my phone lens close up using the loupe.

I paid about $13 for this loupe. I like the fact that it is a peened over roll pin instead of screws that are always coming loose.

I think this loupe is outstanding. Image color is good and the field of focus is quite flat. The magnified image is sharp and clear. The plated metal housing is sturdy and the pivot is appropriately stiff. The lens housing is textured and offers a solid grip. There is a lanyard loop if you wish to carry the loupe that way. My only negative is the little vinyl case that it comes in. The snap on mine was so stiff that I could not get it unsnapped. I even tried prying it apart with a screwdriver. I eventually had to cut it open, which (of course) destroyed it, but no big loss, as I would rather wear it on a lanyard than carry it in my pocket.

I use it all the time at work, I like the rubberized frame, I work with hydraulic components so my gloves are often slick, real glass vs Hyd oil holds up well.

Good quality.

Bought it to check out a few stones, not as solid as I'd expect, but still pretty good.

It's worth the 13 bucks. The little case it came with was very hard to unsnap and very cheaply put together but I didn't even know it came with a case so no loss there. It will serve its intented purpose.

It's a loop magnifier. What can I say. It good if you need one
