illuminated 10X magnifying inspection loupe with integrated 'graduated' scale (handheld magnifier with light). Made in Japan. ENGINEER sl-71

Well made quality piece of kit. The item to be viewed must be at the same distance as the measuring scale on the loupe (i.e. it has to be in contact) to focus clearly, but once you do that, the view is bright and clear. Great for reading faded labels, looking for breaks on circuit boards and inspecting surfaces for defects or blemishes.

Very useful, nice and clear

Exactly what I needed for work. It is of a decent quality and excellent value.

I bought this for cleaning/adjusting the stylus on my turntable. The illumination is very good, but the focus is completely non-adjustable. The focal plane is exactly on the "metal window" on the reverse, which is perfect for a diamond on a table (I imagine...) but not one stuck to a tiny lever beneath an overhanging headshell... Happily, by unscrewing the metal back plate, I can now use it as I intended.

Works really well. Very comfortable with measuring scale.

Great tool

Product offers effective magnification & is easy to use. It feels very light & slightly insubstantial but it works well.arrived in good time.

I like the Engineer brand and have a number of their tools. I am returning it. As mentioned by another reviewer the plastic lens is awful. It’s size is awkward. Those batteries aren’t needed. A single LED rather than a ring. It’s feels cheap in the hand. I was not able to see what I needed to see with this tool. In this instance I’d assume a product of Chinese origin rather than Japanese.

Pazzesco! Proprio quello che cercavo. Adatto a ciò che devo fare. Ha una luce che permette di vedere gli ingrandimenti. Spedizione veloce

This unit is a value foir money option for surface preparation of steel. The 10X magnification makes viewing the Profile Comparator very easy.

The magnification is good, marking for measurement is legible. To clarify other reviews: 1. The second lens is intentionally made of plastic for less scratching. The main lens (glass) is perfect. No eye strain when using it yet the magnification is crystal clear. 2. The build quality is actually good. It is plastic, yes, but it makes the item less heavy. Also, maybe others are feeling it without the battery that makes it too light, thus, feeling cheap. But when batteries are in, the additional weight makes it feel more solid. Highly recommended.

Eine sehr gute Alternative zu Geräten, die das vielfache kosten. Vielen Dank

If your a car mechanic then these really work great. Look at the tip of any spark plug using this and you can read what is going on in the combustion chamber, check piston rings, crank bearings and a slew of other parts. The quality is great compared to other crap outer there these days.
