Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:
As I get older I seem to need more help to read the fine print. This unit is a really cheap way to give me the tool to read the text on electronic components and inspect solder joints.
Cons:
Plastic case and lens are prone to scratching if not careful, hinge may give way at some point and can't be repaired. Small lens has a small focus area which is ok for my use but could impair others.
OtherThoughts:
I may buy a bigger one to complement this one.
Bottomline:
Great value and really useful. Can't go wrong at the price.
Great to keep around the workshop
