Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Donegan OptiVISOR LX Binocular Magnifier-Lensplate #4 Magnifies 2X At 10" Focal Length
Customer Review: They don't make them like they used to
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been using OptiVisors for over 20 years, and I do remember when they were a quality product. The visor is secured to the adjustable head band by two plastic nuts on either side on the band. Unfortunately, one of those two nuts was defective and frequently fell out, causing the visor to slip down and hit my nose. I finally went to the local hardware store and found a couple of plastic pieces, which are now keeping it in place. The lenses, which are a very high quality, are held in place with plastic pins with a knob on the end.) The plastic didn't held the lens in place, so I did replace the plastic dowels with a couple of small nuts and bolts. Now the OptiVisor functions perfectly.
Do I recommend this product? Yes. The quality of the lens is superb. If you buy it and have the problems with it that I have, know you can get the fix-it parts at your local hardware store.
Customer Review: Great Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned my Optivisor for 5+ years and this has been a wonderful, quality tool. I have not experienced any failing plastic hinges that have been mentioned on this site. For anyone in their 40's/50's or who work with intricate parts, this item is the cats meow. My review is unsolicited and truthful.
