Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SE Jeweler's Loupe- Double Power 10X & 20 X
Customer Review: 10x-20x maginification lens review
Summary: 4 Stars
Dear Consumer,
This product is a good choice for a very hardy lens. The best things about this product are:
- It comes with a nifty little case, which is very nice for keeping the lens clean and scratch free
- Duel lens provide the best possible magnification for the object being viewed
- very heavy and hard to break. Not that Ive tried, but I know that if I drop it, it wont shatter
Now, the only thing I do not like about this product is the loose folding lenses. The mechanism for the lenses are loose, and the lenses tend to wobble and swing around. This can become a problem, but it tends not to be a problem if you are holding the lens the proper way. However, the lenses stay under the protective surface very well, but wobble when out like during use...
Other than this, I would recommend this for any use for magnification.
I use mine for geologic examination, and will continue to do so until it falls apart on the job. A great little tool.
Customer Review: "Excellent Item For The Money"
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a "professional jeweler", in any way, but I do enjoy collecting, repairing and refurbishing wrist watches. Plus, in our family, we have an untold amount of "every day" time pieces, that are always requiring either a new battery or some sort of repair.
When I saw this particular jeweler's loupe, with the feature of "two rates of magnification in one small unit", I wanted to try it out!
This loupe is VERY WELL MADE. The chrome finish is well done and the lenses are crystal clear and flawlessly finished.
It even came with a plastic, (but fairly heavy duty,for something made of plastic!),snap lid box, which keeps the two magnifiers dust and dirt free.
I would very much, recommend this item to anyone, even a "pro", who may be looking for a quality loupe at a very reasonable price.
I was also very pleased with the vendor and the short time it actually took for me to receive this item.
Customer Review: Cute gadget, FAST delivery but hardly useful
Summary: 2 Stars
Wow, delivered in just a few days. That was unexpected.
I compared the loupe against the little magnifying glass in my Swiss Army knives (Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife and the Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Card). Victorinox delivers HIGHER magnification and a larger & clearer field of view.
I wasted my money on this product but it was a small loss. Do yourself a favor and go knife shopping instead. Unless you like the loupe for it's gadget factor, it is cute. I'll save mine as a gift for someone.
Customer Review: Pleasent surprise
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered a 30x loupe but the company sent this one by mistake. After reading reviews of the 30x (that it's not a true 30x) I decided to keep this one, rather than fool with sending it back. After all, it was cheap.
The loupe works well. The quality of the optical glass is not the greatest, but it's not bad quality, either. I'm just not sure I would consider it "professional" grade, for someone working with high-end jewelery or what have you. For what I use it for (inspecting small electronics), it's just fine.
I was pleasantly surprised at the build quality. It seems durable and well constructed for the price.
Customer Review: Too small, but neat gadget factor
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a number of loupes and magnifiers, and this is better than some but nothing I'd really recommend. It's neat to have the 20x, but the whole thing is so small, I find it more frustrating than useful most of the time.
Unless you really and truly need the dual lens factor, or are buying this as a fun gadget/spare lens, get the BelOMO 10x instead.
This could also be a neat giftie, again for its gadget factor, for someone who has one or more good basic loupes. I'd definitely put it higher on the "nifty looking toy" chart than on the "good lens" one.
