Re: Low cost Visor Magnifier even lower cost

 

Be vareful of dollar store readers. I bought a 4+ last year and they are ground to 4+ only in the center. A good pair (maybe $5 to $25) are ground all the way across so you can look out of them off center and still see the board with magnification. The center ground ones I bought for $1 I can only see magnified when I look straight through the center only.

"readers" for doing close fine work. I Keep my nominal reader handy and
a second pair I just wear over them for doing SMT work down to 0603.
