AORAEMLED Light Helping Hands Magnifier Station,2.5X 7.5X 10X Magnifying Glass Soldering with Clamp and Alligator Clips Desktop Magnifer Stand for Craft Carving Jewelry

Compared to my old one, I didn't have to drill N screw to my desk! I had a bit of maintenance to my old on that was pretty flimsy. Screws at the joints came out, a spring broke, light bulb burned out.THIS ONE!! Has a Heavy Duty metal clamp (not plastic), the arms (also heavy gauge square tubing) have thumb turns! THIS ONE: Doesn't have the reach I was expecting, but the pluses far outweigh the minus.

Maravillosa

It is usable, but I thought it was going to be bigger. It is hard to work with with the limited space. If your project is bigger, it is useless. It did help me to finish my project and it is useful. Thank you.

The media could not be loaded. When I saw this, I thought it was the best idea ever. Unfortunately, it is not able to function as it is implied it will. To start, no directions for assembly included. Image that identifies the pieces does not give you a lot. The doo-ma-hickeys are incapable of staying in place. The little screw dealios can't be screwed in tight enough to prevent sliding, drooping or spinning. This is terrible and dangerous when you have a hot item in those clamps you are working on. The pieces get in the way of one another. I love the magnifier and lamp, clamps are sturdy too, if only they would stay put. I will dissect it and repurpose useful pieces.

PROSFor the price range this is a very good product for what I need it for, which is painting miniatures. It has a coil on the side that is to put the hot soldering pen for electronics, but for me it can help to hold brushes or other things.LED Light is very good and the magnifying glass along with the 2 smaller auxiliary 5X and 8X glasses are handy.It is AC/DC power enabled, so that's useful if your power outlet is not at close range.SMALL CONS (this is just me being picky, but I like the product)Though the feel of the metal knobs when adjusting and repositioning the metal bars with clamps is not great (you can tell the material and construction is not AAA), you kinda' have to fasten them very hard so they're not loosen easily.Other small drawback is the short AC power cord it's like 2.5 or 3" long, but then again if you have an outlet or power strip close enough it shouldn't be a problemPackaging was a bit damaged, and the quality of the box was very low. Besides, after you put the helping hand all together it doesn't fit in the box so it doesn't encourage you to put it back in the box when you're not using it.For me it does the job just fine, and for the price I paid I'm very happy with the product.

It has helped with micro projects that I had to finish.

Got this to do my Diamond Art. It is perfect. Gives off good lighting.

good for small items
