Ramco Arts Free Hand Magnifier 2.5x

I think it's a great product but my mom for whom it was purchased had a difficult time making it work for her handwork - counted crossstitch. BUT it came on time in perfect condition. I would give it more than three stars except I also found it difficult to stabalize.

I had another magnifier that hung around the neck for many years which I loved. This one is not nearly as good. I generally used the old one for some hand sewing, getting out splinters, and manicuring nails. I have given up attempting to use this one for anything.

No instructions included for the plastic thing that comes with it. What on earth are you supposed to do with that?

Nice big n handy magnifying piece. Already had one, bought one for old friend down the road and he was tickled to death.

I do a lot of close work and my eyes just needed some help. This item comes in handy,and makes my work much easier. Easy to use.
