VEEMAGNI 5 Inch Large Magnifying Glass with Light and Stand, 5 Color Modes Stepless Dimmable, 2*16 Inch Swivel Arm LED Clamp Desk Lamp, Hands Free 8X Lighted Magnifier for Close Work Crafts Soldering

The magnifying glass is clear enough for typical uses. The arm moves easily. The controls are easy to reach and use. It clamped well to my desk. I do wish the clamp would be a bit heavier gauge metal, but it is good enough.The adjustable light hues are very useful. I didn't think I'd use them, but I do. The brightness settings are helpful to me as well.

The multiple angles, nice bright light and the magnification are perfect. I fixed a tangled anklet chain. This made it so easy to see what I was doing. I bought it for making bracelets but can see it will come in handy for many things.

I was hesitant to buy this as it had a lot of reviews from people who got it for free since that adds personal bias. With free return in mind, I gave it a shot and I am glad I did.So far, I have replaced batteries on 3 Movado watches. The jewelry shop used to charge me $35 each. I have already recovered my investment by doing it myself. There was no way I could work on these watches without this glass.The glass works really well, and the light feature is icing on the cake. The maneuvering of arms and glass are flawless. Both sides of the clamp have no-mar material to avoid any scratches when securing the base.The shipment was quick, product came well packaged, overall quality seems sturdy.I am happy with the product so far and will update review for longevity.

Pros:- Bright- Adjustable hue- The controls are very conveniently located next to the lens and not the wire- A sturdy clamp, big enough to mount properly- The lamp is big enough to have a convenient reach.- Doesn't get hot at all.Cons:- Really can't think of any, and it's especially cool considering what a trainwreck the smaller version of this lamp is.

I'm so pleased with this. I do detail art pottery and had been wearing a headset magnifier with light, but I was so tired of the nose piece, the weight on my head and taking it on and off constantly. Now I just aim the magnifier as I want, and I feel I have more freedom. I only use the light on the brightest setting and that's good for my work. It has real glass in the magnifier and I'm very pleased with the vision quality and magnification strength. I'm fortunate to have a pull out work surface on the side of my desk and it clamps on there perfectly. I'd have trouble otherwise as there's only an inch overhang on my desk and that wouldn't be enough to clamp onto. The length it can extend to is excellent.
