Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SE Jeweler's Loupe- Double Power 10X & 20 X
Customer Review: Good product!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are very useful for a novice coin collector! For the price they are offered I would recommend them for anyone who needs a closer look at something!Customer Review: Got my eye on it
Summary: 4 Stars
It is metal with glass lens and great for simple usage. If you are a professional, I don't recommend this because I can see a "wavey" image. But for $3 and free ship.... Can't beat that.Customer Review: Great Lens
Summary: 4 Stars
Very happy with the clarity of both lenses. I use them often (mostly 10x) while out and find them both useful. I do wish the swing hinge was a little stiffer but that is the only - and a very minor - complaint. Great value for the price.Customer Review: Great Loupe
Summary: 5 Stars
This loupe offers a 10x and 20x magnification. It has worked great for my needs and comes in very handy. The folding feature keeps the lens clean and safe while not in use.Customer Review: Great Performance for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I received mine in excellent shape -- no scratches whatsoever on the glass as one reviewer found. The size of the 10x loupe is stated to be 18mm, but the glass is 15mm or a little under 5/8 inch. The size of the 20x loupe is smaller (for looking at smaller things) and is actually sightly over the stated 12mm diameter or about 1/2 inch. This size is more than adequate for looking at, for example, diamonds, but may not be big enough for geological purposes.
As far as the optical quality, I found nothing to complain about. The mechanical build quality is more than I expected for the price. If you want a bigger, more powerful loupe with a built-in LED light, even including a spare battery, you might consider the SE 30X Illuminated Jewelers Loupe. It has a plastic housing for the lens, but the illuminator works well, and the optics diameter is 7/8 inch, or about 22mm, which is more than twice the area of the larger loupe on this model. The price is a staggering $4.15.
Face it, these things are essentially free, assuming you take the free-shipping option. And you can look this gift horse in the mouth and come away smiling.
