This headband illuminated magnifier seems very well made for home and small business use.

The headband is made of plastic and the inner surface that goes against your head is very smooth. It seems very comfortable. I suppose if wearing it for a long period in a warm or hot environment it is possible you may sweat a bit on the forehead underneath the band. But that is just speculation. At normal room temperature it seems very comfortable.

It is highly adjustable. To adjust overall headband fit I suggest pressing and holding down the release button, loosening the band, putting it around your head, pulling the band tighter until comfortable, and letting go of the release button. Probably takes half the time it took to read that sentence.

Hobby Magnifier SE MZ101B Helping Hand Magnifier

  • Holds Item Securely (Leaving Hands Free) with 2 Alligator Clips on 4-Way Swivels
  • Built-In Magnifying Glass (4x) Aids in Minute Detail Work
  • Heavy-Duty Base for Stability
 
I bought this for use with some hobby electronics soldering. After reading the reviews I figured I knew what to expect and for a little over $6 shipped (gotta love Amazon Prime) I took the leap. Some people complained that it was not assembled and came without instructions. Mine was ready to go and completely assembled out of the box. Others complained that the magnifying glass rattled around with the parts and was scratched. Mine was wrapped in plastic and cardboard and as I said earlier, it was completely assembled. Others complained that it is "tippy", and I fully intended to mount it to a board and make a little portable soldering station. I don't find it "tippy" or uneven at all. For what I will use it for it is perfect. It totally exceeded my expectations given the reviews. I hope everyone else who orders this has the same experience I had. Maybe I'm lucky, and I'm sure there is some validity to the other reviewers complaints, but this is exactly what I had hoped for.

Helping Hand Magnifier with LED Light

Helping Hand Magnifier with LED Light


Helping Hand Magnifier with LED Light

This thing takes a little getting used to. First, you have to crank down hard on the wing nuts to keep everything at the angle you put it at. Second, and this is the main bad point, the light sucks. It's not that bright, and the wire in it was bad straight out of the box. If you have a second light source, use that. Don't even try to use the light on here as a primary light source, or you're setting yourself up for failiure.

Jeweler's Hobby Magnifier

Jeweler's Hobby Magnifier





Jeweler's Hobby Magnifier
  • Easy-to-wear magnified visor for watch, jewelry repair, arts & crafts or as general reading aid
  • 3 lenses: 1.5x fixed, 1.5x flip-down & 3.5x monocle; all 3 = 10.5x, enlarge to 1050% original size
  • 2 super-bright 15,000mcd aim-able LED illuminate viewing area, light for 40 hrs on 2 AAA (not incl)
  • Quick-adjust headband with ratchet mechanism - just turn knob to tighten/loosen while wearing
  • Multiple-coated acrylic lenses, scratch resistant & reduce weight - visor weighs just 8 oz

Jeweler's Hobby Magnifier

This ("Jeweler's lighted high-power magnifier visor") was my third attempt to find a satisfactory magnifier visor. My first purchase, a sugeon's model, worked well but lacked adjustable magnification and had no light. The second was far worse. While it had essentially the same features as the Jeweler's, it fell to pieces after only minutes (literally) of nothing more strenuous than being perched on my forehead. The lenses were similarly problematic, offering poor focus, especially on the periphery and when used in combinations. The 2 led lights, attached one to each temple area of the visor, were simply awful. Lacking adjustment. The provide illumination to the left and right of the object of your attention, and even then are rather dim. This is, I must add, when they are functioning, since on several occasions the battery case covers spontaneously liberated themselves and their battery friends onto my floor.

Jeweler's Hobby Magnifier

This model, in contrast, is (mostly) of a solid build, with higher quality plastic used in the lenses which work well alone and combination, and resist periphery distortion. The led lights are really quite good; bright and adjustable in both pan and tilt. The only immediate problem is the swivel monocle, which while clear and strong, came loose of it's perch as flopped haplessly, enslaved to gravity. A philips screwdriver fixed the symptoms but the problem is a particularly cheap design for this lens' swivel mechanism; it promises ongoing inconvenience.

Yet this is a minor quibble. For the money, this is far and away the best choice I've found.

How To Read Smd Resistor Code

How To Read Smd Resistor Code


Smd stand for exterior mount gadget and if you fix Lcd monitors, you would come across lots of Smd components. Crt monitors rarely use Smd thus it is quite easy to find out the components value. In this article, I'm going to talks about Smd resistor code and how you could reason the values. This Smd resistor codes is different from the normal resistor color code (color bands) you had seen in the electronic circuit boards. exterior mount resistors is very much smaller in size than the normal carbon film resistor and because of this the numbers and letters were stamped upon or printed on the top side of the component.

Those numbers and letters have a meaning and you could use that as facts to find out or reason the desire resistance values. Sometimes the resistors are designed in a very small size until we have mystery to read the code. By using a magnifier glass we could certainly read the resistor codes.
There are two types of exterior mount resistors used in an electronic circuit board-the 3-digit and 4-digit code Smd. The first two digits narrate the two digits in the answer. The third digit represents the estimate of zero's you must place after the two digits. The reply will be in Ohms. For example: 104 which mean 10 0000 (4 zero's) and the final reply is 100k. Let's reason the 4 digit Smd, 1182 which mean 118 00 (2 zero's) and the final reply is 11.8k.

3 Digit Example 4 Digit Example 

0R1=0.1 Ohm 0000= 0 ohms= link or jumper R33=0.33 Ohm 00R1=0.1 Ohm 8R2= 8.2 Ohm 0R47=0.47 Ohm 220 is 22 Ohm and not 220 ohms 1R00=1 Ohm 331= 330 Ohms 1000= 100 Ohm 473=47000 or 47k 8202= 82000=82k

Measuring exterior mount resistors is very easy with the help of digital multimeter. Most of the times when you check directly on the Smd resistors, you would get the right reading even without lifting a resistor lead. But not all digital multimeter can accomplish this kind of test. pick only the one that has the output voltage (measure at the probes) of less than 0.6 volts so that it won't trigger any semiconductor devices that can give you a false reading. Once you know how to reason the Smd resistor code and using the right way to test Smd resistors on board , you could check lots of Smd resistors in the shortest time.
