Hey thats pretty cool, kind of like a jeweler, but do your eyes have to be the right distance from it when it's on your head?

well..I've never thought about it. I don't even have to wear my glasses when I wear it. If you have a harbor freight near you...at that price,try it out. If it doesn't work for you, I guarantee that someone you know will want it. Iused on of those when I worked on watches...and to illustrate...10,000 watch screws will fit into a thimble.

in the past i have used a clip on mag lens. they clip onto regular glasses and are similar to what "fly Fishermen" use to tie lures with. they are available from the larger sporting goods stores. about 10 to 15 bucks.

Thanks for your replies.

What kind of batteries and bulb does the visor take?  I had bought a strap light thingie from Cabela's and when it worked it was great, it was finding the replacement bulbs  that became the problem.

this particular one uses an LED bulb, and I have never had to replace it. They last a LONG time.

Craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michaels have them I believe.
