Nice and handy small unit of magnifying glass. Love having a little light with it. I bought 3 of them. One of them I use here and there at work as I have a harder time to see sutures to remove them (I’m an RN) and it is too hard to use my phones camera to help to magnify it and ask the patient to help to hold it and hard to disinfect the phone all the time. It is much easier to just wipe down the magnifying unit

It is tasteful looking, a good size, magnifies well, and the light is great...even the silver carabiner is a classy choice of colors. My only problem is with the packaging. The top packaging is not sealed, so the magnifier and instructions were jostled around in shipping and the lens needed to be wiped. On the bright side, this gave me an opportunity to test the product out ahead of time before I adjusted everything and taped the package closed.

Great lighted magnifier. I use this a lot when I'm building PC's. My old eyes like being able to read the fine print on label's and motherboards. I took the carabiner off and just put it in my pocket. It's not any bulkier than a pack of gum, and weighs about the same as a roll of breath mints from my point of view.

While these are pretty good to have on you for a quick magnification of tiny print. I found it was a bit bigger than I wanted to have on my key chain. Its bigger(width not thickness) than the remote key fob for my '19 RAM truck. It is a good size for the reason you need it. I just toss it in my pocket when I head to the store for those few times I need to read small print. My wife uses the second OttLite and has it clipped to her purse.
The built in light that comes on when opened is also a nice touch.

Love it! It is not a bother to put on one's key ring. So handy to have when out and about. Especially when reading the small print that has fonts that are not only small, but are utilized in a soft blue colour on a soft coloured background... on small containers. So when shopping one is now able to actually see what the manufacturer has provided as information in an almost non-descript display. Great little gadget!

Great little magnifier, everything is nice except that the spring that tensions the lock broke, otherwise comes in very handy.

I've been looking for something like this for a while. Since age cause your vision to deteriorate, this is a genius idea especially reading small fine prints. In addition, it has a flash light feature that helps see clearly.

Well made, with a bright light and a good magnifier. The whole thing is a bit large -- slightly over three inches long and an inch and a half wide -- but it's not very heavy. The size initially put me off but after I started using it I got to like it -- particularly the brightness of the light.

This pocket magnifier is handy to have. It's compact size makes it easy to put in a pocket, purse or backpack. The light is plenty bright enough to amply illuminate whatever you want to look at with the magnifier. I'm pleased with this device, and have purchased one for my wife and daughter as well.

Works great. I sometimes try to use it without the light because the light is extremely bright. Although I'm not sure of the magnification, it seems to be between 7 and 10. Definitely worth the price. Not sure if the magnifier will scatch putting it into and taking it out of the cover.

My fiance and I love these magnifier so much that we actually own three of them they work fantastic with the LED light and just enough magnification to help you focus on tiny things and the battery has lasted so it has not died yet or needed to be replaced and we frequently use them

This magnifier is little, but mighty. It has come in very handy for reading labels while grocery shopping. I pulled it out when visiting my parents last year and they liked it so much that I got them each one as part of their Christmas presents. My father is legally blind and this has helped him immensely.

I've gotten several OttLite products over that last year and have been happy with them, so I thought this might be a good product. I can see where it could come in handy, but I was disappointed in it when I first tried it as the magnifier seems like it's made of cheap plastic, and it was difficult to see through. After cleaning it, though, it was much better. The bigger problem is there is a light that goes on upon swinging the magnifier out to use. Unfortunately, the light shines both ways - not only onto the object you want to enlarge and see better, but into your eye as well. So, given this is a bit bulky - and irritating (to the eye) to use, I may only use this when I need a magnifier around the house, and can't find a better one. Oh yeah, this requires TWO lithium batteries, too, which seems excessive. They came with the device, but it would be irritating and pricey to replace them.
