Editor's Notes

March 25, 2019:

Magnifying tools can be used for a variety of tasks. If you are a hobbyists who regularly solders electronic components, builds models, or performs any other intricate task and needs your hands free, we have included a variety of options for you. Those who prefer their magnification tool clamp firmly to a table, so they never have to worry about it falling over, should take a look at the Brightech LightView Pro and Ivation IVA-LM2XSTND, both of which have integrated lights. The Amazlab DL4W sits on any flat surface, so you can easily pick it up and move it. The Fancii FC-MGHH35U and Flexzion 3rd Hand essentially provide you with an extra hand, since they have clips to hold an item while you work on it. The Glam Hobby Head Mount and SE MH1047L are great for people who feel like a surface-mounted option is too much of a hassle. While many of the options on our list could act as reading aids for anyone with a visual impairment, the Eyoyo 5.0 and RockDaMic Handheld are best suited to this kind of task. The conveniently-portable Yosoo Mini is ideal for inspecting any kind of flat item, from fabric to stamps.

A wandering writer who spends as much time on the road as in front of a laptop screen, Brett can either be found hacking away furiously at the keyboard or, perhaps, enjoying a whiskey and coke on some exotic beach, sometimes both simultaneously, usually with a four-legged companion by his side. He has been a professional chef, a dog trainer, and a travel correspondent for a well-known Southeast Asian guidebook. He also holds a business degree and has spent more time than he cares to admit in boring office jobs. He has an odd obsession for playing with the latest gadgets and working on motorcycles and old Jeeps. His expertise, honed over years of experience, is in the areas of computers, electronics, travel gear, pet products, and kitchen, office and automotive equipment.
