Description

The same idea as our plain helping hands, with the two things you reach for next already attached: a lens and a light. If you are working on anything with a 0402 resistor on it, you need both.

3.5x lens with 12x inset

What is on it

Flexible arms with crocodile clips, a weighted base, and a magnifier head carrying 3.5x over the main lens and 12x in a small inset. The LED ring runs off batteries in the head, so there is no wall-power lead tangling with the arms.

Clips holding a circuit board under the lens

The part that matters

The 12x inset is the one people underestimate. At 3.5x you can see a joint. At 12x you can see whether it wetted or just sat there as a ball, which is the difference between a board that works and one you come back to on Sunday.

Weighted base and flexible arms

Good to know

The lens is acrylic, which keeps it light so the arm holds position. Clean it with a soft cloth, not a paper towel. For reading chip markings, pair it with our loupe.

Batteries are not included.

Which one to buy

If you already have good bench lighting, the plain version does the holding for ten dollars less. If you are squinting, take this one.

Delivery

Free and tracked, to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada alike. One to two weeks.

30-day returns from the day it arrives. Return postage is yours, the price of the item comes back in full.

Free tracked shipping on every order to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, with no minimum. A few items ship to a shorter list of countries, and their page says so.

Orders leave within 2 business days. The delivery time for your country is shown under the price of each item. In the United States the Mini Drill Press, the lathes, the XYZ and XYZR micrometer stages and many of the tools ship from US warehouses and arrive in about a week or less. Items shipped from overseas take one to two weeks, a few larger ones two to four. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel is scanned.

30-day returns from the day it arrives, unused and in its packaging. If it arrived damaged or faulty, we pay the return label. If you simply changed your mind, you pay the return postage and get the full price of the item back. Email support@arvonelle.com before sending anything back.

Do I pay tax or duty? In the United States, sales tax is added at checkout where your state charges it, and the total you see is what you pay. For Australia and New Zealand nothing is added at checkout. If a carrier ever asks you for a fee on one of our parcels, don't pay it: email us first and we sort it out.

What if a part breaks? For twelve months, tell us which part and we post a new one free. No return needed.

Can I cancel? Yes, within 24 hours of ordering, no questions asked.

How do I reach you? Write to support@arvonelle.com or use the chat. A real person answers within one business day.
