{"product_id":"helping-hands-magnifier-led","title":"Helping Hands with Magnifier and LED","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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 were going to need both anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is on it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlexible arms with crocodile clips, a weighted base, and a magnifier head carrying \u003cstrong\u003e3.5x over the main lens and 12x in a small inset\u003c\/strong\u003e. The LED ring runs off batteries in the head, so there is no mains lead tangling with the arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe part that matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it stops\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lens is acrylic, not glass. It is light, which is why the arm holds position, and it scratches if you wipe grit across it - a soft cloth, not a paper towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA magnifier is not a microscope. For inspecting a chip marking you want a loupe or a scope, and we sell the loupe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBatteries are not included, and we would rather tell you now than have you open the box on a Sunday evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich one to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you already have good bench lighting and reading glasses that work, take the plain version and save ten dollars. If you are squinting, take this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree, tracked, about a week to the United States and to Australia. 30-day returns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARVONELLE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47512650678463,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/5826\/3743\/files\/S382f667bf91246e6a1f6b335f9da73a1t.webp?v=1789871426","url":"https:\/\/arvonelle.com\/products\/helping-hands-magnifier-led","provider":"ARVONELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
