The Basetech magnifying glass model 2266930 is a handheld loupe offering two magnification options in a compact design.

The tool is lightweight and portable, intended to improve visibility when reading small print or examining small components in hobbies, crafts, electronics and jewellery work.

Advantages

How to use

Hold the loupe steady at a comfortable distance from the eye and position the object within the lens focal range.
