Head mount magnifier

Having problems checking your wraps?
Are your eyes getting tired while doing a weave?

Pick up a head mounted magnifier, so that - wherever you look, you will be able to see with a XX magnification.

This is one of my favorite style magnifiers, because you can always look over the top of the magnifiers for normal vision. Also, the magnifiers are very light and you tend to lose track of the fact that you are actually wearing a magnifier.


--
I have used magnified lights. I have used bench mounted magnifiers, but all of these tend to get in my way at the least opportune moment.
The magnifier listed above never gets in your way, because it is "nailed" to your head - so to speak.
Take care
Roger

Before buying one of the types that offer different magnifications, go to a drug store and try on their reading glasses to determine which power you want. Actually the reading glasses do a nice job, cost less than $10, but do not have lights. I have both but have found I use the glasses more than the head mounted bigger unit.
