Loupes

[JakeL]

Curious what you all use for loupes?

We currently use these: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/06545057?cid=ppc-google-&mkwid=%7Cdc&pcrid=&rd=k&product_id=06545057&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAx_GqBhBQEiwAlDNAZhN8vn5QlMqCL5am5NxpZdD68lb8MfxUxFG4tOaLt7FtdrYKEkdllhoC1LUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Just started looking into ordering a loupe with a built in light. Anyone use one like that?

Not necessarily a loupe, however I've had one of these and they are awesome. Tons of light and a nice big lense. They come in a few different magnification diopters if you search 'magnifying lamp' on their site.

I got one of these from Amazon. It's advertised as 30x but it's actually 10x. Batteries lasted about a year.
Just remember when shutting the light off that it cycles from light to UV to off.

This is what we went with, they're pretty nice. Curious how long the battery will last.

Got 2 for now, as long as there's no complaints we'll be getting more.

I always preferred a cheap USB microscope, that way you can save the image. My eyes are still pretty good for tool inspection, but for super critical deburr I like the 20 dollar microscopes.
