Anyone have any suggestions on a good headband magnifier with some kind of light?

My old ass cant see, well, almost anything anymore. I use a loupe quite a bit but some times I need to have both hands available.

Ingoc, save the 'trying to find your penis' jokes. :lol:

I recently got tired of always having to find my cheater glasses at work so I bought some of these. I normally go with 1.25x for readers but I went to 1.5x for work because of all the super small writing on tools, wires, etc. Doesn't solve the low light issues though.

Why not go to the eye Dr, and have them make some bifocals to your prescription and tell them you want like 5x magnification.

I'd like something that I can change the magnification and have a light. If possible.

Yeah that one you posted looks like something I could use as well.  :yes:

Meh wife recently ordered a new battery for her smart watch and asked me to install it.
There were a few VERY small screws that were very hard to see, even with reading glasses, and I found I also had trouble holding a small LED penlight and trying to work with both hands.

Solving that problem for $30 seems like a good idea!  :htu:

Look for a Jewelers headband. Not Machinist.

The only way your penis will look bigger is if ST is wearing the Headband. :)

Even then you will have to let her know when it is in. ;D
