I've been using OptiVisors for over 20 years, and I do remember when they were a quality product. The visor is secured to the adjustable head band by two plastic nuts on either side on the band. Unfortunately, one of those two nuts was defective and frequently fell out, causing the visor to slip down and hit my nose. I finally went to the local hardware store and found a couple of plastic pieces, which are now keeping it in place. The lenses, which are a very high quality, are held in place with plastic pins with a knob on the end.) The plastic didn't held the lens in place, so I did replace the plastic dowels with a couple of small nuts and bolts. Now the OptiVisor functions perfectly.

Do I recommend this product? Yes. The quality of the lens is superb. If you buy it and have the problems with it that I have, know you can get the fix-it parts at your local hardware store.

I've owned my Optivisor for 5+ years and this has been a wonderful, quality tool. I have not experienced any failing plastic hinges that have been mentioned on this site. For anyone in their 40's/50's or who work with intricate parts, this item is the cats meow. My review is unsolicited and truthful.

Best Deals for Donegan OptiVISOR LX Binocular Magnifier-Lensplate #4 Magnifies 2X

I purchased this magnifier on the advice of a forum member who, like me, works on vintage transistor radio repair. My background in much larger point to point wired vacuum tube radios is an entirely different visual landscape from a 50's vintage six transistor pocket radio. The entire circuit, the controls and individual components are really small.

This unit was instantly relevant. The unit is sturdy. The headband adjusts easily with the two knobs on each side. The lens clarity is excellent and the level of magnification and focal length ideal for what I need. The 10" focal length is important because I need to be able to see clearly while working on a circuit with tools. Any shorter and the front of the lens would interfere with the work at hand.

This US made unit is robust, comfortable, optically excellent and easy to use.

Honest reviews on Donegan OptiVISOR LX Binocular Magnifier-Lensplate #4 Magnifies 2X

I'm using this mostly for building electronic kits. It makes identifying very small components a breeze. Where I was unable to read the small print it is now very clear. My daughter likes to use this for working on very fine needle work and also just looking at stuff. I wish I had bought one of these years ago.

I used these magnifier lenses and the lenses fell out after using only twice. I call that bad quality. I just glued the lenses back into the frame but shouldn't have to do that.
