Tools and Hardware Reviews of SE 3pcs Jewelers Eye Loupe 10x 30x Loupes + Dual 10X-20X
Customer Review: Jewelers Loupes
Summary: 4 Stars
Arrived quickly. All work well, though the magnification power written on each loupe seems to be meaningless (the 10x loupe and the 30x loupe seem to be identical). For the price, I'm very satisfied and I'm sure I'll use them for years to come.Customer Review: Jewelry Loops
Summary: 5 Stars
Great purchase. It allow me to be very knowledgeable when purchasing diamond jewelry and reviewing the details of fine jewelry.Customer Review: Love them but beware the 30x
Summary: 4 Stars
I got these to help me read the numbers off circuit boards when trying to figure out what computer part it is by numbers. They work well but beware they say approximately 30x on the 30x loupe and it more approximately 22x.Customer Review: Magnification is nowhere near the stated
Summary: 2 Stars
For the supposedly 30X piece, the magnification is more like 3X, which is somewhat useless for me (good as a toy). I'm very disappointed; but since the price is so low it is not worth the time, money, and hassle to return them.Customer Review: Mismarked items are still worth the price paid
Summary: 4 Stars
To be totally honest, this set of loupes is pretty cheap in build quality and feel but the price is right and they really are not half bad.
The optics could be better but you'd need to pay more. The edges of the metal are not polished and have a sharp feel to them but are not actually *knife* sharp so don't worry. Still, they could have had a better finish to the edges.
They do have a solid feel to them and the loupe side is not loose in the holder side so it stays closed just fine. The plastic cases are reasonable for the price and are a convenient place to keep them so they stay clean. The lenses are held in place by a screw down nut so they won't be going anywhere and if they loosen up, you can just tighten it a bit.
The one major complaint is that the 30x loupe is completely mismarked. It's another mislabeled and incorrectly boxed 10x. You merely need to look through the 10x and the 20x to see right away it's clearly not a 30x magnifier. At least you get the dual 10x/20x combo that makes up for it in a way.
All in all, you can't really complain about the minuses when the cost is so low. The 10x/20x combo is worth the $8 alone. Still, the seller should make a note of the mislabeled 30x loupes and change their listing immediately.
4 stars for the cost to use ratio. 1 lost star for the incorrectly labeled item.
