Update: paid $15 for that cheap jeweler's loupe on Amazon and honestly it beats my bench scope for quick checks
I figured it would be junk for the price but the magnification is clean enough that I now grab it before my big scope for sensor and screw inspections. Anyone else found a cheap tool that turned out to be the real deal?
Wait, which model did you get exactly? Been looking at those little loupes on there and the reviews are all over the place, some say the lens is cloudy, some say it's sharp. What magnification did you go with, the 30x or the 40x? And does it hold up when you're checking tiny stuff like solder joints or is it mostly good for bigger things like screws and sensors? Curious how it handles glare too, since cheap glass usually fights you on that.
