Magnifying glass with led lighting

If I am to interface cards, leds and soldering all kinds of I note that it is not easy and tiresome to make everything easy to see. Those things are usually very small and the errors or mistakes when connecting or soldering are quickly made.

At DealExtreme I got me a magnifying glass purchased with led lights (product number SKU 10066 – 13 Euro). You can that thing on your head, and is easy to fit. Furthermore, there are several glasses with different strengths that can be replaced.

On the front cover there is a switch to turn the led on and off.

All in all, a pretty handy tool that you can't miss.
