Value Collection 19702 Loupe 5x Magnification 1 Inch Lens

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 19702 is a handheld loupe magnifier with 5x magnification and a 1 inch diameter glass lens set in a plastic frame. The lens delivers a 2 inch focal length, making it suited for close inspection work on small parts, fine print, circuit boards, threaded fittings, and similar detail tasks. The compact form factor and folding-free fixed design keep the lens ready for immediate use in the field or on the bench. At 0.03 pounds, the 19702 adds virtually no weight to a tool bag or shirt pocket. Trade professionals who need a quick visual reference during inspections or installations will find this a practical, lightweight option.

This loupe is used in shop, field, and inspection environments where a low-profile magnifier is needed to examine small components or fine markings without requiring a power source or additional lighting. Typical applications include reading fine stamping on fittings and valves, inspecting solder joints, checking label markings on capacitors or wiring terminals, and reviewing small-scale diagrams. No light source is included, so ambient or supplemental task lighting is recommended for best results.
