Looking for a hobbyist magnifying glasses with a light to work on stuff like guns etc. I am sure Amazon has a China boat load. Would like USA branded and suggestions.
Thanks!

I would go to 1965.com and see what’s left in stock.
Just being a smart-a-**. I hope you find one, Sakoluvr.

I have one of those bench lights with a 5" magnifying glass and a round fluorescent light but don't remember where I got it. Amazon has some that look similar but mines bigger.

I just use the camera and flashlight on my phone.. . I do this for those simple as needed time things. I haven't tried the magnifying glasses with lights that you wear. However, getting one of those LED lights with built-in magnifier was something I wish I had done decades earlier. I first came across them when my wife asked for one for her sewing and quilting. Naturally, I went to JoAnn fabrics and got her one. It is an OttLite brand. Here is the link: https://www.joann.com/ottlite-2-in-1-led-magnifier-floor-and-table-lamp/12398111.htmlLater, after seeing how useful it was, I vowed to get one for my shop and for my mancave. I did so and they have been invaluable. If you don't feel manly enough to shop at JoAnn, I discovered that Home Depot also carries them. Here's the link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/OttLite...k-Floor-and-Table-Light-438PN9/301608606Heck, if you never use the magnifier, the adjustable LED light is super useful.

Good stuff. I like the versatility of the visor styles.

I bought several on Amazon and returned them all... junk, albeit all under $100.
I asked my dental hygienist what she uses because she uses them continually all day. It turned out to be made by a company in Reno, but the loupes were $1000 to $2500 and the LED add-ons are around $600 more so it ends up costing a few thousand. Lumadent. Another good one to check out is Orascoptic.
I couldn't justify the expense for my needs so I just use some 3X reading glasses and a 10X handheld loupe when I need it.
