Hi,
My eyesight isn't getting any better, even wtih glasses have to squint when trying to read some component markings. Thinking about getting a bench magnifier. I have a little hand magnifier that has 10X magnification. Most of the bench ones I've seen seem to be around 3X. Doesn't seem a lot of magnifiacation. I intend to make my first smd board soon and maybe a bench magnifier would help when soldering etc.
Anyone else use a 3X bench type? Does it help? Thoughts appreciated please if you can spare the time.
