My warning to possible buyers is that to pay attention to the description. It does clearly state that the larger one is the 6x, and the smallest the 10x, but I missed that when ordering, so be warned. I was expecting the larger one to be 10x. My fault, but wanted to make sure no one else has same problem.I bought these for my hobby and work of sculpting miniatures. Mainly for examining the miniatures after I am done sculpting. The overall quality of the magnifying glasses is decent, the glass lenses are great and very sharp and clean, however the magnification claims are terribly off. I expected this to a degree, but not this bad. I compared them to my UltraOptix Round LED Magnifier 4 Power and found that it was as good as the 10x in this set. I then compared the other two in this set and found them lacking even more so.
So realistically you get a 2xPower(Large size) 3xPower(Medium size)and 4xPower(Small size) magnifying glasses.
Technically that really stinks. However the glass quality and magnification clarity were excellent and entirely defect free. Compared to my UltraOptix which has a plastic lens, decent clarity and all sorts lens refraction issues, these glass lenses are far superior.
For the price you can't really complain as the overall quality is pretty good. However the magnification is just weak. I will now be looking for a true 4xPower, 3in or wider glass magnifying lens to suit my tastes.
As for this set, I find the medium sized 3xPower magnifying glass to be decent. The rest will be given away. So one decent glass lens magnifier for the asking price. Barely, barely worth it.

Super quality, so glad I found them. So much junk ou there, hand held microscopes are a bad joke. Cheap magnifying lenses that cost more than these are so frustrating. These glasses are just the best.The thin metal casing around the glass of the lens arrived bent. This is a cheaply made set of magnifying glasses.Want Classic High Power Magnifying Glass Set - 6X, 8X and 10X - Chrome Rim and Handle Discount?
I purchased these for my mom who has macular degeneration. She was very pleased with these. She can read her paper and Bible using the 10x. She hasn't been able to do this for a while. Good value for the price. We just needed to see what power would work for her before investing in a more expensive glass.
