I have one of these.
It works ok, but if you tilt it at all or don't have it in just the right
place it's hard to see.
It also has a tendancy to slip at the joints. Pretty cheap little thing, but
you get what you pay for.

The focus range is often too close for me to get my tools under.

Ya know......
you might consider an optivisor instead of a magnifying lamp.
Used to use those all the time in the jewelery shop.

Now that I think of it, I might get one m'salf.
