Problem with that is the first magnification is ok, but as you get to the
higher powers you have to almost have your nose on the circuit board. I use
one and for some work it is ok, but for fine work something else is needed.

After about 3x the lenses put your eye so close to the work it is difficult
to get the soldering equipment in without getting burnt.


See:

3.5x with a 420 mm (16.5") working distance. You can get them in
other working distances.
