Customers are mixed about the quality of the magnifier. Some mention that it's adequately built, durable, and has strong clips. However, others say that the box it'd packaged in is very flimsy and only folded, not glued. The joints can damage more fragile materials, and the springs are weak.

Customers are mixed about the ease of assembly of the magnifier. Some mention it assembles very easily, it's simple, and makes soldering easier. However, others say that it can be a bit tedious to work with, it isn't terribly easy to put back together, and the lens assembly is the trickiest.
"...The price point, size, and ease of use were good enough for my needs...." Read more
"...The lens assembly is the trickiest, as you need to simultaneously line up the ball on the base and the one on the lens, between the two plates,..." Read more
"...The clamps make it easier to solder wires since it frees up both of your hands to hold the soldering iron and solder...." Read more
"...The alligator clips are more useful. Soldering can be a real pain (literally sometimes) when you're trying to solder something that is both small..." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the magnifier. They mention that the base is small, the boards are not very large, and the thumbscrews are too small to comfortably operate. The unit is too top heavy, and has a small focus area. The threads don't fit snugly, which means the lens wobbles frequently. The nuts were tight, and they had to ask their other half to put them on.
"...I just unwrapped the magnifier. It is really a bit small to be much good during assembly. I seldom use one, so I probably am not doing it right...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the magnifier. They mention that it has a tendency to tip over if not balanced, is top heavy, and has shaky holding. Some say that the stand has gotten weaker over time.
"...The thumbscrews 'skip threads' and do not hold...." Read more
"...The clamps, while very adjustable, have loosened over time and now like to spin on the shaft...." Read more
"...Depending on how you position it, it can tip over under the weight of its own magnifier, so you should expect to use it with light objects or close..." Read more
"...The alligator clips are firm. Not so they will do any damage to what my use is for. I could see that it may be a problem for plastic coated wire...." Read more

But man, it still kicks ass when you REALLY need another third hand. That instantly sweeps away the drawbacks. It makes you appreciate the ugly little bastard after neglecting him all of his life, dodging his constant calls, ignoring the weekly (more like weak, jesus christ) little league games, running from child support enforcement... but then you remember you have the SE MZ101B Helping Hands with Magnifying Glass, and the enormous sense of relief that sweeps over you when you realize you don't have to call that annoying little brat. At least not for now. Five stars.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If you found my review helpful, let me know. Lets keep making better buying decisions together. Thank you for reading and as always Be Safe & Happy Shopping!!
It's a low-budget tool that I've continued to use over and over to solder with mostly. I only really solder anything about once every 2 or 3 months. Usually, a broken toy, handed to me by the referenced child, eager with optimism. It works just well enough for my limited requirements, to not buy a new more robust one.
When it came in the mail, it was totally assembled, however, the nuts were so tight, I had to ask my other half to loosen them so I can move everything as I need. He fussed at me for spending so much money on another tool. He thought it cost between $30 and $50. He quit fussing when I told him how affordable it was. It is definitely worth the price.
In order to keep it from tipping over, I keep the magnifier toward the back to give it balance (that's all I use the magnifier for). That gives it enough weight to counter the weight of the jewelry I'm working on. I have a magnifying lamp that I use for better vision, so the magnifier serves no other purpose than for balance -- but it works perfectly. This tool has ended a lot of frustration, making my work much more enjoyable.
I'm planning to buy a second one so I can have two pieces in progress at the same time.
