Economy Lens Loupe 10x vs Dual Lens Folding Magnifier 30X/50X

Buy the Economy Lens Loupe 10x if you need a dependable glass lens for close, repeated inspection work such as watchmaking, engraving or checking hallmarks. Buy the folding 30X/50X magnifier if you want something pocketable for quick, casual looks at jewelry, jade or small print. The loupe is the sturdier, more precise tool; the folding magnifier wins on portability and magnification range but uses acrylic lenses that scratch and distort more easily.

• Choose the Economy Lens Loupe 10x if you want a glass lens, a chrome-finished body and a loupe that sits comfortably over the eye for sustained close work.
• Choose the folding 30X/50X magnifier if you need a tiny, lightweight magnifier that folds shut and offers two higher magnification levels for quick checks on the go.
