Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses




Slide these magnifying glasses into their protective, compact case; slide them out, and the case becomes a handle.
Plastic lenses are lighter in weight and more shatter resistant than glass lenses. Glass lenses have a clearer view than plastic lenses, since they’re less likely to develop scratches.
Magnifying glasses with two or three lenses have greater magnification than those with one lens. Stack multiple lenses on top of each other to increase their magnification. Magnifying glasses with two lenses have three stacking combinations. Those with three lenses have seven stacking combinations.

Distortion-Free Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses

Also known as Hastings Triplet magnifiers, these have three glass lenses bonded together for sharp, distortion-free images. Since the lenses are glass, they are less prone to scratches and give you a clearer view than plastic lenses. Slide the magnifier to open and close. A metal case protects the lenses when in storage and serves as a handle when in use. Since they’re handheld, they work well to inspect equipment and parts on the go.
Compact Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses

Also known as Coddington magnifiers, these have a single glass lens with a grooved circumference that shows sharp, clear images. The lens also resists scratching. Slide the magnifier out of its metal case to open—the case serves as a handle when in use and protects the magnifier when closed. Ideal for when you’re on the go, inspect parts around your facility with these magnifiers.
Distortion-Free Illuminated Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses

About the size of a credit card, these magnifiers have a lens that slides out of the case to inspect items and equipment on the go. When you slide them open, a bright, even LED light automatically turns on to make it easier to see details. The light will last twice as long as other LEDs. Unlike traditional magnifying glasses, the lens on these magnifying glasses is made with a curvature that corrects for distortion near the edge, giving you a crisp, clear view across the entire lens. This is helpful when checking the shape and size of an item. The lens is glass, so it's clearer and more durable than a plastic lens. The case functions as a handle when in use.
