Pipe Stamp Reader

[Pipeoff]

I am sure we have all had the problem with magnification when trying to read lightly stamped or worn maker names and logos. Two hand hold to keep steady, proper light angle ext. Just bought an old watchmaker - jeweler work bench lighted lens. The heavy base Bausch & Lomb make was modified to hold a mini mag lite and is adjustable for any angle. Works great but the best part was it cost $5 at a lawn sale. Nice to win for a change.

A close up pic with any modern smart phone, and then blowing the pic up in your photo gallery does wonders. As I've gotten older and my eyes aren't what they used to be, doing this helps me a ton while working on cars when looking at wiring connectors to see the pin numbers, I'm also colorblind and cant always go by that.

$16 goes a long way and they can be used for other things:
