Anyone ever try something like this?

A few people have them at work.  Most come with an LED light and multiple lenses for different magnification.  Looks kind of intriguing.

 

 

Bill @Bill WIlson, I tried this very one and it gave me an awful headache.  I think it is too heavy for my head/neck.  I wish I could find a lighter and more comfortable one.

Don't buy this one.

I bought one several months ago. I have to get it very close to the saw and use it, and it constantly gets in the way. The top part does not connect firmly and comes of if you twist it the wrong way. It is too short for my needs, and I can't buy an additional section from the company to make it smaller.

Well, I just installed a wall mount for my magnifying light last night.  Now to see how well it works.

You can see it in the background (circled). Now to get used to moving it around from the right instead of the left.
