All of the magnifiers feature a distortion free round lens and utilize the patented Versa-GripTM handle. The magnifiers are available in 2”(50mm), 2.5”(65mm), 3”(75mm), 3.5”(90mm), 4”(100mm), and 4.5”(115mm). These products are used by engineers, mechanics, inspectors, lab technicians, tool makers, instrument assemblers, jewelers, do-it-yourselfers, hobby and crafts people and were designed to meet the rigors of demanding jobs in laboratory quality control, inspection and manufacturing assembly functions.

The UltraTech™ line is a new and innovative product line, currently consisting of over 150 different premium hand tools. The line is based on the exclusive Versa-GripTM handle which features a new, ergonomic design and offers the versatility of multiple grip positions.
