[Elecraft] Mag-light

[Larry Phipps]

In terms of freedom of movement and field of vision, I like the drug 
store reading glasses better than the big black visor type magnifiers. 
Depending on your age, a diopter rating of +1 to +2  is good for most 
soldering, and +3 for small SMD. They're cheap and readily available.
