I am tending to use this item more and more. Good counter-balancing at the base and by flipping the magnifier around.
Have used the magnifier quite often too.
This has proven to be an asset with small painting projects and replacing couplers. I have problems with my hands being unsteady, this has helped, It holds the items while I work on them, The magnifier helps with placement and alignment. CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT ON NEW PROJECTS.
