My daughter and I set up our home maker space this weekend. On thing we did was organize loose components: capacitors, integrated circuits, diodes, resistors. The markings on some of the components (like the tiny capacitors) are so small that I can’t even see them, let alone make them out. This little battery powered illuminated magnifier was just what I needed. It made the markings easy to read. It’s only $2 on Amazon with free shipping. If you buy one, you will use it.
