Darn, I wish they would label these things !

[230RN]

So I bought a bunch of small magnifying glasses for gifties and to have around the house and guess what?  I'm right-handed and fully half of them are left-handed magnifying glasses.

Dayam !

Flip it over.

I bought one just like it a few months ago (from Harbor Freight, I think) and I had to search thru a whole pile of them to find a left-handed one.

Cut that cheap handle off. Go to the scrap yard and find yourself some 1/4" steel plate. Preferably a large piece. Get a plasma cutter. Cut a handle to the size you want. Get a welder. Weld the new handle in place on the right side. Spray with a coat of Rustoleum. Use the leftovers from the steel plate to weld up some jack stands.

That's a feature, not a bug. The left-handed ones are so you can hold one in the left hand for the left eye whilst holding another in the right hand, for the right eye.

Don't matter nohow.  They're still left-handed.

This website has caught a bad case of the stoopidz.

Go to the other side of it; those are for looking at stuff on the other side of the house right handed.

[RocketMan]

Get rid of the magnifying glasses and just squint harder.

[Firethorn]

I'd imagine that they're left handed so you can hold it while you manipulate whatever it is magnifying with your right.

I'd try popping the lense out and installing it in backwards.

Dude at work asks to borrow a crescent wrench. Other dude says I got one, but it's metric. Dude walks away. Of course the same one wandered around for an hour looking for the basement key.  We are a plant built on a slab. Reportedly the dude needed the key to go get the stainless magnet, but not sure someone can be that dumb and still breathe.

I'd try popping the lense out and installing it in backwards.

No joy.  All the lettering I'm trying to read comes out backwards.

The actual question is how are they making it in private business, they should be moved in to a .gov job quickly, preferably the IRS.

Turn the reading material around so it reverses the reverse.

You can't read backwards print?

Get a mirror.

Well, rats.  The other side was blank.

You mean we have writers for The Walking Dead?

Or maybe even  . . . FEAR the Walking Dead?

 

[grampster]

Hold it in your other hand.

Well, I wouldn't be so quick to boast about it,  but.....yeah!  

[230RN]

Nah.  Awkward.  That just puts the lens part over your right wrist and you still have to compensate for the weird angle of the left-handed handle.

Nuts.  I've given up.  I'm going to bring all the left-handed ones back to Harbor Freight for a refund or at least a store credit.

Have you tried duct tape?

[230RN]

Have you tried duct tape?

No, wise guy.  Nor "turning it off and turning it back on again." Nor, the legendary Detcord.

I don't get no respect around here.  Some of you guys are totally unsympathetic to my problem.

Well, off to Harbor Freight I go.
