I'm not recommending the multi hundred dollar solution.
There are some on ebay similar to what I'm using for about 15 bucks.

do you prefer the headpiece approach to a flex-arm lens? If so, why?
I've tried both, Frank, and just find the head-mounted magnification
unpleasant. Perhaps, I just didn't take the necessary time to adjust to
it, but I just didn't like the feel of it. Personally, I prefer to see
most of the world at normal scale, and get my 4x magnification only when
I am focused on vise and hook.
