Carson SureGrip SG-14 2x/11.5x 5″ Magnifying Glass
The Carson SureGrip SG-14 magnifying glass is built for everyday use where accuracy and comfort matter. The main lens measures 130 mm in diameter and delivers 2x magnification across its full surface - no distortion at the edges, no blurring in the centre. Carson guarantees consistent magnification over the entire optical surface. In practice, this makes a real difference when reading small print, working with maps, or examining fine details on small objects. The image stays sharp and true no matter which part of the lens you look through.
Two levels of magnification in one tool
A key feature of the SG-14 is the bifocal lens built directly into the handle. It provides 11.5x magnification and lets you switch instantly between two magnification levels - no need to put the magnifier down or reach for a second tool. This is especially useful when working with electronic components, reading fine print in documents, or pursuing precise hobbies such as philately and numismatics. The overall design feels compact and ergonomic. The magnifier sits naturally and securely in your hand.
Lightweight and easy to take with you
The SG-14 weighs just 177 g (0.39 lbs) and measures 137 x 20 x 262 mm (5.4 x 0.8 x 10.3 in). It is easy to carry and ready to use wherever you need it. A soft protective case is included to keep the lens safe in a bag or pocket. The Carson SureGrip SG-14 is a practical companion for business trips, exhibitions, and fieldwork - without any risk of scratching the optics.
