What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The BoaMag is a lighted magnifier on a bendable 20-inch coil, so you can hold it, stand it up on a desk, or wrap it around a sewing machine, your neck, or another surface to keep your hands free. One end has an LED-lit 2.5x lens with a 5x spot lens for fine detail, such as threading a needle or checking stitches. The other end has 3 LEDs that work as a flashlight. It's a good fit for someone who wants closer, brighter views of small work without holding a magnifier steady. It runs on 3 AAA batteries (not included) or the AC adapter that comes with it.
