Radioshack Hand Held Scope

[stumpjumper]

Bought a new scope from radioshack, the 30-80x lighted one.. It's a piece of shit, don't buy one. You can't hold it up to a bud to check it, you have to snip a piece off and have it precisely in the little viewfinder.. it sucks..

I'd take it back if it wasn't covered in resin after tryng to use it once.

Shouldve just bought a new loupe.

I saw the title of your thread, and I was gonna come tell you how much they suck...seems like you have the same opinion of them that I do.

I'm in the market for a loupe. I love nice glass lenses

 

[stumpjumper]

Ya I've seen it recommended on here so many fucking times, never seen anyone say not to buy it though...

Why would you buy one from radio shack? Why not go to a hydro store for $20-30?

Why would I pay a hydro store $20-$30 for a $10 product? Maybe because hydro stores are fucking ripoffs.

Just break the plastic piece off, works quite well without it

You mean the clear plastic base? That slides off, I tried it without it still sucked.. It works but it still sucks compared to a loupe.

Looks to me you should have checked it out a little better at the store, BEFORE you took it home.All good growers know a good product when ya see it.

Even good growers try new and different things...

I'd bitch slap your ass..... If the motherfucking thing wasn't in a god damned plastic package and had the batteries included I would've checked it out better. I bought it because I have seen it recommended here a hundred times and never seen anyone say it was a piece of shit...

"All good growers know a good product when ya see it" I know a dipshit when I see one.

I just ordered a new LED scope last night to retire the shitty radioshack one, It sucks batteries like no other and uses an incandescent bulb which doesn't illuminate crap.

Here ya go Stump: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Mini-45x-LED-Light-Pocket-Microscope-Magnifier-Loupe-HandHeld-/190693819756?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c663cc56c

I have personally used one of these and it blows the shack garbage out of the water.

Hold a bud under a light (not in your grow room) and blow on it. If you see what looks like a whitish powdery substance come flying off, then it's mold spores. You may also see some white/grey mold growing further inside the bud when you open it up.
