Can the right eye small magnifier be moved to the left side? And, does this item come w/batteries? - tia

I moved mine to the left. Just takes a normal philips head screwdriver. And it does come with batteries. Good luck.

Hello sir, First of all no question is stupid especially if it gets you out of a bind. Yes, the batteries are to be placed in the aft end (the screw cap opposite the bulb) of the unit if it is like a standard maglite. I shipped mine down to Haiti and did not open them up but I have had many others and they always opened up from that end and there is no reason to believe they go in the bulb end as there is a mechanism for the switch and the bulb socket on that side. The positive side with the nipple goes toward the bulb. If this is a new unit and never has had batteries this is unusual but as the other guy said it can be very, very tight when new. If it is a used unit that someone gave you and it has batteries in it the possibility exists that the batteries exploded from heat and the corrosive affects of the chemicals has jammed the threads of the end cap. This happened to me a couple of times here in south Florida in a hot work van over the summer. Try to coat the threads with something not to heavy (light grease or a nickel or copper based never seez compound come to mind) in the future. This will help.

It does. There is significant resistance when the magnifier is switched to the side. It is a great system.

Yes, the smaller right side eye piece has an additional adjustment. Hope this helps.

In the picture you see the round monocle above the right eye. Do you see the screw holding it in place? On the left side there is a threaded hole where you can put that screw.Short answer: Yes, you can move the monocle to the left eye.

the only buttons on side are for left to right adjustment of scope and up and down.....the turn on and color adjustments are unfortunately located right behind scope or to the rear...which is ok if you do not have a EO TECH magnifier.....it presents a tight fit....you almost have to tilt magnifier to the side position to turn on the transverse.....I do have a night vision scope as well...have not used the EO tech with it yet......hope that helps

No, you need a hand-held magnifier with a llight..I believe Amazon has them or look on line for L&S;, they have all kinds of products for vision problems.

Any of the little kits you can get to repair eye glasses will work. They usually include a few sizes of tiny screws and screwdrivers and one is bound to work. These only cost a few bucks and can be found at most department type stores. I have even seen them at the grocery checkout aisle. OR you could just go to any jewelry/watch counter where you can buy the batteries and they will install them for you right there.

Yes if you are right handed. To use the light you have to hold it in your right hand. Other wise it is a great item.

This comes with the flip-to-side mount to make it easier for you to switch from zoomed viewing back to your red dot, if need be. Same magnifier though.

This handy little tool is useable with or without the light on. This magnifier needs two (2) AAA batteries (not included) to light the two9@0 bright LED lights. You can use it as a normal magnifier without turning the kights on.Fair Winds and Following Seas!stam peden

Sorry, just noticed this question. No, I have never used a magnifier. My sight is set one slot back from fully forward and there is just enough room for my flip down rear BUS to clear it. Hope that helps.

Reverse the slide mount to drop the magnifier to the left side. Works great!

No, the battery model has a button to turn the glasses on. It's on the left inside of the glasses. I don't know what you mean about left/right polarity. My tv which is a Mits dlp has a reverse option that can be selected for the glasses but both lens change together.

If you remove battery, you could use the magnifier w/o the light. There is no on-off button for light. My earlier review said light didn't work. I tried again and it worked. Still think the uses for this are very limited.
