Big picture inspection mirror

[Paul Jones]

Marv,
I agree with your assessment for a larger mirror. More than 30 years ago my wife used up the all the skin tone creme face blush in an Estee Lauder compact. Rather than throwing it out I repurposed it. I now use the plastic cased compact which has a 3.5x2 inch mirror for all sorts of inspections. The cool thing is the mirror is protected by a locking hinged cover. I keep it in my machinist chest and the mirror stays protected. The hinged cover works well with pointing the mirror in tight spots. It fits in my pants pocket. It was a fantastic find and very useful but the mirror is showing its age with some silvering going out of the corners. It could be improved with a metal rod for inspection like you did.
