Ullman Devices HTC-2LT LED Light Telescoping Inspection Mirror, 2-3/8" Diameter, 6-1/2" to 36-3/8" Length, Diameter: 2-3/8", Length: 6-1/2" to 36-3/8", Round/Telescoping Mirror

This cost me about 10 bucks. Quite frankly, I don't know how they can produce it that cheaply and have the functionality and features it has. It has a 2-3/8" diameter mirror with a double knuckle swivel attached to a stainless steel telescoping rod that when fully extended is about 36" long, and when collapsed, is about 6-3/4" long. And, get this: it has a tiny LED light on the edge of the mirror! Way cool. The only thing I am a bit concerned about is how to remove the mirror when the batteries finally give out that power the light. It appears like the mirror could easily be broken when you try to force it past the stiff plastic prongs on each side of the mirror, to gain access to the batteries under the mirror. No instructions come with this. There was a piece of clear plastic projecting from under the mirror when I got it and there was a note on the packing saying to remove the battery protection before turning on the light. I presumed that this projecting piece of clear tape was the protection, so I gently pulled it out, then tried the light and it worked. I would think a better solution might be a threaded socket for the mirror edge, or some metal prongs that snap back out of the way to facilitate mirror removal for battery replacement. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. For 10 bucks, it is hard to go wrong with this. If you need to see on the tops of doors, under and into mechanical equipment and other locations where you would otherwise have to get down on your knees or climb a short ladder, this can save you that drudgery.

I do equipment inspections/assessments for a living and this mirror tops all others that I have used in the past. Great tool for all my purposes.

Geocaching is a hobby that involves people hiding containers somewhere, posting their coordinates (and description) on the internet and then reviewing the posts of people who either found them or who tried to and did not. It requires a GPS receiver and the use of a computer. Almost a million "caches" have been hidden on all seven continents. It is really a fun reason to get outdoors and another thing to do while traveling.

Although "geocachers" range in age from the very young to the very old, many of those that participate have trouble bending, squatting and stooping. Since a lot of caches are placed under things this often creates problems for some of us and adds discomfort to what should be an enjoyable hobby.

Enter the Ullman Lighted Inspection Mirror. With it's lighted mirror and extendable arm I can easily look under lighting control boxes, guard rails and bushes (all places caches are routinely hidden) without feeling like I'm doing deep-knee bends in gym class. When other goecachers see me using my inspection mirror they are blown away. First they ask where I got it, how much it cost and will I sell it to them? It folds into a very compact package and is easy to store. This well made item should be in every geocacher's backpack.

Spiffy idea. Works well,not good. Superman does good, this works well.

Great for checking gutters.
