This tool allows you to slip a mirror behind the equipment and see where things are located. With the incorporated LED light, finding what you are looking for is much easier even in dark nooks and crannies. Now, anytime I need to connect an HDMI cable, an A\/V cable, or a USB cable, the first thing I grab is this mirror. <\/p>\n<p>Once I started using it on a regular basis, I found more scenarios where it came in handy: finding things in the lower section of my engine compartment (especially when I dropped a socket and it got stuck somewhere), checking the soap level in the soap pump bottle under the kitchen sink, looking at the plumbing in the bathroom vanity, etc. I\u2019ve even used it to see where the cable feed hole is on my desk when I\u2019m trying to get yet another USB cable connected from point A to point B. <\/p>\n<p>It has a telescoping handle that extends 33 inches, a non-slip grip handle, and a bright LED light, powered by a standard CR-2016 battery. The mirror unit can be swiveled about 300 degrees, making it easy to adjust to any situation. It is fairly compact, and folds almost flat. I haven\u2019t seen many of these in tool stores, and the few I\u2019ve seen are more expensive than what I paid for this tool. It sure beats using the dental mirror and flashlight setup I used before!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/07\/inspection-mirror-in-use.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/07\/inspection-mirror-in-use.jpg\" alt=\"inspection-mirror-in-use\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/07\/inspection-mirror-in-use.jpg 680w, https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/07\/inspection-mirror-in-use-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telescopic range of 6-3\/4 to 37 in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29318"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29318"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29321,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29318\/revisions\/29321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
