Telescoping Inspection Mirror

The General Tools 560 is a telescoping inspection mirror designed for viewing hidden areas. Its polished glass mirror sits in a plated holder with a ball-and-socket joint for adjustable angles. The handle extends from 11 to 16 inches and features a vinyl cushion grip. It suits mechanics, inspectors, and assemblers who need to examine inaccessible workpieces.

Professional and Occasional Users

This tool serves professionals who regularly inspect machinery and DIYers checking household repairs. The telescoping reach and pivoting head allow visual access behind obstacles without disassembly. Buyers needing magnification, built-in lighting, or a rigid fixed-length probe should consider other inspection tools. It is not suited for tasks requiring measurement or physical retrieval of objects.

3-1/2 by 2 Inch Mirror Size

The rectangular mirror measures 3-1/2 by 2 inches, which determines the field of view in a single glance. A larger surface shows more area but may not fit through tight openings. The plated holder protects the glass edges during use. This dimension is the key factor when deciding if the mirror matches the specific inspection task.

Questions about this item

Does the mirror head get hot or vibrate during long inspection sessions?

The mirror is passive glass with no power source, so it produces no heat or vibration.

What tools or accessories must I already have to use the telescoping mirror?

No additional tools are required; the mirror extends by hand and the vinyl grip is built in.

Will the 3-1/2 x 2 inch mirror head fit into the same tight spaces as my older rigid inspection mirrors?

The compact rectangular head and ball-and-socket joint let it reach angles that fixed mirrors cannot.
