UllmanHTC-2 Pocket Size Telescoping Inspection Mirror with 2.25 inch Round Mirror and Black Handle - Perfect for Mechanics, Contractors, HVAC Technicians, and Trade Professionals

Bought this because my MAC mirror I can not see very well in anymore and we have not had a MAC dealer in years (so hard to warranty it) and this thing is dang near identical in every aspect. probably made in the same factory lol

I like that it is shorter when it's collapsed than some of the other ones but still extends to being just as long

Great mirror.

For a small mirror when extended it feels like one solid pipe. Easy to fold and keep clean. I use a microfiber cloth and hasn’t scratched or dulled the mirror at all. Sturdy and works well. The only thing that I dislike compared to my other mirrors it that the bracket seems to bind up when moving side to side out of the package. All I did was loosen the nut slightly and it fixed it.

A good LED flashlight and this mirror are the the primary "tools" that an aircraft QC inspector will carry with him/her all day, every day. I selected this 2-1/4" telescoping mirror to replace a similar Craftsman #009-41603 item. Upon inspecting the Ulman HTC-2 mirror, I find it generally identical to the Craftsman except that the machining of the "ball-ends" that fit in the clamp for the articulation feature are actually machined and polished smooth, and quite superior the the Craftsman effort. The result is that, when adjusting the articulation of the mirror, the movement is much smoother.There are other mirror diameters & lengths out there, and they each have their place, but the 2-1/4" diameter mirror with the 36" overall extended length will get you in between frames and stringers to check rivet bucktails and out to check cotter pins on flight controls. This mirror will take care of 99% of your hard-to-see situations. For general back-side viewing, I use a 3" x 6" piece of polycarbonate mirror stock from the lavatory shop {or, found here: Polycarbonate Mirror Sheet +/-0.187" Tolerance 15/64" Thickness 12" Width x 12" Length Clear ) as a handheld mirror and just keep it ready in my shirt pocket. Having the larger field of view really helps.

Every mechanic needs this

Used these a great deal while in the military. Easy to use good tool to have in one's inventory.

I expected the telescoping portion to go to 36" since the mirror needs to be at an angle to actually see anything with the pole extended. However, the max length specified is to the end of the mirror with the mirror extended straight out. Also, the mirror is small at over 30 inches out.
