RE: Inspection Mirror WAS 'Helping hands' tool

I know exactly what you're after - a telescopic rod (car aerial style)
with little mirror (flexible) on the end.



RS have quite a few - look under inspection mirrors in the mechanical
section. 613-230 is a telescopic version.



Alternatively, go to your local dentist and steal one!

Subject: [ukha_d] Inspection Mirror WAS 'Helping hands' tool



On a similar subject, does anyone know where I can get hold of a
small-ish
mirror at the end of some pole/handle - basically there are a number of
locations (node 0 mostly) where it's VERY difficult to gain access to
the
back of kit in order to see exactly which plug I'm trying to connect to,
and
although I can get a hand/arm to it I can't always get clear
'line-of-sight'.

It sounds a bit daft I know, but I could really do with something like
this,
perhaps a 4 inch square mirror at the end of a foot or 2 handle.

Any ideas/suggestions?
