General 70557 Telescoping Inspection Mirror Round Glass

Product Description

The GENERAL 70557 is a telescoping inspection mirror designed for visual access in confined, hard-to-reach areas during diagnostic and service work. The round glass mirror measures 2.25 inches in diameter and mounts on a double ball joint swivel, allowing the mirror face to be angled for a direct line of sight in tight spaces. The handle is vinyl with a cushioned grip and collapses to 9.75 inches for compact storage, extending to 14.75 inches during use. At 0.18 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-hand operation. This tool is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and automotive service professionals during inspection tasks.

This inspection mirror is suited for residential and commercial service environments where direct visual inspection is obstructed by panels, components, or structural elements. Typical applications include inspecting heat exchanger surfaces, checking behind panels in electrical enclosures, verifying pipe fittings and joint conditions, and examining pool equipment in recessed housings. The compact collapsed length makes it practical for standard tool pouches and service kits.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Before use in electrical enclosures, de-energize the panel per NEC guidelines and confirm the circuit is locked out and tagged. When inspecting gas appliance heat exchangers or combustion chambers, shut down the appliance and allow components to cool before inserting the mirror. Handle the glass mirror face with care to avoid cracking, which would impair visibility and create a safety hazard.
