View Full Version : Inspection Mirrors

OOOkay, the last time I bought a set of inspection mirrors was back in '66 
when I was with PSA.  I just dropped my favorite gimballed mirror and am in 
the market for a new mirror(s).  I guess a set of mirrors every 40 years 
isn't too bad.
Anyway, anybody got a favorite source for inspection mirrors?

Not that I've used it enough to claim a favorite, but mine came from Sears.

I like the ones from Princess auto but for the cost I doubt it's worth
the hike.

Snapon.   A set of three sizes were under a $100 bucks and the quality
was/is great.

If Jim's inspection mirror had been a Snap-on, would they have replaced it 
FREE?

(Old joke)
A:  Snap-on Tool.
Q:  Who is Billy Jean King's new sponsor?
(From the web)
Billie Jean King: Outed by Ex-Lover: Billie Jean King had married her 
college sweetheart Larry King. As her career grew, the two remained married, 
but Billie began having affairs with women. In 1981 an ex-lover outed Billie 
Jean King and filed a palimony suit. Billie Jean King, afraid of losing her 
tennis endorsements and her career called the affair a "mistake" and stayed 
deep in the closet. Even with that admission, Billie Jean King lost almost 
all her commercial sponsors.

I have had a Snap On dealer replace a Blue Point mirror that had the
frame break off from the handle.  I think though it is at the
discretion of the dealer as Blue Point is not under the same warranty
as Snap On.  I have seen Snap On replace broken 50 year old ratchets
and wrenches though.  They have a sheet that identifies the age of the
tool by the identification marks made on the handle.

Any decent glass shop can replace the broken one, if thats whats broken...
Dropped a cylinder 2 years ago, now you dropped a mirror... How much longer 
will your bad luck streak last?  ;-)

I didn't drop it.  The exhaust manifold kept it hanging onto the engine 
until I got the ******* onto the ground.
