General Tools Inspection Mirror 80560

The General Tools 80560 is an inspection mirror for viewing concealed areas during equipment service.

Electrical inspection is a routine application for a mirror and one where it prevents unnecessary dismantling.

Terminal connections, contactor contacts, wire nuts, and the back faces of components frequently show the first evidence of a developing fault, and that evidence is visual. Discolouration from heat, charring of insulation, corrosion at a terminal, and pitting on contactor contacts are all visible before the component fails.

Reaching those surfaces normally means removing components to look behind them, which takes time and introduces the possibility of disturbing something that was working. A mirror often answers the question without dismantling anything.

The essential precaution is that inspection near energised equipment carries risk, and an inspection mirror with a metal handle is a conductor. Where inspection must be done with the equipment live, the tool must be suitable and the technician must maintain clearance from live parts.

Wherever the work permits, the safer approach is to isolate, lock out, and verify dead before inspecting, then use the mirror freely.

Where measurements must be taken live, that is a separate task with its own precautions, and it should not be combined casually with poking a mirror into a panel.

Confirm the mirror size, handle reach, and construction suit the work, and keep the reflecting surface clean.
