Items That Belong Elsewhere
If your tool does not fit the specific definition of an inspection mirror, it likely belongs in a neighbouring category. Do not categorize standard flashlights or headlamps here; these belong in Flashlights & Headlamps. If you are selling tools meant for measuring, such as laser distance meters or calipers, use Measuring Tools & Sensors. Pickup tools that do not feature a mirror surface, such as magnetic retrieval magnets for dropped bolts, should be placed in Pickup Tools. Standard hand mirrors used for grooming or personal vanity are not considered industrial tools and would fall under different retail categories.
