Tools and accessories FINESSE

So far so good. I haven't used it much but I have a feeling of how it will be. I'll catch up if I change my mind. This is an elegant, wonderful mirror. You need finesse to deal with it. It exceeded all expectations and I was suspicious based on some of the reviews. I like the handle, it feels good in the hand and you can easily move the mirror with it. No breakage, delamination or loose glass/plastic connection. I wanted the largest hand mirror I could find and this fits right in. However, do not take this mirror with you, if you want to use it, treat it like an ordinary hand mirror. Reading the reviews I stopped expecting it to be like other handheld mirrors and I had to satisfy my curiosity. You must have reasonable wrist strength to handle this mirror as it is "top heavy" and if you hold it from the side the heavy glass will pull but the glass will not detach from the bottom or sides. That requires DEFINITION. Pulling foil from a roll, or paper towels from a folder, or handling guns, etc. requires dexterity. I have to "focus" on what I'm doing. You can't shake that mirror in a hard or harsh way. You have to treat it half-heartedly, like fine china. I don't want to scare you. The handle has a lot of play, but you can't drop it or bump into anything. You might think the plastic and stuff holding the glass should be more durable, and you're right, but then I think it's going to cost more. It more than serves its purpose, which is to create a beautiful, exuberant reflection. However, it goes far beyond the useful utility I wanted when I got it. This mirror is great and looks "Upscale", "Cat Meow", "Ritzy". I hung these upside down on the wall in the hallway on a hook at head height. When I open the bathroom door I can look in the bathroom mirror, look to the right and see my reflection in this mirror hanging upside down on the wall about 5 feet from me. I turn to the right and as I exit the bathroom, I see my reflection captured a few inches from my head to just below my shoulders, never "full" hitting the smaller mirror. I'm 5'9" and incredibly handsome which almost shatters the mirror but the glass is too strong and resilient. Glass doesn't play or bend. Plastic is just 'cheap' or malleable, but at the same time it's easier and gentler Handling quite sufficient. Also this thing is nice, cool. I suggest you hang it on the wall for both practical and aesthetic improvement. The handle fits perfectly on a coat hook and looks unique and sharp and I guarantee you that You will get compliments on the item. This is an excellent mirror. This damn thing would look great in any room in the house. Mine is in the hallway between the bedroom and the bathroom and I can take it with me when I need it. Anyone out of the Bathroom comes so sees his own reflection so they better not have low self esteem I am considering getting another one for another room but d as is probably an exaggeration. Great
