Not so good at replacement parts

At first I thought it was good for what I was using it for BUT then coke came in and water seeped into the mirror, froze and the mirror broke! Revain replaced the mirror but I wouldn't buy it again

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Safety

Added to my tractor for good visibility.

Mirrors were added to my tractor some time ago but they were standard mirrors from a local auto repair shop. They helped, but rusted after a short time. These convex mirrors greatly improve rearward visibility. I can't say how they hold up yet, but I hope so.

Pros
  • Excellent overall specs
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

Good quality mirror at a good price.

I am very happy with this mirror. It is made of high quality material. While not that big, it's very handy for spotting oncoming traffic as I placed it at the end of the driveway to create a blind spot for oncoming traffic. I highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • There is nothing here

Ideal for checking packages on the porch

We used to have to open the front door to look for packages. We installed a peep hole, but the viewing angle isn't wide enough to see the bottom of the door. We placed this mirror on the porch railing and now with a quick peek out the window we have a great view of the entire area of the door and more. We are very happy with that!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Limited use but this reflects

I have to imagine people buying this for other purposes than to install on a very old car so some alternative fitting methods could make it much easier to use. I had to modify it and buy other parts to mount it on the wall. The adjustment range is also minimal. You have to set it exactly to the angle you want to reflect and it will practically stay at that angle.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Damaged

The case frame is rich in iron - questionable "stainless steel " percentage.

To avoid confusion, the body of the mirror housing is made of strong iron, so while it may be very poor quality stainless steel, it will rust over time. I suspect the seller is simply using the appearance of stainless steel as a selling point and relying on the lack of clarity to trick buyers into believing they are buying a durable product. Easy to install, good hard ball joint shouldn't drift. Good mirror finish. It's about the aging of the elements. There is no drainage hole. I was talking…

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Exorbitant Price

We built a mirror at this price!

Purchased to replace rusted 8" mirrors on my 1993 Ford Aeromax dump truck. Works like any convex mirror. Provides a good field of view and helps eliminate that large blind spot. The taper and price are definitely better than the mirrors I've found at my well-known local parts stores (except for the mirrors at my local NAPA store, but the price was almost 3 times the price). Summary: - Brilliant 8.5 inch round convex mirror. which reflects images and provides a wide field of view - Yes I would…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Trade in available

Great mirrors! Good price! Be sure to buy!

I replaced the factory flat mirrors with these. I can only say WOW! I can confidently support my 1997 27ft Class C RV. I see at least two lanes of traffic when driving and changing lanes, which helps A LOT! They look a bit different than the rectangular truck mirrors, but seeing all the movement around me is everything. I ordered black ones to minimize possible reflections that the chrome ones (can) cause. It's such a pleasure to see what's around you on the factory mirrors. Of course, objects…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
