Default Use a mirror for easier wrenching

I used to use a hand mirror when I needed to look under or work under my SG, Especially when I'm trying to find the transmission drain plug. But I found a 12 X 12 inch tile mirror I used on a house project that works even better. It cost about $10 bucks for a box of 10 (Walmart) and it jsut the right size for fitting under the bike to see most of the frame. They are pretty tough tiles, but if you break it, you have nine more left. Of charge nine of your buddies two bucks each and make some beer money.

Just a little help for our knees and backs.

I wrenched for 30 years without a mirror on a stick and stubby wrenches. Then I bought an Esprit Turbo. Now I have 3 mirrors on sticks of various sizes, a hand mirror and stubby combination wrenches.
