I did a brief search and nobody seemed to discuss this.
Why carry a mirror?
To check on your appearance: e.g. see if there’s food stuck in your teeth. Also, I keep getting eyelashes in my eyes.
To peer around corners/behind things: e.g. plugging in a computer.
If you’re the outdoors type, you can use it to signal if you get lost.I think most people will carry an acrylic one, which is light and unbreakable, but it scratches easily. You could get glass, but that breaks. I wanted a credit card sized one to put in my wallet, but there aren’t many choices for this, even on Amazon. I finally found a 304 stainless steel one from eBay. Yes! I thought it would be “indestructible”. Surprisingly, it got fine scratches after I ran my finger over it! So I stuck a screen protector on it. They seem to last long enough on my phone and I can easily replace it. You could also buy a mirror polished card holder.
The stainless steel one feels solid and a bit heavy, so I realised it can also function as a pry bar, if you don’t mind damaging the corners, and a scraper. Maybe I don’t have to carry a separate pry bar. How about a mirror/pry bar/nail puller/bottle opener/driver/box cutter with custom screen protectors to protect the mirror?
Lastly, I’d like to say inspecting mirrors is a job I can clearly see myself doingÂ
