I read the reviews prior to buying this and I don't understand some people's confusion about the mirror and/or their difficulty in seeing the lines. As long as you're looking straight down onto your turntable (like you're supposed to do) I can't see anyone having trouble with this.

All in all, I find the tool of good quality, and the price was excellent.
