About Ullman Devices

Ullman Devices has been a cornerstone of professional tool manufacturing for over 85 years. Ullman traces its origins to 1935, when founder Robert Ullman invented the first inspection mirror after observing an aircraft mechanic struggling to peer into the inner workings of an engine with a crude, improvised reflector. That flash of insight launched a company that would go on to define an entire category of specialty hand tools.

From that original workshop in Manhattan, Ullman grew into what it is today: the world's leading manufacturer of inspection mirrors and magnetic pick-up tools. The brand's commitment to solving real-world problems in tight, hard-to-reach spaces has driven continuous innovation across every product line. Technicians in automotive shops, aerospace facilities, electrical trades, and industrial plants trust Ullman tools because they are engineered specifically for the work that happens behind the work — the inspections, retrievals, and markings that keep complex machines running safely.

A Tool for Every Tight Spot

Ullman's flagship product line, the inspection mirror, remains the gold standard of the category. From compact pocket models to long-reach telescoping designs with rotating LED lighting and digital camera compatibility, Ullman's mirrors feature an original all-angle ball joint that holds any viewing position without slipping — a critical advantage when you only have one hand free.

Alongside mirrors, Ullman's magnetic pickup tools are a staple of any well-equipped toolbox. Ranging from pocket-sized telescoping models to heavy-duty flexible designs capable of lifting several pounds, these tools use high-flux Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets for serious retrieval power. The patented POWERCAP feature on select models shields the sides of the magnet, allowing precise retrieval without accidentally attracting surrounding metal.

For precision disassembly and marking tasks, Ullman offers both hook and pick sets and dedicated scribers. The hook and pick sets include picks formed at multiple angles — straight, 90-degree, double-angle, combination, and complex — giving technicians the right geometry for every situation, whether separating O-rings, removing fuses, or routing wiring. The scribers, including carbide-tipped models built for marking metal surfaces accurately, bring the same no-nonsense durability to layout and measurement work.

Keeping all of these tools organized and within reach is made easier by Ullman's tool boards, which are designed to store Ullman's full range of specialty hand tools in an accessible, clutter-free workspace arrangement. Whether wall-mounted in a shop or placed in a service vehicle, a proper tool board ensures every mirror, magnet, and pick is right where you need it.
