ERGOtouch duo · threaded both ends · satin stainless
Swapping a mirror head mid-case is a two-handed job at the worst possible moment. The ERGOtouch duo is threaded at both ends, so it carries two heads at once and you turn it round instead of unscrewing it. Two different sizes is the useful pairing – the Ø 22 mm you work with all day at one end, and at the other whatever the case actually needed: a small head for access, or a micro mirror for the magnified view. Satin-finished stainless, hollow and balanced, on the standard SS thread.
This product: 1 × Hahnenkratt ERGOtouch duo Mirror Handle, satin-finished stainless steel, hollow, SS thread at both ends · handle only, mirror cones sold separately
Made by E. Hahnenkratt GmbH, Germany · mfr code 667
| A thread at each end | Hahnenkratt call it the double-sided ERGOtouch. What that buys you is two mirror sizes on one instrument, ready at the same time |
| Satin finish | Hahnenkratt: the satin surface eliminates disturbing glares – the stainless answer to the problem the BLACKline solves with DLC |
| Hollow and balanced | Hahnenkratt: the ERGOtouch handles are hollow and well balanced to fit easily in the hand – which matters more with a head on each end |
| Grip recess | The easy-grip form and the recess are what Hahnenkratt credit for a secure hold and a pleasant feel |
› Buy two sizes to fit it – ULTRAvision No. 4 at Ø 22 mm and No. 0 at Ø 14 mm is the obvious pair.
› Or full size and micro – the ULTRAmicro Flex Ø 5 mm runs on the same SS thread, so one handle covers routine and magnified work.
› Handle only – no mirror included. Cones come in packs of 3, 10 or 12 depending on the line.
› Made in Germany – Hahnenkratt's own description of the range.
Which two heads should I put on it?
Whatever the two you keep reaching for are. Most people pair the size they use by default with the one they only need occasionally – a Ø 22 mm with a Ø 14 mm for access, or a full-size mirror with a micro head for anything under magnification. They all share the SS thread, so the pairing is yours to change.
Satin, or matt black?
Satin kills most of the glare and looks like a normal instrument. BLACKline ERGOtouch goes further with a DLC coating and is the one to choose if you work under a microscope – but it is single ended, so you give up the second head to get it.
Something lighter?
ERGOform PEEK at £10 is the single-ended plastic alternative, rated to 210 °C.
