Borescopes ?
 
I'd like to get a scope for casual use on boat, car, house etc. Anyone have any recommendations ? There are a couple for sale locally that were designed for medical use that seem pretty high end but I don't know how suitable they'd be for mechanical stuff. Thanks

The ones we use are like $25k but I found these in the MSC catalog

if you're just looking for something that sees occasional use, Harbor Freight makes a really cheap one. http://www.harborfreight.com/digital...era-67979.html

Yeah, I see now that the can run well into the thousands. Want to keep it around $500 or less for the limited home use I'll get out of it. Lots of choices and options and I don't know anything about them. Thanks

I sell one buy Autel with a 5mm wand and a 2 1/2 screen. AULMV208-5.5 for $214. The HF. one has a 8mm 0r 10 mm wand and is hard to use .

I bought this camera from harbor freight for $69 on sale. It does a good job for the price. It's not the best out there for sure, but it has come in handy a few times for me already.

The one from harbor freight is cheap as heii, and has a removable wireless color screen with a dim-able light by the camera lens. I use mine to find that pesky nut that fell into the intake.....

Saw one at Wal*Mart tonight in the Auto section when I was buying Mobil1. Do not quote me on price, but $79 bucks maybe? I just glanced at it.

I have one from Home Depot and am pleased with it for the price. If I used it on a daily basis, I would upgrade...
