I've always thought one would be handy, especially when poking around the engine compartment. Now they are $79.95 with a coupon. Seems like it's a no-brainer.

Looks like a decent buy.

I think so-actually some good reviews online for it. Doesn't Roger have a boroscope?

This is a lot more expensive, but I love it and use it all the time.

It's got a big screen and it's wireless and detachable which is really handy because you can set the screen where you can see it and then jiggle and twist the camera as needed. It's rechargeable and uses the same battery as a bunch of other tools - in fact, I liked them so much I bought every one.

A mechanic I use purchased that one a couple of weeks ago to inspect a piston in my sons car. The head was too large to go into the spark plug hole. He took it back and bought the next one up, same brand, and was very pleased with it. It has video capability and came with assorted mirror attachments. I saw the upgraded one he purchased and it looked very nice.
