Re: Looking for a borescope
i bought my dad a Snap On bore scope several years ago and it was not too expensive at the time, i'm sure they have gone up since then, but it has a clear screen and i also bought him the smallest wand so he can look at the inside of a rifle barrel. if i remember correctly it was under $700 with the different size wands. one of my coworkers bought the same one and uses it quite often looking for damage in engine blocks/cylinder heads. it does still pics or video.

Re: Looking for a borescope
You can go the low buck route and get one that plugs into a phone. I bought one some years ago for less than $20.

Re: Looking for a borescope
I bought this one because it has an articulating camera, so you can look back up at the head and valves:

Re: Looking for a borescope
One was included with the vehicle scanner I purchased some time back. Large size of scanner make use somewhat cumbersome. If I were to buy one would look at many that use my cell as the screen. Really cheap and for as much as I would use it. It would be fine. Amazon, Ebay they are plentiful.

Re: Looking for a borescope
really depends on your intended needs and frequency of use
we buy Snap-on scopes at work, one thing I like is the dual camera head one faces sideways, the other on the end. cheaper than articulating cameras and fits smaller openings they record and file conveniently for vehicle history records might be a little excessive for home use but I don't put a lot of stock in cheap electronics I believe Milwaukee make good sewer cams, they might have a compact automotive application that's reliable good luck!

I've been using this for many years. Good, economical unit.

Re: Looking for a borescope
I have a bluetooth unit that is very nice, has a bright LED light on the end of the camera, and is rechargeable. You have to download an app to your phone, but it’s all really easy to set up.
I’m away from home for the week but if I remember I’ll post up the specifics this weekend.

I Bluetooth it to my iPad so I have a “Big Screen” to look at when I’m using it. So far it works pretty good. |

Re: Looking for a borescope
I have this one, it's a few bucks cheaper with the 16' cable, or about $20 more for an articulating end:

Re: Looking for a borescope
Earlier in the year I purchased this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0?ie=UTF8&th=1 It has performed well so far. I know there are better units, but for $50 minus the 25 percent off (I think I paid about $30 at the time), it is tough to beat. And, with amazon, if you do not like it, return it. |
