Can anyone suggest a relatively inexpensive borescope for general use?
I can think of a couple of times it would've helped around the house, and most lately a leak problem.
Thanks.

Not sure how much you want to spend, but I just saw a neat one at my car mechanic's shop. The peddler was bringing to independent shops and showing it off. It was a fiberoptic one that gave a very clear view. I think they were asking about $250 for it.

Yes, about what I was looking at. Provision makes some reasonably priced ones. I am currently thinking about a 36" long model with a 1/4" diameter fiber cable. Like below, but maybe a better price or with a couple of accessories like an angle viewer and magnet.

I've just picked up on this by looking around on the web, and don't know how these work in reality.
Just bought one of the Rigdid SeeSnake Micros two weeks ago. It works great! $209.00
36 Inch reach, with the options of adding extra lengths. Nice color screen also

That's pretty nice. It looks to be a small camera in the tip vs fiberoptic. Oh, well, I've ordered the 36" 5.8mm fiberooptic pv636. $206 including shipping from tooltopia.com .
