My favorite borescope

Post by LeMark »

I've probably bought 4 borescopes over the years, but this one is the best. No computer or cell phone to connect to, super thin head for going around corners, with a cable that is stiff enough that you feel like you have control over it

It also has good battery life and you can record what you are seeing on a SD card

The downside is the 45 degree mirror was total crap. Loses a star for that

9 out of 10 stars

The head is thin but looks too long to go around a knuckle. What’s your experience with that?

it wont go around a knuckle at all. it is good for shoving down a leadpipe to check valve alignment, that's what I use it for.
