For the GMCer that has everything!
This is not for your body but it looks great for looking into those small spaces on your engine, etc.

I've got one of these:

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200367474_200367474

Didn't pay that for it.... but none the less the camera head a pretty big and makes it problematic.

That's when I call the neighbor who sells medical equipment.....

These things can be useful from time to time. I discovered that one of the screws holding on my choke plate was missing. I have a friend in the defense industry who had access to one of these things and we poked around all the intake ports looking for it. We never did find it but I assume the PO had lost it somewhere else.

Remember, a pint of mag sulfate orally and plenty of clear liquids for 24
hours before attempting use internally! As in painting, prep is everything
for endoscopy. ;-)

I bought one for the shop. Handy thing to see in and around stuff, fishing wires etc.

Not to easy to see in the bright sunlight though, and watch you don't get the borescope camera caught between stuff, else you'll be still taking stuff apart to get it out!

Great tool!

I'd love to find one with a 40' tube, maybe I could figure why my homes sewer
line is always plugging up. I talked to several pluming firms and they want
big $$$ to scope it.

George,

It won't work!

The solid camera end is too long to make it through the curves.

I have a flexible borescope that I used to do exactly what you want to do and it's camera end is much smaller it would only go
through some of the intake ports.

It is also VERY difficult to interpret what you see.

Plus the ad does not provide the diameter of the camera.

Regards,
Rob M.

Mike,

Thanks for the laugh!

I've gone through a number of "bore-o-scopings" and the prep ain't fun! ;-)

G'day,

Being a tool junky I've got one of these too:

http://www.harborfreight.com/high-resolution-digital-inspection-camera-with-recorder-67980.html

IIRC it was on sale for around $149.00 when I bought it.

Check the Customer Reviews.

It has a head that's 8.5 mm (0.33 in) diameter.

Regards,
Rob M.

Well, I get the 'up periscope' test every five years on advice (family history of colorectal cancer).  Lst trip through, the GI gent was harassing the practice nurse over preps, "He better be so clean I could have my lunch in there...".  I was gonna comment, but he turned the Fentanyl up and I left the room rapidly.

Ray, the one I have from Harbor Freight is the same as a lot
of them. I found extra flex arms for it from MCM Electonics,
I bought 2, so mine will go out a little over 5 ft now.

Terry, My goodness with a 5 ft. length you are not considering a
do-it-yourself colonoscopy are you :) I know GMC'ers like to save a bit of
money but that might be going way too far.

Lately I haven't had time to read all of the threads so I have to pick and choose where to spend the time...

... I should have stopped spending time on this thread before I made it to this post.
