Spent 3 hours trying to grab a fish tape in the ceiling to pull in a new wire for the ceiling fan so I went to HD and bought this.
After checking out heating ducts (clean), ear wax and nose hairs I stuck the camera through the hole in the ceiling and hooked the tape with a coat hanger.
It also fits inside barrels bigger than .40 cal if you want to get intimate with the rifling.
In the store, I grabbed a 2' piece of 1/2" copper tubing and tried the Milwaukee scope the had on display. The Ryobi had a better picture for half the price.
HD still had old stock on the shelf with the 5/8" camera but in the back of the stack I found the new ones with the 5/16" camera.

nice tool.
I'm lucky and have small diameter borescopes available in the office.

Prices have come down considerably. The shop I worked in had purchased a bore scope (more like diesel engine cylinder bore than rifle bore!) about 10 years ago and paid a hefty price ($1,000+?).

Re: Bought a tool
Found a new use for it.
Got a splinter in the bottom of my foot. Those of us who have reached maturity will understand how hard it is to even see the bottom of your foot without getting a cramp in your leg.
Found it with the camera.

Re: Bought a tool
Been using such things for years to inspect heat exchanger tubes and the like. Started with a Rigid (don't step on them). I'm now using a Milwaukee. The 4 foot is nice, but for what I do the 9 foot is better.
I have used the shorter length to retrieve bracelets from the sink drain. It got past the trap and it made retrieving easier than pulling clean outs.
