Cen-Tech Inspection Camera

Chadwick, if you really need that colonscopy, just go to your local airport :P they may also give you another array of tests as well! I believe one of the passwords to get the free checkup is "I have a bomb", I understand the "Bin Laden" password expired recently...

VCRMan, if you still have it just bring it back to your local HF, most will just replace it for you. Just tell them you don't have your receipt.

Last point on the "description" page is that it has two LED's.

I don't know first hand how this one works, but the price is certainly attractive. Looking at the picture, I wonder if "extensions" are available, as it seems to fasten to the grip very much like the Ridgid model.

I do have a Ryobi, which I purchased a year or so ago when doing a lot of rewiring of this old house. It was $129 at the time and I think I got the MP3 player free with it. They are both part of the Tek4 series that Ryobi has.

On the Ryobi the light is pretty decent as is the imaging quality... but remember these are fixed-focus lenses. The Ryobi has a 2- or 3-year warranty, 30-day Satisfaction return policy. Features a magnification, larger color screen and a 180-degree rotation and 3-level illumination (as well as off).

Actually I was forced into this purchase when my electrician couldn't isolate a problem I had. A scope is great for this kind of thing, although I wish the 3-ft cable was extendable... it is on the much more expensive Ridgid and Milwaukee models. Frankly I am rather surprised at how often I use this.

(I realize the Ryobi is double the HF offering... but I thought it worth the mention.)
