ineedanother 2,551 #1 Posted 4 hours ago I was never inclined to have an inspection camera in my shop but my wife was apparently not meeting her Amazon purchasing quota and thought I could use one . Well I actually used it today. I had a loose drive pulley on my c-161-8 and couldn't find the set screw behind the pulley with all of the dirt and dust. I don't know how often I'll use it but it came in handy today 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 12,404 #2 Posted 3 hours ago Is that the type that plugs into a cell phone or tablet?? My son has one - he is a Locksmith - and it is handy to view what's going on inside an engine cylinder thru the spark plug hole... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 79,536 #3 Posted 3 hours ago I've had occasions to think that'd be handy several times over the years. The engine for Collusus is riddled with mouse scat and I won't run it until I can inspect the internals. A few months ago I bought a camera... Haven't used it yet. All in due time.

Download the app and it will take still photos or video. I don't know how long this one is but way longer than I would prefer. I think a few feet would take care of the majority of what I would ever use it for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, now that I have it, it will probably come in handy. I can imagine looking for things falling behind the work bench or under the seat in the truck or who knows what. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not long ago I said to my wife “something must have happened to the Amazon delivery driver because we haven’t received any packages in two days!” 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm at work and don't see Amazon purchases on our account I wait a bit and then call to make sure everything's okay 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
