Inspection probe/camera jobby in Aldi sunday

Post by missfixit70 » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:58 pm

Could be handy for leak detecting, finding & retrieving those bits you drop in inaccessible places or whatever else you may be able to think of it could be useful for :wink: http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/sp ... 8-26-10-46

Was only this afternoon talking about a friend having stones removed!

Are you actually going to buy one? at £69.99 its an expensive bit of garage kit that may only be used occaisonally unless you are exchanging garage uniform for white medicals. =P~ :twisted:
If you buy one what non invasive probing will be captured on camera :wink:

Does it have a recording facility...?

Would be great to see the expression on the face of the last owner trapped under the dash....!
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

I'm not buying one, as you say, not much excuse to use it, never was much good at biology:wink:
It says it's got video input/ouput Jamie :wink:

Hi
Absolutely great bit of kit....depending on hobby...i'll grab one if they get into the local Aldi...For my purposes, I'd use it a fair bit...not on the car, and no DIY proctological stuff......REALLY useful...
Cheers

Looks like a wicked tool. With my short sight it would be useful for tasks like reading the numbers on the starter motor plate and checking what type fixings are if I can't get my head at the right distance. However 70 quid is a bit salty so I will be looking out for a reduced one if I'm lucky

this would come in handy for me as an electrician looking underneath floorboards and into spaces behind plasterboard walls. so might just get one.
Most people use a camera on a mobile to photo people but mines full of under floor shots and videos looking for cables. might just do the trick for me. was looking to buy one for around the £250 mark so this is a bargain.

if you saw my van or workshop the answer would be quite a lot.
as an electrician its all about time and speed. if there is a tool to help me achieve that then I buy it.
I have given this tool a miss tho as you can get usb ones that plug into a notebook/laptop which do a better job for half the price.
So most likely get one of them instead. called borescopes.
The idea is a good one and both me and the plumber have a use for one so probably share one between us.

I would SO love to take it into work and hand it to a surgeon instead of the usually £10k one we use, but I have a funny feeling the end might be a bit wide.............................
