I think I have a SnapOn one somewhere I never use.

Because technology is developing so quickly, my guess is that a $100 to $150 "Amazon" (or whatever) system today will out perform a five or six year old high end brand name, or tool truck brand.

After spending several hours on the net Christmas eve comparing units and reading reviews, I ended up buying this unit. I have several cars to inspect in Canada in two weeks but unfortunately my procrastination means it won't be here in time. However, I will check it out when it does arrive and let everyone know how it works. I have been using an ACDelco for years but it does not take photos and everything is in black and white. Otherwise it worked fine. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.

I use a Dewalt DCT410S1 inspection camera that is color as well is photo and video capability that saves on an SD card but has since been discontinued. I might add that it is not a borescope and has limited capabilities due to the limited flexibility of the camera cable.

Eagerly awaiting Rick's and Tim's reviews.

I was looking at the unit Rick just bought. Just didn't want to pull the trigger til I heard from real users I know I can trust.

Totally understand Lynn. The one I have been using for years gets the job done but the clarity is not what I want and the fact that I cannot take photos is a major issue such as distributor stampings. Once I have used it on a few cars I will report back. I just hope it comes in time for my Canada inspection as I could use it on all three there.

I, too, am interested to hear the review. I bought one ~15 years ago, which is now totally obsolete (and MIA, like half my tools since I moved). At the time, though, it was immensely useful for inspecting C2 birdcages in a gentlemanly way.

A couple years ago Milwaukee sent us their latest offering for us to build a display, and I was surprised it wasn't much better that the dinosaur I had.

Seems you should be able to get it in less than 2 weeks, Rick. I put one in my cart to see when I would get it and it doesn't state a date, just 3-5 days AFTER it ships. Don't know if buying the $2 prime for a week would reduce the wait or not. If it's coming directly from China, yeah, it could take a while.

Said it was in stock but in stock where? I got an estimated delivery date of 1/7 thru 1/17. I need it by the 8th. Oh well as again it was my procrastination.
