petrolhead Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I was thinking of getting a cheap borescope off ebay, there are usb ones that plug into a netbook or laptop for about £30, I think they would be handy for looking inside walls and voids, anyone tried one?

norman Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I wish I was installing again, you young ones are spoilt, what's wrong with tapping plaster for joists and pipes and sing an old broken mirror. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

petrolhead Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks for the replies, mine arrived today from dart systems, seems well made for £29 delivered. Wall mounting a plasma later this week so that will be a good chance to test it for looking inside walls.
