That's one of my 'wish I had one' tools - chasing cables through the hulls of yachts is a right royal PITA.

Looks good,
I went for the cheaper option as I knew it was something i'd only use very rarely, I got a USB probe camera froom ebay for about £20.

It claims it is waterproof, although i've not tested this yet.
It has variable brightness LED lights
It needs a 10mm hole to get through.

Hooked up to the laptop you get a nice big screen picture.

The one negative is that it can be very confusing to figure out which way up it is once you've piked it through a wall, all you have is a cable to waggle around.

Still, the one time i've used it, was worth the money. Drilled a small hole, and used the camera to identify where the pipes and cables were before cutting a larger hole when fitting my doorbell recently. Also to find the cable rod that i'd poked down from the loft.

For those that are not goingt o use it much, it's a much cheaper option.

I almost bought one of these, but then I spotted a Milwaukee 12 Li-ion model, brand new with no bids starting at £90 on ebay

I won it at £90 with £12 post and packing :thumbright:

Absolute bargain.
