New tool time!

After reading  @aaronorange recent post about their missing furnace knockout, I was thinking that they would have benefited from a borescope to look for it.

My daughter gave me one for Christmas last year and it’s been way more useful that I would have ever believed.  I use it all the time, especially in the Oliver.  I’ve found wire routing paths, looked in concealed spaces, found dropped screws.  I even found a lost factory screw that was grinding away under the sewer pipe.

The price for a horoscope varies from around $30 to hundreds of dollars.  Vevor company has models for around $65 that are ideal.  It’s one of those tools you don’t know you need until you have it.

I got one for my phone three years ago, and find it really useful! Trying to run wires through a wall chase at home, but getting blocked? You can easily see what's in the way. Can't see the model number on the back of the stacked washer/dryer? Easy peasy!

One nice feature on the one I have is that it does not plug into the phone. Instead it has its own transmitter that sends via Bluetooth to the phone. That makes it easier to manipulate the camera without the screen moving all over the place. Plus, when I bought it my phone used a lightning plug, and the current uses a USB-C plug. With the bluetooth version, it still works fine. There are also models with attached screens, but I've never used one of those.

Here's mine, but it is discontinued: https://a.co/d/00RnxN3L

When I first starded to look for the missing knockout the first thing my wife said was I need a borescope camera. So in my thinking thats a green light to make the purchase. I'm sure they make one with a magnet tip just incase I do find it, LOL

"My Bad" but, I have found that if wifey starts a conversation with,
"Honey, I think you need a tool to help you do this", she has my complete attention for the duration of the conversation, no matter what else we discuss... 
I think she realizes it too, as we have had some rather meandering (like what do tools have to do with making sure my daily work clothes are in the hamper on laundry day...) conversations, but I was paying attention to every word until we were done.

Before we were married, my father told Maggie, "He is not hard of hearing, He is hard of listening..."
Now I have hearing aids, and I still do not listen.  🤭

B~Out,  I just heard the word "tool".

Interesting idea with Father's Day coming up!
