DeWalt DCT410S1 12V Inspection Camera Wireless Screen

by Clint DeBoer

Inspection cameras are a life-saver when you need to have a look at something. Particularly, something that is hidden from view, and which doesn’t want to be marred or destroyed in order to have a peek. The DeWalt DCT410S1 12V MAX 17mm Inspection Camera with Wireless Screen Kit easily fits into most tight spaces and wall cavities. With its LED-lit camera head and 12V MAX Lithium Ion battery, you can spend a good part of a day scoping things out. When the three foot cable is not long enough, the cordless LCD receiver can be removed to allow for a longer reach and easier viewing. plus, if you need more time to think about what you saw, you can snap a few photos or take a video of what is going on for future reference. The DeWalt Inspection camera takes Micro SD cards up to 16GB.

Dremel 8200 Cordless Rotary Tool Review

by Clint DeBoer

Dremel has been the leader in the rotary tool market for some time, and the introduction of the new 8200 Lithium-ion Cordless Rotary Tool kit means that they now have an even wider appeal. While their existing lineup, including the popular Dremel 4000-2/30 High Performance Kit, is very capable, the 8200 allows a portability not found in previous incarnations from the company. Partially, this is because their other cordless tools, particularly the 7.2V MultiPro and 4.8V MiniMite, all fell short when it came to power and longevity. Even the 10.8V, while technically very similar to the 8200 in power and capacity, carried the same 3-hour charge time for its Lithium-ion batteries. Now, Dremel has borrowed from parent company Bosch, integrating their 12V Max technology, and bringing its latest cordless rotary tool’s recharge time down to a manageable one-hour.
