Milwaukee M-Spector 360 Inspection Camera Preview

by Clint DeBoer

At the 2011 Milwaukee New Tools Press Event, Corey Dickert gave us an up-close-and-personal look at the M-Spector 360 – the company’s newest inspection camera. What probably impressed us the most was it’s small focal length. At just 1″ away, the camera gave a really good view of materials and let you get right up close to check out what’s happening in pipes, behind walls, etc. Most inspection cameras can’t get that close without losing focus. We also appreciated the detailed and colorful images that the new camera presented. There is at least one competitor that does an equally impressive job, but the Milwaukee is far and above most of the typical inspection camera, which looks, for all intents and purposes, black and white. It also has a very narrow 9mm camera head as opposed to the more common 17mm head. Right off the bat it’s already suited for residential, commercial AND automotive applications. In our hands-on use of the camera we examined jean material, circuit boards, and Cat 5e cable close-up and the images were excellent.

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.

Ridgid SeeSnake Micro Inspection Camera Review 26743

by Clint DeBoer

Find it – See it – Fix it! That pretty much sums up what you can do with the Ridgid 26743 SeeSnake Micro Inspection Camera. Compact size, numerous features and a good image make this a must-have tool. Now it is easy to get inside a wall or ceiling and check for pipe leaks or other issues without excessive damage to the walls. It is much easier to patch up a 3/4″ hole rather than an opening big enough to get your head into!
