I’ve never been one to buy “cheap” tools for working on my cars, but I’ll give this one some credit! It’s probably the best $70 I’ve ever spent. I read a lot of the reviews, but after buying this thing and testing it out, I wonder if the competition was paying folks to submit bad reviews. Pulled a spark plug and looked down the hole today just to test it and I could see everything crystal clear! Picked this up on sale from Harbor Freight, and it’s worth every penny.

Thanks for the review, I have always wondered about those.
Has anyone used one of the cheaper thermal image cameras? I think one of those could give interesting data at times.

This is the one I bought, they have gone up since i bought mine. It has a mirror that threads on the end to take images at 90°. For some reason I can't paste as a link.

The mirror sounds like a great idea. I needed something this summer to check a few bores more closely.

I have an older HF version, but still the cheaper of the two they offered at the time. IIRC, the probe isn't small enough to go through a spark plug hole. However, I really like using it to make sure my intake runners are aligned with the cylinder head ports when installing an intake.

Hahaha...nice to see other options! Mine was 20% off so it was a good risk to take.

That one from Amazon, works great.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!
