5 out of 5 stars Rigid SeeSnake micro   July 17, 2008

I'm a plumber and I've waited a long time for somebody to make one of these. Some reviews complain that the image is upside down, but all you need do is grab both ends of the snake and twist it until the image is upright. It also comes with a hook that attaches to the camera end or a very powerful, very small magnet. The magnet is only about 5/16 diameter but will pick 6 ounces straight up.
It says right on page two of the instructions " Do not use this device for personal or medical use/inspection in any way." So if you are thinking of starting a roadside proctology service, forget it.
I think I am going to be very happy with it.

Using the pistol grip handle one would expect the picture you see would be a normal view. Unfortunately the picture is UPSIDE DOWN. It is confusing what actually one see. Geting disorientated. Virtually one have to twist the arm to see the way should be seen. Works OK, but not too well impressed. Should modify to able to rotate the camera. Theo at STAR-VAC from Australia.


4 out of 5 stars Tricky to use but very valuable   September 5, 2008

This takes some getting used to. The image is reversed, and the natural inclination is to move the handle to adjust the view, but you need to jiggle the cable - moving the handle of course does nothing. So it really takes a while to get the hang of it. But we use it for snaking cables in existing house walls, and it has proven valuable over and over again. It's kind of a "rough" tool, but being able to see what you are after can save big time, and give you confidence you are in the right place. We are happy with the purchase.

This gadget is one of the best tools on my service truck. I can now see down into drains and into wall cavities that was heretofore not doable in any practical manner. If you have nay doubts about its usefulness just check the on-line video available at Ridgid.


5 out of 5 stars An ingenious tool with helpful add-ons   August 17, 2008

I'm a contractor and was pleased to see an inspection camera finally out on the market that doesn't cost a fortune.

I was looking at the Milwaukee inspection camera when I saw this one. The biggest reason I chose the Rigid over the Milwaukee is that the Rigid has 3 helpful attachments with it: a mirror, a hook and a magnet. These attachments are great for doing down the wall cabling and retrieving lost items.

I could honestly care less about a rechargeable battery. If you don't use a rechargeable battery all the time, it doesn't hold it's charge and then it delays the job. Alkaline batteries have years of shelf life and are easily obtainable.

The picture being upside down doesn't make a difference. If you're looking up a wall, everything is going to look somewhat confusing anyway. The idea of a picture is to see leaks in pipes and you already know what direction pipes run so it doesn't matter if you're looking at it upside down. Besides it's easy to twist the unit to change the camera orientation.

I haven't tried the Milwaukee so I can't compare the Rigid's picture to it. I was fairly impressed with the picture on the Rigid so I don't have any complaints. Since this type of tool is new to the consumer level market, I'm not expecting miracles as far as the picture. It does the job fairly well.
