Good buy ?

Saw this today and thought this could be a good add on to everyone's tool box. Price doesn't seem bad at all. Does anyone have any opinions on this ?
Really impressed with the the retrieval tools that come with it.

I had a ridgid brand one several years back. Really wasn't all that useful. Mainly because the resolution was so poor. For $50 I wouldn't think it would be very good. When mine broke/quit working, never replaced it.

A coworker found something like this, that plugs into your smart phone, on amazon...

Efanr® 7mm Lens Mirco USB Endoscope Mini IP67 Waterproof Borescope Inspection Snake Tube Camera Mirror 6 LED Light for Andorid Mobile Cell Phone Smartphones with OTG Function https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EL9I5E8..._oXmlzbFXFSP9B

Resolution was amazingly clear.. The focal length is only about 24", but plenty for snooping around inside or around an engine that you can't otherwise see into. There are other such options out if you look around.

Amazing. Didn't know. Makes allot of sense and comes with retrieval tools also. 24 inches would be long enough for any motorcycle inspection. Price is right. I see it's water proof, wonder how it would react to oil or gasoline ?

I Like.............. I can see a use for it, not often, but it's like carrying a gun, "It's better to have it and not need it, than it is to need it and not have it".
