Tool Time: DEPSTECH Dual Lens Endoscope

My old USB endoscope was giving up the ghost so it is time to replace it. With a suggestion from a loyal viewer I looked on the Amazon and bought this little guy. Time will tell if it holds up but so far it seems pretty good for the price. -Enjoy!

Eric, arthritis sucks. I have same. I hurt every day. Strange that viewers would comment on a working person's hands and nails but I guess some folks see everything and must comment (don't have a filter) Thanks for the videos, I continue to learn things I didn't know.

That is getting good quality images. Camera's have improved a lot (shame the software is a bit "dashcam").
I used to get blighted by dyshidrotic eczema on my hands at times. Lots of tiny water blisters that ended up getting infected and making my hands look a bit gnarly.

As a fellow sufferer from arthritis, I’m dealing with RA, I know there is days where my hands don’t function well but we do what we have to do to support our families. You’re a good man Mr. O and we need more of Mrs. O busting your chops 🤪

Like the Depstech camera. I have an older version that I used in our RV to track the satellite cables in some really confined areas. As for your hands and feet, do what you can and the hell with those who lack the gumption to know when to keep quiet. I subscribe to the saying by Confuses, "It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt."

I purchased this endoscope on Friday to look inside the spider hole...Honda Accord with a broken timing belt...found no damage to any of the 16 valves...Dodge a huge bullet...thanks for adding this to your amazon store hopefully my purchase helps the SMA in any way possible.

I discovered your channel while searching how to remove a hub from my old car. I started watching every time you uploaded something. You have such a high level of skill using an oscilloscope in the practical world that it became part of my classroom links for the biomedical program I taught.
It would be nice to do an entire video of using the oscilloscope.

Nice piece of kit there Eric, the camera lens sure gives clear pictures, this is the kind of modern technology that we un the trade like, your hands are working mans hands, we dont sit behind a desk pressing buttons all day, we do our job, do it right as well as we can and have abused our bodies fixing cars for years, get Mrs O to give them a massage and cream them, it works wonders, take care 👍👍👍

I just purchased a Depstech DS450 and this video helped increase my confidence in using this tool. Thanks

[shaunsautorepairs]

Brought one of these recently, so far I'm impressed with it...
On a side note I sold my previous single camera scope to a guy on ebay... He gave me neutral feedback after a couple of days had passed.. He said it broke after two uses but admits it was his fault for stuffing it inside an engine....

[patrickmorrissey]

Looked amazingly good to me... More than I would have expected....

[kjmagnon]

I have one just like that, used it to drill an old antique safe to visualize the tumblers to unlock the safe. Worked like a charm!

[IronRiviera]

They work well. Easy to look in places you'd never have thought of...

[jamesfitzgerald]

That is a very cool camera .Great for checking valves and pistons & cylinder damage . Big time saver on diagnostics.

[bobmanzi]

I cannot believe people post stuff like that. There is definitely something wrong with the world today if that's all people can focus on. I find your content very entertaining and very informative I love it I can't get enough I thank you for posting up all these videos and teaching me what I don't know about cars which is everything thank you again enjoy your day

[tomjohnson]

I’m pretty sure I’ve watched every single one of your videos. The finger nails never bothered me. They look like the belong to hands that work for a living. Maybe if more of America knew what that looked like we wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in now.

I bought the el cheapo Depstech that plugs into a smart phone. It was like 30 bucks. Just the end camera with LEDs. Works great! It came with a magnetic pickup attachment.

[beaverc]

I bought an endoscope very similar to yours for the smaller drain lines in houses but I have found myself using it for a ton of other things. It's a massively useful tool for people to have in their arsenal.

[ollieitservices]

lol what an intro! now how to send you a couple of packs of gloves! thanks for the content and terrific info!

Retired a couple years ago, my hands look and feel, better than they have since I started carpenter work in 1977
