Wall-Eye Flashlight to View Wall Cavity
Anyone ever use one of these? I am thinking about getting one for a
wall insulating job in my home. Wondering if they work well and are worth the $30. http://www.connectworld.net/cgi-bin/...ZQ;LSD55-400;6 |

It looks like a good idea, but most walls have a 2 x 4 across the top.

I think it would most often be used by looking through a small (patchable)
hole in the drywall. As far as how effective, you would almost need to try it. The eye relief and field of vision would be important regarding the usefulness of the view. "Bob" wrote in message ...

Of course if you are just drilling a 1" or 2" diameter hole in the wall this won't work. Ken |

I have a fiber optic wall inspection device. It costs about $300. Even so
it is difficult to see useful stuff. I doubt this gadget will do better. "Buck Turgidson" wrote in message ... Anyone ever use one of these?

But if they don't focus closer than 5 ft they might not be too useful. Tom G. |

But before buying one, try a dental mirror and 150W lightbulb close to your ear. They also have at HD an attachment to a flashlight that bends around corners. It best fits the flashilight that they sell with it, but I found a way to stick it on my 2AA flashlight. Haven't tried to use it yet, with or without a dental mirror.
