We have some underfloor plumbing leaks and were worried about having to tear up several rooms to find out which room had the leak. This tool helped us narrow down the problem to a single 2x2 area without opening any holes other than drilling a hole in each room that I was able to plug quickly and easily... We were able to investigate a thoroughly insulated floor and find piping leak which is no mean feat. This was about to make me run out and get one of my own. (I was using the plumber's brand new device)
Why only 2 stars? Well this was a new unit. Used once and after 30 minutes the camera head had detached. The plastic casing and screw are brittle and break easily. We not being rough with the camera as this was our new toy, not a well used tool and even with kid gloves on we broke it on a single outing. Needing to replace a 70 dollar part each time you use it will get expensive fast. On a almost fully solid product I have no idea why they chose such a flimsy plastic attachment for the camera. Check reviews and you will see a number other users had problems related to the camera detaching.
This 250 saved us a lot of time but a metal camera housing and connector would have made this a keeper when the plastic attachment made this yet another piece of junk we now need to replace.
It is true what others say about the camera often being upside down or sideways but that is just a part of learning how to handle the tool to keep it facing the right way. We were able to work that out in just 10 minutes. Great tool if they just spen a few mor dollars to keep the camera from breaking off and and shorting out.

For those times when you just can't extend your eye-ball into that hole... this is a great little device.

I found a unit on clearance at HD for $99.00 and I see quickly learned why it was so cheap. The unit was in a sealed box, comsmetically perfect with accessories and batteries. I put in the batteries and turned it on. The LCD image was lighted but blank and the LEDs wouldn't light. On closer inspection I could see that the head had detached from the flexible shaft. All the wires had detached. The unit is obviously not all that rugged. I will be returning it tomorrow.

Got it in and tried it quickly inside a wall. Other reviews had complained about the image being upside down, so I just twisted the head and worked fine. Works well in a hollow wall, but if you have a wall full of insulation, it can't see very well, but that is to be expected. The promotion of a free 3 ft extension was icing on the cake. The picture is hard to see when in the sunlight, but otherwise it is a very good product.
Excellant time saver.

Great tool. I chose the Ridgid over the Milwaukie due to the clarity of the display. I saw a demonstration of both brands and the Ridgid's display and camera was much clearer. I have used this Seesnake for assisting in auto repairs, clearing drains, pulling cable through walls [multiple floors] and inspecting plumbing. While I do not use this tool everyday, it is one of those tools that is a frustration saver. Eliminates so much guess work in hard to reach areas and helps reduce the times to become a contortionist. Well worth the extra $$ over the Milwaukie.
