Inspection Cameras and Borescopes
Inspection cameras put a small camera on a cable so you can see inside walls, engines, and pipes. Milwaukee offers M-SPECTOR 360 cameras with 4-foot and 10-foot cables, an M-SPECTOR FLEX with PIVOTVIEW, an M12 auto technician borescope, and a full set of replacement cables, extensions, and scope heads. DeWALT offers 12V MAX cameras with a wireless screen in 5.8mm, 9mm, and 17mm heads. Klein adds the ET17 utility borescope. Bosch and Makita wall and floor scanners also appear here.
What to Look For
- Head diameter. Smaller heads fit tight openings. Larger heads usually give a brighter, wider view.
- Cable length. Short cables suit engine and cabinet work. Longer cables reach into walls and drains.
- Articulation. PIVOTVIEW and similar heads turn to look around corners.
- Display. Wireless screens let you feed the cable and watch from a better angle.
Shop inspection cameras at The Tool Nut, an authorized dealer since 1994, with free shipping on most orders and rewards points on every purchase.
Inspection Cameras FAQ
What camera head size do I need?
Pick the smallest head that still gives a clear picture for the job. The DeWALT 5.8mm head fits small openings, the 9mm is a middle option, and the 17mm suits larger spaces where light and view angle matter more.
Can I add cable length later?
On many models, yes. Milwaukee sells M-Spector extension cables and replacement camera cables, and DeWALT sells replacement and extension cables. Check that the cable matches your camera model.
