Have any of you guys seen or tried any of the electronic bore scopes on the market? You can get them for $150 or less on ebay. I thought about buying one when I replaced the sparkplugs and coil packs on a Ford E-150 van. It would have been nice to take a peek down the holes the plugs were installed to inspect the seat and threads. I just don't know if the lower cost units work very well.
On an editorial note, replacing those plugs and coils was a huge pain in the rear.

The borescope can help with that tooOn an editorial note, replacing those plugs and coils was a huge pain in the rear.
On a serious note, I've looked at the Milwaukee and Ryobi scopes at Home Depot; the M'kee was twice the price but seemed to have better construction and a better display quality. I suppose it depends on how much you want to spend... I've also rented an industrial scope worth $15,000. The reason I know how much it cost was due to a technician employee breaking it.

been thinking about those myself and it appears that the ones on Ebay with the color LCD's are better than the ones found at lowes and home depot.
