General Tool DCS100 Inspection Camera Review
If you’re a seasoned mechanic and haven’t yet checked out the General Tool DCS100 Seeker Wireless USB Video Inspection Camera System, trust us, once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without one. How often have you wished you could bend your vision into those small, dark places such as inside the engine block? Just think of being able to inspect the top of a piston without even having to pull off the cylinder head! Well if saving that kind of time and effort sounds like an impossible dream — get ready to wake up and smell the coffee – and even have time to actually drink it!
Key Features
The General Tool DCS100 Inspection Camera has the ability to transmit a picture from 30 feet away so users can view it on their computers. Its 3-foot flexi-cable is tipped with a camera that features an adjustable LED that allows users to see where they wouldn’t have seen before -well, without a whole lot more effort anyway.
Having the ability to control both the direction of the probe as well as the amount of light is an important attribute that comes in pretty handy and is unique to the DCS100. And before we forget, let’s also mention the available add-on tips such as a 45° mirror, magnetic pick-up and a hook tip as well. Speaking of add-ons, there’s also an extension that will lengthen the 3-foot long probe to the length of 10 feet. When it comes to comfort, this device is easy to hold and maneuver. The lack of a built-in video screen makes it lighter than other models.
Whether you’re looking in engines, plumbing, walls, etc., the DCS100 can get you there and with the add-on cable, can get you even 10 feet further than you would have gotten without it. It’s dust and waterproof which is great for walls and pipes. Having that kind of vision-ability means saving both time and money since there’s less damage when walls don’t have to be removed to see what’s going on behind them.
Overall, this is a decent, easy-to-use, worth-every-penny product that once you use and witness for yourself how little effort it takes to get into those hard (or impossible) to see places, you’ll wish you would have bought one sooner.
