New tool?

I ran across this a Lowes over the weekend. Simulated picture looks good (). Think it' too cheaply made to be useful? 640x480 on a 2.7in display, 4 LED's, 60° viewing angle, 1in to 10ft focus. Started to snag it but might be a good thing for Santa to bring. Any thoughts?

That looks nice but as with all these scopes make shure the tip is not too big to get in the hole.
To go thru a glow plug hole it has to be smaller than 8mm. I think about 10mm for an injector bore.
I ruined the cheap one from harbor freight trying to go thru a glow plug hole.
Had that thing less than a hour LOL

They do come in handy. Even the Cheep SeeSnake I sold this last
summer had it's uses. There is one problem and I have this with
my nice Snap-On BK6000. You have to aim the tip where you need it to go.
I was SO spoiled by the fully articulated scope at school. It was small
enough that you could fit it into a spark plug hone and have a look around
with the steering controls.

Now for the santa thing. I have an extra Snap-On BK 6000 that I will
be selling. It needs the video probe repaired. Snap-On said they can
do that and it's a flat rate job of about $120.00 So thinking about that.

I'll put it in the classified section sometime soon.

BTW Snap-On makes a small probe 5.5mm if I recall right
