Bought a $90 inspection camera for a tight hoistway and it paid for itself in an hour

Was looking at a weird noise in a packed machine room and couldn't see past the motor. The camera on a bendy cable let me spot a worn sheave groove without taking everything apart. What's your favorite tool for jobs where you can't see a thing?

My old magnetic pickup tool has saved me more times than I can count.

Mine just seems to attract every stray screw... except the one I dropped.

You spent ninety bucks on that thing? That's a serious gamble for a single use tool. Glad it worked out for you though.
