Handheld Inspection Camera

Does anyone know a place that rents one of these handheld inspection cameras? or something similar? I'm currently in San Diego.

My truck has had a loose screw, guessing it's a screw, rattling around in the dash since I bought it, and I've ripped apart 1/2 my dash trying to find it a few times. Now, I think I've located it in a hard to reach area of the heating/ac ducts/box. I've tried fishing it out with a magnet to no avail, even though I'm fairly sure the magnet made contact which makes me re-consider it being a screw. I would like to take a peak in there without ripping out the entire dash if possible.

Thanks

I saw one at my local Homedepot last week. Looks like the wireless version is only $1800 :Wow1:

They had a demo going when I was at Home Depot a couple weeks back. I got to look around inside a maze of plumbing that looked like one of those gerbil castles. Like many tools, if you'll use it enough it will pay for itself, but I don't see myself using one that much.

LOL, if I need one I guess I could borrow an endoscope from the proctologist :sombrero:


If the offending item is in a duct, how about cutting a small access/inspection hole (with a rotozip or dremel or something) and then patching the hole? That might be easier than a full dismantling.

That's not a bad idea. A 1/2" hole saw might do the trick. It's totally out of sight and would be an easy patch, nice flat section....
