Wasted $200 on a cheap borescope and learned my lesson the hard way
Bought one of those $40 borescopes off Amazon last month to check some cylinder walls on a Cessna 172. Picture quality was garbage, couldn't even tell if I was looking at scoring or just dirt. Ended up borrowing my buddy's Snap-on scope and saw the problem in 2 minutes. That cheap thing is now just a paperweight in my toolbox. Any of you guys had luck with a budget scope that actually works or am I better off just saving for the good one?

Follows the same rule as cheap tools and cheap advice, both cost you more in the long run.
