Does Harbor Freight Borescope fit inside spark plug holes?

Merry Christmas!

I think I am going to get this borescope to look in engines (for fun). Will the head fit inside spark plug holes? How is the quality?

The one I used did, but the resolution was horrible. We could barely see a gouge in the cylinder wall. And forget about trying to see the head.

I borrowed a snapon one from a buddy and could see everything once you learn how to move it and figure out what your looking at.

Did you use the HF one that uses a maglight or did you borrow the newer one that I posted above? I hear there was a Russian made one that used a maglight that was not good but I want to make sure the one I posted isn't a bad one.

IMHO HF bore scope is a toy and not for serious work. For professional work use professional tools where ever possible.

...and they cost just a little more than the HF ones

I wonder if any of the parts houses rent these things??

Reviving an old thread to comment on the product.

Yesterday I purchased a HF "Wireless Inspection Camera".
Today I returned it.

The resolution was so bad that it was unusable. Grainy, blurry, out-of-focus.... whatever you want to call it; I call it "useless".

We had a demo Milwaukee "See Snake" inspection camera that I used quite a bit to run data and theater cables in walls, etc. It work very well I thought. About $300.
