The SeeSnake micro Inspection Camera is capable of seeing inside, underneath and in-between the toughest-to-reach spots. The high-resolution camera head sits at the tip of a flexible 3-foot cable reinforced with a waterproof vinyl jacket. Users manually control the cable and camera, which relays images back to a 2.4-inch color LCD screen.

"This is definitely on my list of must-haves for every toolbox," said Andrew Dan-Jumbo, host of TLC's Take Home Handyman. "Some of the biggest problems lie in places that are obstructed from view or are hard-to-reach. I use the SeeSnake micro Inspection Camera for all kinds of projects to help take away the guesswork and finish any project faster."

Four AA alkaline batteries are included to power the camera for up to three hours of continuous viewing time. Weighing less than a pound, the SeeSnake micro Inspection Camera is lightweight, durable, and fits into most tool boxes. Also included are a protective storage case and hook, magnetic, and mirror tip attachments.

The SeeSnake micro inspection camera has an MSRP of $244 and is available at The Home Depot and other RIDGID distributors nationwide. Visit http://www.RIDGID.com for more information.
