Re: Who Has The Ridgid MICRO Sea Snake?


HOLY SMOKES!!! For only 200 bucks, I'm ordering me one on Monday. That would be totally awesome for an electrician to peep inside wall and ceiling cavities. Ridgid is really missing half their market by not running ads in electrician magazines for these things also. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a decent borescope, but this is even better. Wow, is all I can say.

We purchased one at work for the tool crib. I don't think we have used it yet. It will be handy for looking at the guts of equipment without tearing them all apart.

I picked up one the other day at the orange box for $195 and I have been happy with it so far and have used it daily since.
