Reading in LRO this month Aldi has a hand held boroscope for £39.99 with free delivery. Just about to order it when I thought I should have a look what else is on the market (I don't have a need right now for it but...).
Plenty on USB and Micro USB boroscopes for PC or Android phones/tablets for less than £15 with better resolutions too. Just saved myself a few quid I recon

I have the Aldi Boroscope, I first noticed it when they were selling it for £79.99..... then one day it was £39.99 so I got it, works great for the simple jobs I've used in on

Hi Ferry,
As has been said a Google for USB boroscopes will pull up dozens of generic models all for around £10 - £15 mark as will eBay and Amazon. All seem to be the same to be honest at that price point.
