Do you have a task that requires inspecting or working on something in hard-to-reach places? Is there an item you need to retrieve in a cavernous location? Professionals have used — and still use — animals, including trained snakes, rats, fish, dogs, and ferrets, to locate and retrieve lost and damaged wires, as well as pull wires through. But this practice is becoming less common because of ethical and safety concerns for these creatures, with many turning to inspection cameras for help. A tool like this is invaluable for DIYers, as well as professionals including mechanics, home inspectors, pest control businesses, builders, electricians, cablers, plumbers, HVAC technicians, manufacturing personnel, aerospace engineers, archaeologists, geologists, mining professionals, welders, art restorers, agricultural professionals, marine biologists, fire inspectors, law enforcement and security professionals, and many others in various fields.
The Cable Ferret Inspection Camera and Cable Tool Kit available at CableOrganizer®, saves professionals and DIYers time, as well as the headache of figuring out the unknown. It may avert having to take down a wall or pull back a surface to troubleshoot a problem. There is a reason the Cable Ferret is equipped with the motto, “Smart tool. Smart Choice.” This compact borescope camera has a thin, long, and flexible tube, with six bright LEDs in three levels to illuminate areas, even when total darkness is ahead. Like the curious animal it is named after, which is adept at maneuvering itself within tight spaces, the bendable unit can navigate around corners for a better view; and comes with 10 times a greater reach than regular videoscope cameras. The Cable Ferret is equipped with a rod, hook, and magnet, with its brass thread adaptors suitable for most fish sticks. The magnet can grab metallic objects. Its hook can pull cabling in half the time. This crafty unit comes with a flexible gooseneck rod that enables the user to capture a view from different directions into gutters, under a vehicle, or in an endless array of other places. Overall, the Cable Ferret Wi-Fi creates a safer and easier work environment.
This snake camera has Wi-Fi capabilities, 720p high resolution, and a wireless range up to 40 feet. It is capable of streaming real time video onto a phone, tablet, or other device, using a videoscope and intuitive app. The Cable Ferret Inspection Camera and Cable Tool Kit saves images and videos to the gadget you’re using, which also simplifies emailing or texting details of the issue, inspection, or work performed.
