4.  Retrieving serial numbers from Honda radio's without removal, for anti-theft code look up

5.  Preliminary brake pad inspection without removing the wheels

6.  Checking evaporators for refrigerant leaks with UV Dye in the system, see the Tracerline fiber optic  borescope kit and view a video with this tool in use

7.  Locksmiths view numbers on the rear of door lock cylinders without removal, for key code look up

8.  With a magnet attachment auto technicians retrieve dropped nuts, bolts and tools

We have noticed an increase in sales to other fields besides automotive. HVAC technicians use fiberoptic borescopes to inspect for mold in ducts and on evaporator coils. Law enforcement uses them to check for contraband and controlled substances under rear seats, consoles and trim panels. Plumbers use fiber optic bore scopes to pinpoint the source of leaks and identify the cause of blocked drains. Electricians use fiberoptic borescopes to see snaked wires through walls, some even attach a hook to retrieve the wire once it is spotted. Exterminators and home inspectors use fiber optic borescopes for termite inspections. Exterminators also use this tool for follow up after an application to verify its effectiveness. Welders use borescopes to check inside vessels or tanks to look for "burn through". Carpenters use them to check walls for plumbing or electrical before using fasteners.
