Today was a good day for gifts and liberation.

From a Unknown lifeform, may be human.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I was just trying out my newly-acquired cheap borescope from Vevor. It plugs in to my iPhone, has both end-view and side-view cameras, variable LED lighting, and takes videos and still images. IIRC, the resolution is 1920 x 1440.

Considering the low price (about 24 bucks and free shipping), I was quite satisfied with the image quality from both cameras.

Here's a view from the side camera, looking underneath the throttle linkage assembly of one of my garden tractors:

Here I'm pointing the camera at the fine print on a candy tin:

Image from the end camera. The halftone dots in the printed image show up pretty clearly.

Image from the side camera:

The video resolution is just as good. The frame rate seems a bit slow to me, but for its purpose it's very usable and clear.

There's also a little hook and a magnet that you can attach to the end of the camera for retrieving objects.

Today I've got few bargains

3 rolls of 3M Scotch 23, not the regular insulation tape the self bonding one
25 euro (the price of a single one over here)

An OBD2 scanner and battery tester for 15 euro (60 euro brand new on Amazon)

A little box it probably contained some type of gun accessory like a Red Dot or laser pointer
5 euro (same as AliExpress)

A genuine Knights Armament vertical grip for 10 euro.

A Surefire led torch with history behind.
Bought by an Italian soldier from an US soldier during Kosovo war, most likely it has seen either Afghanistan or Iraq, can't have seen both because usually who went to a place wasn't sent to the other.
10 euro anyways .
Later I'll upload pictures of what already arrived home
But it'll be mostly gun related stuff so here and anticipation

An AliExpress box containing those

The box is a wreckage
The description said Chrome Molybdenum air impact sockets...
But there's a big Chrome Vanadium writing on the cardboard box.
I didn't even attempted to get my money back, I just left a very bad review.
But apparently they didn't allow people to see it

Today, a Pitman book on sheet and plate metal working, a sensibly large Eclipse tap wrench, and , very happily, an ancient British WD issue pocket knife, complete with marlinspike, which cost £1....
ACF-50'd up, sharp, slick, and pocket-ready.
Likely an old Royal Navy issue item, as it doesn't have the screwdirver nose, and has diamond-embossed black fibre sideplates.... look like they were flat-knurled....

Like this one?

 

[harveyp6]

Like this one?

Absolutely exactly the same as that one.....

 

[Seadog]

Mine cost nothing either. It's clearly had some use over the years (dated 1947) judging by the wear to the blade.
