Is The Tech Garage bore scope the end all in bore scopes? Well, to be honest, we have used ones with better image quality before, but those cost thousands of dollars and were big and clumsy.
Does The Tech Garage borescope have any shortcomings? It has a limited depth of field, as all optical devices do, and will require that you move the cable back and forth and around to bring things into focus. All borescopes are like this, and you need to get a feel for it. The camera is also inflexible and won't fit into every tight spot, but all borescopes have some sort of limitation in this regard as well. The 90-degree mirror attachment cuts the image size and adds distortion, but hey, most borescopes can't look at 90 degrees of axis.
For the price, nothing even comes close. For $19.95 for the slightly lower resolution but smaller 7mm camera head scope, there is no reason not to have this in your tool box. The $69.95 wireless model we tested is still an essential tool to have we feel. Besides looking to your engine, you can look into your diff, transmission, valve cover, anywhere where you can fit a cable and an 8mm object into.
The borescope can be used to look for lost items you dropped under furniture and to find and fish out dropped bolts in your engine compartment. There are so many uses for this device that the applications are only as big as your imagination.
Personally, we will now be packing this into our race support bag. Every season we run into a few jams that this device would have really been helpful!

I have one of your borescopes. Had it about a year. I don’t remember the model number but I paid $39 or $49 for it. I would like to get another one or two of them for gifts but I can’t find them for sale. Do you still offer them? Thx,Doug
Hi Douglas,
We didn’t sell them, but I don’t see their site available anymore. It looks like they may have sold their company? Unsure…sorry!
I got the EE6000 borescope a few years ago and it worked perfectly then a while back I went to use it and it wouldn’t connect with my phone and I can’t find the app anywhere any idea what to do thanks. I bought it from The Tech Garage it looks identical to what you have on your site. Thanks
My ee6000 will not connect to the internet!!!
i have a ee6000 scope used it a couple times , worked good , now what happens is it keeps loosing the wifi and i have to go into my phone and reboot all the time can you help me
Well….. Looks like I am not the only one left in the dirt…. Went to use my ee6000 today and it didn’t connect.
The app was unresponsive. I tried to get to settings but, nothing. No problem I figured I would just reload the app. I deleted the old app then went to the app store to only to find out there is no HD See app any longer. WTF! I guess I am stuck without a borescope now.
unit won’t work, will not charge, will not connect to the internet, QR code is invalid in the US.
Help??
This is an old article, the company may have gone out of business.
Hi,
I purchased an EE6000 from you all back in December 2017. I’ve used it on occasions but now with my current phone I no longer seem to have the correct app and cant get it working. When I searched for HDSEE nothing comes up in the Apple App Store. Can you help me out? Not sure what I’m missing.
Thanks in advance
