I bought one after talking to mdshunk about it. First time I needed it ,it paid for itself. I use it often when I could probably get by without it. Provides some peace of mind at times.:smile:
First time I used it, it was to trim out a house that had a fireplace. When I roughed it in, there was no FP installed, so I just coiled the wires up and laid them in the opening. I (foolishly) thought the FP installers would at least run them into the unit. Wrong!
I show up to trim, and found out they just pushed the wires out of the way, slammed the FP in, ducted it and beat feet. All I had was the hole on one side for the gas line. I had purchased the SeeSnake a week before, with no particular need in mind. Once I found what happened, I went out to the truck and pulled it out. Into the hole the camera goes, and wah-lah.. .there's all my wires..... A short scrap of #12 with a hook on the end, and within 2 minutes, I've got the wires into the bottom of the fireplace!
No way would I have been able to do that without it. My only other option would have been to abandon the wires I had installed at rough, and fish new ones up from the unfinished basement.
