1. Amazon — Teslong Borescope w/ Monitor

This features a solid rod for easy use in barrels. It comes with an self-contained high-definition viewing monitor so no phones or pads are needed. In the 7/3/21 video below, Gavin Gear reviews a Teslong Rigid Borescope. This is a “must-see” video if you’re considering buying a borescope:
If you’re looking for something more portable and a bit more versatile, try the Teslong Flexible Borescope, $99.99 including monitor. This can also perform a variety of inspection duties for your home or business.

If you’re on a tighter budget, we recommend the comfortable Howard Leight MAX-1 orange NRR 33 plugs. You can get 50 pairs for $9.50 or 200 pairs for $19.99.
What is the most-used piece of equipment on this Editor’s reloading bench? No it’s not my Rock-Chucker press, my priming tool, or even my calipers. The one item in near-constant use is a small, folding magnifying glass. Mine folds into a square case and offers 4X viewing with an 8X bifocal insert. With this handy tool I can inspect case mouths for burrs, check primer pockets, inspect meplats, and look for flaws on bullet jackets. I also use the magnifier to see rifling marks on bullets seated into the rifling, or check my bolt for galling. The number of uses is nearly endless. I keep one magnifier at my reloading bench and another in my range kit.
