Size Does Matter...
I got the Wall-eye because I was having trouble removing a stuck length of wire that ran from a baseboard outlet to the attic. I knew that if I could just see what was going on in the wall I could resolve the problem. I tried using an inspection mirror and a flashlight, but gave up in frustration and resorted to searching the Internet for a solution. That's when I found the Wall-eye. <

>The Wall-eye is a small periscope consisting of a single mirror (you look through the end) with a very bright light (two AAA batteries included) on the end that you stick into the wall. It's only two inches wide so you can stick it into most any hole left by removing an outlet, light fixture, or switch. <

>I gave the Wall-eye four stars instead of five for two reasons. First, the thing was too short to solve my problem. Looking up from the baseboard outlet, I could see the wires go all the way up the eight foot wall and through a hole at the top. But, I couldn't look down the wall from the attic because the sloped roof was in my way and I couldn't get close enough to the wall to look down on the wires using the Wall-eye. If only the Wall-eye had been longer... <

>Second, the Wall-eye is not meant to be serviced except for replacing the batteries. They put the thing together with goofy square head screws and the bulb is glued into place rather than screwed into a socket. I can always return the Wall-eye for warranty repair if the bulb goes out, but I'd rather be able to buy a new bulb at Radio Shack, screw it in, and get back to work. <

>To solve my length problem in the attic, I fashioned my own periscope out of some PVC pipe, a small flashlight, and a mirror. The optical quality isn't as good as the Wall-eye, but in my case it was the size that mattered. <
