WE liked the Extech’s strong and flexible probe, plus its USP, the removable/rechargeable wireless screen that can be used remotely and, if required, fitted to the magnetic mount.

This is another pistol unit, with the LEDS on the end infinitely adjustable from the roller wheel. When recording to the 8GB card at 30fps (best of five options), the 960 x 240 resolution gave the clearest under-bonnet videos, with 640 x 480 jpgs. But all the unprotected buttons are on the side, so operation was clumsy. Still, its good price took it close to our champ.
