Product Description

Heating and cooling accounts for about 50 percent of your energy usage, but the average house has enough leaks and drafts to equal a 1 sq. ft. hole. Cut down on wasteful spending with the help of the Thermal Leak Detector from Black and Decker .The TLD100 is an infrared sensor that finds these leaks along walls, molding, ductwork and more. Auto color change provides quick, intuitive feedback, showing users where to caulk, insulate, etc.

The Black & Decker thermal leak detector helps you increase the efficiency of your home's insulation by finding leaky areas that can lead to higher heating and cooling bills. You'll instantly identify problem areas around drafty windows and doors, and uncover hidden leaks and insulation "soft spots" around your home. Check windows, ducts, and walls with the thermal reference light that indicates hot and cold spots. You can even use the detector to diagnose engine misfires or check your refrigerator and freezer settings.

Easy-to-Read Color Coding and Screen
The thermal leak detector makes it easy to monitor your home's energy efficiency by finding areas that let heat out and cold air in. Simply set the detector's temperature tolerances to one, five, or 10 degrees and scan the light across the area you want to inspect. The light will change to red for warmer spots and blue for cooler spots to detect air leaks in both warm and cool weather. The detector also displays temperatures in either Fahrenheit or Celsius on the LCD screen. Check for drafts or leaks around your fireplace, recessed lighting, electrical outlets, along floor molding, or any place that may have improper seals, caulking, or seams that aren't immediately visible. An included booklet gives you tips and instructions on how to seal leaks and improve insulation.

Cut Energy Bills and Improve Your Home's Efficiency
Sealing the leaks and improving insulation in your home can help you save as much as 20 percent on your heating and cooling bills. An efficient, greener home will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, increasing its resale value.

Multiple Uses to Handle Uncommon Tasks
Use the thermal leak detector to check your refrigerator and freezer temperatures and efficiency. Diagnose engine problems related to overheating or coolant leaks to avoid costly repairs and mechanic bills down the road. The thermal leak detector can also check the operation of your HVAC system, so you can perform preventative maintenance as needed.

The Black & Decker thermal leak detector is covered by a two-year warranty.

LCD Monitor Wireless Waterproof Snake Plumbing Sewer Inspection Camera with 2.5 TFT-LCD Color removeable

The downside is that this particular camera does not store the photos onto a SD Card of any size. However, the Snake Camera & Light are very Good. View More Wireless Waterproof Snake Plumbing Sewer Inspection Camera with 2.5 TFT-LCD Color removeable LCD Monitor

This item was presented as a new item, but when I received it, it had been used by someone with greasy hands which led me to believe this was a used item that I sent back, as a Federal employee, we are not allowed to purchase used items.

We use this as a 'quick and dirty' method of looking into animal burrows and although it's adequate for visualizing larger critters, the lens of the camera is definitely not suited for much abuse. After about 6 months of light duty, the image appears mildly unfocused and it's difficult to see the LCD screen in any sort of sunlight. Makes me wish I had purchased a tool with better quality imaging but it fits the bill if image quality is not of utmost import but low price is.

This camera works great! it works better that some I have used that cost more than $300. The wireless display really makes this camera much easier to use than the one that are wired to the snake. Great picture quality and a great deal.

These seem to be hit or miss with quality... mine missed. The image is so blurry that you cannot tell what you are looking at even when you are within inches of it. There is no way to focus, the LED lighting is supposed to be adjustable but is really off or on.

If you can't get a good return policy, I would spend a few extra and get on with a better screen. Luckily I was able to return mine.

The cable thickness does limit what you can use it for, but it's meant for looking behind walls, etc. and it does that job perfectly. It's fairly sturdy and the camera does not bend much, which is exactly what I needed it for.

For the price, this is the best product of it's kind that I could find. The LCD is removable, so you can hold it about 20 ft or so from the actual camera, and you can TV out the output of this to a laptop or recorder.

Quite good for the price. Maybe next time they will make the cable smaller and more flexible. Till then, this is a great deal instead of an awesome deal.
