I have a lot of tools , but I think the weirdest one is the earwax removal camera I bought a few years ago. It cost under $20, and it turned out to be a great inspection camera for poking into various places (it was actually my second device because I dropped a power station on the first one).

I mean, the camera is meant for earholes, but I used mine for everything but ears -- to find bolts I dropped in an engine bay, to peek inside misbehaving gadgets, or to get a view into places where my big head just couldn't fit.

Also: The weirdest tool I own is also one of the most useful (and it's only $6 on Amazon)

However, it had a limitation. It was just a camera on a stick. While I could make the device work most of the time, the times I couldn't were frustrating. So, I've been on the lookout for an earwax removal camera with a flexible head.

That's when I found the Bebird Earsight Plus D39R .

It's made for ears, but it's a perfect wireless inspection camera for DIYers and hobbyists.

Bebird's tagline is "See the best in you."
