Heads up on those new flexible camera rods
I bought a set of the 20 foot flexible inspection rods last month for about $180. Figured they would be great for tight flues and seeing around bends. First real job with them, the camera head got stuck on a broken tile liner edge and the whole thing just twisted up inside. Couldn't get it out, had to cut the line and leave it. Cost me half a day and a new camera. Has anyone else had a bad experience with these, or found a brand that actually holds up?

Yeah, that's the thing with all these new flexible tools. They sell you on the bendy part but never mention what happens when the bend goes wrong. Seen it with plumbing snakes too, just a twisted mess when they hit a real snag.

Twisted mess is right, been there.
