    Broach Buster or similar monocular availability

    Anyone have any input on vendors other than 'Broach Buster' that sell a similar monocular that would have the same functionality for a little less $? Trying to buy one for our Chapter and would like to keep the cost down if possible.

    Thanks......

    Never used one of these Nick, but it might offer OK results at a reduced price. Available on our favorite auction site, of course.

    I have no connection with this item. You can do a search on a Carson Close Up Monocular.

      Thanks Tom....Well see how they work. I just ordered one and they weren't very expensive so it's worth a shot.

              I have been using a Carson near focus monocular for about a year to look at engine pads with good results. For the price they are definitely a good buy.

                          None of those really compare to the Original Broach Buster
                          BB's are specifically designed for close focus applications.

                          This is one of those times that you get exactly what you pay for.

                          Specifications:
                          Close-Up Magnification -- 11x
                          Objective Diameter -- 20mm

                          Exit Pupil -- 2.5mm
                          Relative Brightness -- 6.2
                          Field of View at 100M -- 12m
                          Nearest Focus Point -- 30cm
                          Size (mm) -- 34x98

                          Awesome Resolution Power via Aspheric Lenses.
                          High quality, fully coated optics; rubber eyecup; lens covers; strap; and carrying case.

                            Tom, you are more than welcome. Isn't it all about spreading the information and knowledge as opposed to not? I have learned SO much from so many NCRS members that I couldn't count them all to say thanks...
                            I really like the Broach Buster. It is simply amazing in it's clarity and precision (No, I do not own stock in them...lol...) If there is another product out there that works as well, then that's great. I am looking for another 67 coupe and if/when I find one and need to reach for my broach buster that i may donate to your chapter, I am sure I can find one to borrow for my inspection...
                            Best regards

                              I have found that my digital camera works alot better than the B/B
                              and has kinda taken its place.You can blow the image up whenever you want and download it and keep it forever.When you look at a pad with a B/B all you have is a memory(at least thats all i have)...
