Default Bore scopes?

I am looking to get one. they are just handy in my job (marine engineer) as getting engine IDs and looking at sumps are impossible without removing the engine
would be an advantage if the end was small enough to go down small spark plug holes (sealey one I tried did not) and have LED lights on the tip of it?

Snap-on one is the best and has a skinny end about 4-5mm and you can turn the brightness up and down for a better view..
