Suggestions for mechanics stethoscope

[Donald]

Looking for a mechanics stethoscope for under $50. I see some electronic ones for just under $50. Looking to find potential issues with something driven by the serpentine belt in my I/O boat engine.

I have some mild hearing loss but no hearing aid. (Yet).

A very long screwdriver is only a few bucks!!! I kid, but they are useful and effective for tracking down serpentine drive issues.

I use a wooden handle broom.

For best results, place the end of the broom handle on your target, not the broom end. Just sayin'.

I second the harbor freight version. It’s quite uncomfortable in the ears but works good and is cheap
