Bremon Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'm a big fan of Wera myself, have a few kompact kits lying around w so many types of bits I haven't even run into the screws to match. At least I'll be prepared if I do haha. How are the M12 ratchets? I've been debating replacing my low end ones w a better brand name but the power tool addict in me says "Why not M12?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Ricky that is a beaut! Today was a pretty good day for me, started with this kit for $22 from Lowe's: Then I received my brand new $33 Gearwrench tap and die set from CPO! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's accurate but isn't fast enough for electronics repair. I need to sell it because it's in the way. I have two more DMMs at work, one Fluke 12 and a cheap-o store-stock meter.

There isn't much it can't do, it's also lightning fast. I will warn you, it's pretty big and heavy. I've considered the Agilent/Keysight because of the dual display but they don't respond nearly as quick as the Flukes, even the 115. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I have the Fluke 179, and love it. Gotta make room for the 87V one day....lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluke's clamp meters feel significantly less robust than their DMMs. You could use any of the Fluke DMMs as blunt weapon and still check continuity afterward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta make room for the 87V one day....lol The 179 is a pretty great meter too, I was extremely close to buying one a few days ago on Amazon warehouse. I went to buy it about two hours after I found it and someone had already bought it, I think it was $120. Don't upgrade until you feel like you need to, you'll always want something more expensive. Right now I've been looking at scopemeters, I have a lead on a Tektronics but need to go there when the girls are working so I can get a good price. I want a Fluke but $1100+ for a used scopemeter is a pretty expensive personal investment when we have six Oscilloscopes at the shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do that with any decent meter. I've got a few Bosch 7677's that would work great as nunchaku if they were chained together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 .. Decided to try the inkzall stylus since I like having one on me with a pen or in this case it will be on a marker now... it works very well. The ones on the pens I had did not, the rubber would soon tear off.... Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
