1/2 inch brass bolt
To fix a welder ?
The exact reason I keep some brass threaded rod on hand.
It seems these things are put together by limp wristed folk......never trust the work of a sparky with a limp handshake.
Kingst LA2016 from AliExpress for $116.
Works for my budget, skill. Software runs on my linux laptop as well.
Congratulations! I have been using the Kingst for several years. Albeit limited, it works very well for my purposes.
RJ45 crimp tool.
Already got one but I acquired that before the recent trend for through-hole RJ45 plugs (as shown in the pix) so it doesn't cut off the wires like this one. Got fed up of slicing a finger when trying to trim them manually.
There are many of these, hence why I haven't posted a source, ranging from 'gosh, that's a good price' to 'they have to be joking'. I imagine they are all the same and have the same faults - cable stripping is useless, the supplied trimming tool even worse. But they do crimp and cut off the wire ends, which is all I care about. And a bit smaller but still very usable than the traditional style of crimpers.

Nice! that's way better than the "jam the wires in the blind holes and hope they all went in far enough" type.

My set of Wavetek XT multimeters is now complete with the addition of a DM28XT.
Best 200 Mhz handheld oscilloscope in multimeter format, there are better tablets.
It only cost me 22,247 rubles. Which is $225 todate. This same scope is $309 on U.S. market, plus 6% tax. At that price I wouldn't get it, but this low, $225, yes, I want it, I need it.
The SDS1104X-E I bought in the U.S. for $413 plus 6% tax, people will bring it to me in September. Here it costs over $700.
Thus far, the impressions are good. I like it.
Shipping time is ordered August 8, received today August 14. Shipping from Moscow by Shenzhen Shengtai Tools Mall from Aliexpress.

I picked up a Klein from Home Depot for the pass through RJ-45 connectors. I could care less about stripping or trimming, I just need it to crimp and cut clean, which it does. I actually like making my own cables now. Still have my 2000 vintage crimpers, I keep it for nostalgia.
Thus far, the impressions are good. I like it.
"I like it" does not cut it on this forum
Have you tested the 200MHz bandwidth claim?
Have you tested the 200MHz bandwidth claim?
I don't have a capability to test that claim. But there are plenty of youtube videos, 380 Mhz seems to be the last usable frequency --
430 Mhz is the frequency at which signal can't be distinguished from noise.
some camera accessories for my cheap handycam.
this lot had better quality then I expected.
wide angle lens made with aluminum housing & glass optics.
feels solid in the hand. with twin plastic lens caps.
note- telephoto lens accessories is also available for the same handycam.
mic has its own rechargeable battery in its all plastic housing
with switchable modes. usb cable.

Set of mobile phone sized screwdriver heads. Including 1mm torx. Bargain at under ten Brit pounds. Somehow I feel that screws are just getting smaller and smaller. Said Alice...
not sure any of these heads under 3mm will last very long ... you need very high quality bits on these small size.
bought a festool TCL6 charger today, as my 8 years TCL3 charger suddenly died today.
opened it hopping to fix it. alas ... the whole thing is under a black resin... absolutely not fixable, even for some capacitor or mosfet dead.

no dobut yours has a better Mhz/Price ratio, however, considering quality and reliability, with only 60Mhz of bandwidth, the best handheld oscilloscope in multimeter format is the

Bought one for my "mobile lab".

Ordered one of them as I have a small lot of cables to do with a new 10Gig run to the shed (buying that one already made, gel filled & shielded 6A) but then 2.5Gig so moving from 5e to 6 mainly. Locally patch cables or mid length ones are not a thing so a roll of CAT6 is coming too.
Also added a tester because it sounds good 'in theory' TDR and NCV are a few things I don't have and if they work then it is still a fairly cheap tester. None of the cheaper ones appealed and the Klein tools stuff is a chunk more for less locally.

The TDR and POE features would sell it to me (assuming they worked!) had I not already got a Fluke.
