Must See. Design flaw Clamp meter "UNI-T"

[ammjy]

i got this UNI-T UT210E in AliExpress. and i opened case. see.

Really Design Flaw. Spring have big tension, but, support wall is so thin. maby 1 mm.

 

Must "Open Disput" !!!!!!!!!!!!

Did it fail?   

It looks OK  to me, the "wall" is braced at either end and appears to have a brace in the middle as well.  My "reckon" as a lay person (not a mech eng) is that it looks about right.

Mine has a small crack also.  But I don't expect it to fail anytime soon, since there is a mating brace on the other half of the case.

Oh I didn't get that the indicated point was a crack I thought it was ridge for bracing.  In that case, yes, design flaw.

Even with the cover off, I have opened the jaws on mine several times without it cracking.  Look at the pictures in the following thread.

Must open disput for something seller hasnt done?! You musnt thinking straight. and you took it apart? beeep! warranty terminated! You are lucky for that flaw, mine (smaller clamp ut202 iirc) was dead by just spending most of its time in the shelf. just wait..

It's not a design flaw. The clamps are not designed to be opened with the back cover removed: the back cover has another, bigger support dent that fits the lower one and distribute the force on a wider surface.

...there is a mating brace on the other half of the case.

If generally the design seems to work for most people, all the more reason you should be given a replacement one from your seller.  The moulding may be defective and crack more.
