no i was kinda afraid it became not a challenge lock

but i guess i have to deal with my blunder

at least i know how it's supposed to be put together now, lesson learned

could have been fixed by googling before i tried, but i had to pretend to be smart

it is okay

i got +0.5 wisdom out of it

i know what i'll buy next!

a chinkshit caliper

Just get the Harbor Freight one if you're in the US

not in the US

ah anyway, it's not an urgent need

Oh. You'll probably end up with the same one either way.

If you find the OEM for this, it's pretty nice. I swap batteries probably twice a year though.

mmm I actually don't think I'll use it all that much (so maybe I'll take out the batteries whenever I don't use it)

Good plan.

how about chinkshit DMMs

Uni-T

ooh this looks ok

PC connect! wow

There are tons of passable meters for $, but if you wanna spend $$ for $$$ functionality, Uni-T.

I have one of their clamps, it's neat. I'd buy more of their meters if I couldn't get cheap yellow stuff.

yeah maybe i can spend once

i mean i'll probably keep it for a lifetime

Get autoranging. And True RMS if you'll use it on AC.

$43.11

Reasonable

i'll wishlist this for now

but this looks great

i doubt i could get a cheap fluke

people know that those things don't really devalue

Fluke sells refurbs or damaged ones to employees for cheap.

Things like it works, but this setting doesn't, or a bad connection on something cheap enough they replace rather than repair

wth is a fluke... oh this one

Electrical DeWalt.
