11.11 What did you Score? Flashlights or other Stuff you Don't Need.

bought alot of random stuff, some may come handy, who know :stuck_out_tongue:

I was going to buy BLF A6 since it was now for on sale 18$ (Last week the same light was priced at 28$) but since I’ve heard some bad things about it I decided I’ll pass.

Actually - just the Zanflare F2 for my parents. I was hoping for the F1 but I missed the promo. I also missed a couple of other sales (one of them because Gearbest’s own countdown clock was extremely inaccurate). I also got myself a CHUWI C-100 car charger but that’s before promo codes and it was … cheaper than during officiel 11.11 sales.

Your link goes to the wrong product, but I’m guessing you were referring to this one?
https://www.gearbest.com/multimeters-fitting/pp_399825.html

Do you own any others that are same/similar? I’m wondering about it’s accuracy. Obviously, at this price I’m not expecting miracles, but just hoping it’s good enough…

I am so glad that 11.11 is over - I can’t stand those “massive” discounts on AE…
0.06$ off the old price on a 30$ product - wow, what a deal…

If you know the normal prices of products, you will see that 90% of those “discounts” aren’t really good offers - many sellers put 1-2$ shipping on products, so in the end, you have the same price as before.

BG ang GB give us GLF Users enough discounts, we have 11.11 all year long :smiley:

Thanks Pete, fixed the link.
Between home and my shop I must have 7 various calipers. Digital, Dial and the basic $3 Vernier slide.
I have a good older digital Starrett with 0.0005”/0.01mm accuracy here I will compare it to when the CF one arrives.
I have some relatively cheap ones sub $30 that have been great. Even an old plastic General tool dial (my first).
One cheaper stainless steel caliper I have is in decimal inch and mm but also displays 1/128 fractions. That one is neat, no brain work converting. Nice for sorting drill bits or measuring pipe or bolts.
Don’t have a non-metallic one at home so thought it would be nice for the price. Displays only 0.1mm / 0.01 inch so I wouldn’t call it accurate. But for what I need, if it works it’s good.
Will let you know.

i buy a camping hat and emergency radio

100B and endoscope from GB, also a 4pak of VTC6es for 20bux, dunno if that’s a good deal or not.

Went kinda ape5#!+ on AX, got some relays I needed, some 1800K LED goodies for scrounging the chips, some interesting drivers, and a trio of SP10Bs.

well, the resolution may be low, but it could still be accurate. :slight_smile:

Thanks. By the time you get it, the sale will be over. :slight_smile: I went ahead and ordered it. I don’t own any calipers, analog or digital, so I just wanted to try something.

I’ve had an iGaging Absolute Origin 8” one sitting on my Amazon shopping list for a while now, but at $50+, I never pulled the trigger.

That iGaging Absolute Origin 8” seems pretty nice for the price. Think my old Starrett with same accuracy rating was almost $300 new. I got it used for free.
It may be overkill for a caliper because any machinist would use micrometers for accuracy, not a caliper. Calipers are a flawed design for accuracy.
So, I hear that the $10-15 HFT are fine for general measuring. Just make sure its the +–0.001 not 0.01. Most are very similar in looks and layout. Prolly all made by the same place different branding. Just like the display on the $6 CF model. So the $30 one may be exactly the same as HFT one on sale for $10. If you have a local store you can always take it back.

Yeah I was thinking that when I said I’ll let yo know. But for $6 it’s worth a shot. 350+ reviews and still holding a 4.88 out of 5.00 rating.
I am sure it sill suit the general needs of most.

Eight button-top 30Qs and two Nitecore NBM40s to add to my earthquake preps.

I’ve bought a BLF A6 (3d), a Nitecore D4 charger and 4 Samsung 30Q button-top batteries for my BLF Q8.
It was a very BLF 11/11 day :slight_smile:

Spent about $600 worth of products. Now have to earn them back before next round of sale in a week time!

Most of the deals were crap. Got an $11.00 heart monitor blood pressure watch for my mom. It was marked down from $63.00 but that’s prolly a fake price to make it seem like a good deal.

I’ve had quite a lot of stuff on my AE wishlist waiting for these deals, but most of them where already discounted before, they just dropped the regular discount and put up a slightly higher discount, so it’s good, but not amazing. Many items where not even discounted. Anyway, got a TIP CRI from GB after swearing not to buy anything from them before, but I’ve been softened because of a deal on the utorch ut01 which seems unavailable on the other 2 of the big 3 (BG, GB and AE). Also a lot of accessories and trinkets from AE, and the Lumintop Tool AA and HL from BG. I think I’m done for the year, maybe the Nitecore TINI for christmas

very underwhelmed, personally.
I see news reports of fantastic sales numbers for the day. Can’t prove it here.

I got a Wiha screwdriver set for $18.99 on 11/10 which after the sale they reduced to $17.99
and a GS320 Non-contact Digital IR Infrared Thermometer for $6.99 also on 11/10 which was a whopping $1.00 saving over the Flash Sale price of $7.99

I’m not inclined to spend any time on Black Friday on these sites.

i agree with chinooker. i stopped looking at GB’s “flash sale” items.

I ordered 25 more of these little volt meters. They come in 5 different colors and I ordered 5 more of each. Cost a little over a buck a piece at BG. I have been putting them in battery operated stuff to keep track of voltage. These bluetooth - mp3 players have Li-ion cells that suddenly cut off at around 3.2V. Nice to know when they should be recharged.
