Cool. We think the same on alot of things. My dad owned a hardware store, so I grew up with the best tools he sold. He really knew his stuff. I guess it rubbed off on me. BTW, I’ll be 66 years old May 2nd.
Turning 60 soon but I still ride motocross bikes so at least I feel young! Yeah, you just can't beat quality tools in the long run. Your lucky with your dad owning a hardware store, many peoples dream really.
good thing you got the 5Ah batts, the one on the saw wouldn’t last long.
I got a couple 6Ah FexVolt ones from Amazon for $150 some time ago.
Last much better in my circular saw, vacuum and weedwhacker.
I like the yellow n black.
sorry to say, but IR temps are never accurate anyway
materials all have different IR emission constants
metal, water, ceramic, food, ice, skin - ALL DIFFERENT
found out the hard way
well not really but after i got an IR meter, i wondered why boiling water was never 212
the outside of a glass bowl or cup, with boiling water would be different from the water itself
, a coffee cup would read something else still
not just 1 or 2 degrees but for boiling water, it is like 30 deg F difference!
anyway
the meter does not know what material you are trying to read, either
Happy 75th! Anyway, my drill came with (2) 2 amp hour batteries. They last long enough for my needs. I figured the 5 amp hour batteries will be a better choice since I have to repair my fence which will require a lot of cutting. I paid $107.99 for 2 brand new genuine Dewalts.
You got the 63 max plus. Mine is just the 63 max. Yours is more feature rich, and slightly more accurate than mine.
BTW, I downloaded Fluke’s Emissivity Chart… Thanks!
Thanks. It’s no Fluke, but I like the 22,000 count resolution, and out of the box, the accuracy is fantastic, according to my little voltage reference rig. I like that it has a simple calibration pot, in case it loses accuracy over time.
And several of these (magnetic oil, transmission and differential sump plug; most sumps already have magnets build in, but as you know these screws add huge street cred and add massive wheel horse power )
I had to buy something and didn’t have a need for flashlight parts.
I checked it out because of your post… And it’s not leaving my head for a while I guess (until I purchase it I guess ). HKJ just posted a review of a high end Japanese DMM… That sucker costs like $1000, haha no thank you.
Maybe I should get a UNI-T DMM and clamp meter too.
Depending on your budget, Brymen 867S is a really nice one for about $175 - fast, accurate, great protection, and 53,000 count. HKJ posted a review of the higher end Brymen 869S not long ago, but the two are very similar.
I have a UT61E for 6 months now and I like it a lot. I like the fact that when you switch it on the first click takes you to DC measurement. It’s quick with continuity checking to
