The instructions are not kidding, the batteries in the charger really do get hot while charging. In fact, they
got so hot, I was barely able to touch them when removing them. I think I’ll hold onto the batteries, but only use
the charger when supervised.
I just logged into my Amazon account and saw that the price on the IF25A has dropped to $35.69 with free prime shipping. This is available with the 21700 battery included and 4000k and 6500k models. It also shows in stock .
UPS just delivered my two each $3.19 extension cords. Not USPS butt rather UPS ground. That had to cost as much or more than I paid for them. Very nice for thrice the price. Better than me hunting down an adapter to fit my three prong device into my two hole extension cord. I use indoor cords for outdoor Xmas decorations every year and not been ’cuted yet, shivered a time er two tho. CLEAR!
Been wanting a low-DC clamp meter for awhile and waiting (and waiting) for a better price on the UNI-T 210E. Labor Day discounted prices still going on although the price increased a tiny bit. $48.22 right now after a 9% discount on the listing for the newer “Pro” version. Price dropped a bit on Sunday and I got it for $42, received it today. Nifty little device and my only complaint is that the backlight has a very short timer and apparently no way to keep it lit. Comes with decent but average cheap leads. Got a line splitter while I was at it and played around with AC amps tonight. I know that most motors briefly draw a considerably higher current on startup even if they aren’t capacitor start, but it was surprising to see the numbers on various tools. Going to take it to the office tomorrow to check laser printers and dreaded space heaters. Eventually I’ll get around to using it on flashlights.
Nice Uni-T meter. FYI, Triplett makes a line splitter/outlet checker combo that works great. Search Amazon for Triplett AC Line Splitter and GFCI Outlet/Receptacle Tester with 5 Visual Indicators (ET200).
