The Wuben E6 is cool. There was a better deal a while back and I got it for about $25.
The UI is severely lacking for an E-switch light. Three modes with memory and double click for strobe.
It’s got a big reflector for an AA/14500 light and that combined with the Osram emitter makes it a serious mini thrower.
Yeah, that’s my main complaint about Wubens (the TO46R being a major exception), awesome hardware, but UIs that cause slow but cumulative brain-damage.
GOLDSTON Magnifying Glass with Light,3 Color Modes Stepless Dimmable,Adjustable Swivel Arm, 5.5 Inches USB
Vipon says less but i got $19.33 in my cart…
I think that’s the same light I paid $27 for in July but brand was CUMKA. Nice deal.
While comparing, I found another magnifying lamp seemingly comparable to the one I posted above. Use code: 2PSM87S7 to bring it to ~$14
Thanks. This wasn’t in the product description, but in a “Compare With Similar Items” set at the bottom, which Amazon cobbles together on the fly. It’s kind of puzzling why they didn’t put this directly in their static chart section.
Anyway, it’s now $19…
Thanks — I already had a version of this one ( 1 is good / 2 is better ) that I made a portable Magnifier with— A block of wood base and a power bank — works great
Got the UNI-T UT210E Pro meter in. Thanks for the heads up on the sale.
Likes: Small(ish).
Matches my old Fluke at the few voltages I’ve tested.
Clamp-meter with 2A range – great for flashlights,
Non-Contact Voltage indicator, didn’t know it had this feature, (one less thing to carry).
Works with rechargeable batts (so no alkaleaks needed).
Comes with a pouch (cheap plastic) that has internal pocket for leads. Pouch has room for extra batteries.
Dislikes: Leads could be more flexible.
Wish the pouch could fit the meter with the leads attached.
Tips on leads only have a tiny contact area exposed – prevents sticking them into wall sockets to test voltages.
To measure a DC voltage takes several steps – Turn on meter with rotary dial, press function button 2 times to cycle from AC Volts to Hz to DC Volts. Wish it went right to DC Volts.
Hz won’t measure faster PWM Freq. Haven’t tested it to see what it will do yet.
Noticeably slower to display a DC voltage than my 1980s era Fluke. As in attache the leads, wait a moment, then see the voltage.
Like it, does more tricks than my old Fluke DMMs.
All the Best,
Jeff
Do you have the link to this? I went back a few pages but did not see this one, only the $18 one.
Have you got a link or code for the 210E Pro? I need a second one before I mod my old 210E, in case it does now go well since it is a software mod.
On my UT210E, the tips of the leads have inconspicuous covers that can be pulled off. You can’t really tell by looking at them. Try to see if you can slip them off.
Yup, the covers come off.
Apparently I’m on a tear…
Magnifying station with alligator clips ~$14+
…or this magnifying helping hands version for $17+
I have no experience with either… YMMV
I got one around Labor Day…ended up about $42 but the price and the amount of discount coupon has fluctuated all over the place.
What’s weird, looking at it without logging in, the price jumped to $58.99 with a 5% coupon (the checkbox). Once I log in there’s an automatic drop to $53-something with “prime savings”, plus the 5%. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed this prime-centric discounting before. Anyway, not as great a deal but you can get out for about $51 with prime. If you’re not in a hurry, keep watching the listing until the price gets a little better. Last I looked the original plain 210E (non-pro) was about the same price or just a couple bucks cheaper but no discounts. I think it was around $44 on aliexpress from stores that are not the official Uni-T store, but then you’re kinda screwed if you get a dud or it fails down the road.
Been having fun with this. The pouch on mine was nylon, albeit the cheapie-cheap stuff with vinyl piping and a zipper that doesn’t look like it’ll be around for the long haul. I bought one of the eva cases for it so I can have some extra room for additional leads and fat wire, plus that line splitter. There are eight million of these cases and “they” can’t seem to measure any of them accurately, but this one was a slight standout for size and turned out to be a perfect fit. Got it for $12 but now it’s $17. Some other brands have smaller ones that are a pretty tailored fit for the 210E (one with a red liner comes to mind).

And yes, as Gchart said, the leads have tip covers. Slide those off and you get the full needle. That also reduces your cat rating (as if these are truly accurate there anyway, but). I’ve got better leads for my other meters so these are just going in the spares pouch but they look decent enough. Haven’t pulled them apart to see what the conductor is like but it certainly seems better than the junk ones out there that are like small hookup wire with maybe 7-10 strands and a blob of cold solder on the nickel.
HKJ thinks the CAT rating may be accurate on it:

By the way, if anyone needs some good clamp leads for meters, these are excellent. I don’t know if you could do better unless you make your own set which would cost a lot more. 18awg high strand conductors, super pliable cover (not sure it’s silicone but it’s not pvc), good fit and great spring tension. Not a deal, per se, but a good price on great leads. Most of the others out there are a smaller wire and can’t carry much current (fine for most things, though). For real hotrod lights you’d probably want to go to a heavier wire than these.

Yeah, I remember reading that. I’ll be the last person to second-guess him, but he also didn’t test for that (the leads…the circuit can be more or less ascertained by looking at it). I think they’re fine for household mains and such but personally I would not trust them with phase work and higher voltages…unless I had to I guess. That said, I have no idea if the primary maker of all these leads/”brands” actually does legit testing for the claims, despite any CE or UL labeling. So many times they do not (our IP-X ratings in lights is a great example, albeit even less regulated than electrician tools)…rather they just put symbols and words out there because they’re “supposed” to, or they may design something legitimately (copy or otherwise) and then never pay the money for testing or subsequent redesign if necessary. I’m fine with that for some things, but not with others.
