Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Oh, c’mon…

“Banana”, “rubber”, “kinks”, “firm”, “mates”, “tight”, etc., how did anyone not see that nipple-thing coming?

That ad was like major-league fapping material.

Alligator clips suck.

Alegator clips are awesome!

W0W… Good information, thank you so much!!!

Have not done it to mine yet, want to have a backup Uni-T. I like it better than my other meters for light work. I intend to enable frequency, ac and dc milliamps and set the back light to always on and set the off delay to 1 hour. I will also calibrate it at the same time…

Just to get it out there… you do need to de-gausse the clamp from time to time as it will make the amp readings more stable. The hall effect sensors build up magnetism from the current flowing through them.

We mod everything around here, I assumed it was common knowledge.

Thank you for the tip about this knife. I ordered without paying much attention at all to the details of it.
I received mine yesterday, it is much bigger and more robust than I expected.
Looks great and well built. Fit and finish are spot on. Time will tell if the “Stainless Steel” blade will hold an edge.
A ZT it is not, but well worth $11 if it does even halfway holds an edge.

Thank you. I ordered the 210E, I think it will fill my needs as I am somewhat new to this flashlight thing and trying to learn by reading a lot. And asking questions when need be of course.
I am finding BLF a friendly place with very helpful people.
As far as the 210E goes, if in the future (after I become more learned) I decide to upgrade it; I will most likely give my buddy who is an electronics guru the info you kindly provided and have him do the work.
Thank you again.

2000 counts = the display can show up to 1999
6000 counts = the display can show up to 5999

That can translate into significantly greater accuracy for the 6000 count meter, if you are taking measurements with several decimal places in them. Example: measuring voltage of batteries. If you are using a multimeter to measure DC voltage of batteries, and your batteries are Li-ion cells (around four volts), the 6000 count meter will give you greater accuracy than the 2000 count meter, because the 6000 count meter can show more digits to the right of the decimal point in the measurements.

Not necessarily. If the meter is designed for and capable of the accuracy, then yes, but there are plenty that just aren’t, despite their display count. And if you mod the firmware on the 210E to a higher count, that won’t improve its accuracy at all.

Not Amazon … but a deal and a half.

Of course “not necessarily,” as there are always differences between the accuracy of various meters overall. I started out by saying that a 6000 count meter CAN be more accurate than a 2000 count meter. I’ll be very clear now: all other things being equal with the multimeters, a 6000 count meter will allow for more accuracy then a 2000 count meter when taking measurements in the circumstances I described in my post, above. That is demonstrated just by doing the simple math.

Higher count improves resolution, not accuracy.

As can be seen on the comparison chart posted earlier, the accuracy between 210E and 210E Pro is exactly the same.

cold steel trail boss axe

Great deal, a few years back it was almost $40 because of wranglerstar’s review.

Hrmm it’s only $1 more on amazon w/o any coupon Amazon.com

If you don’t have prime you’re having to pay tax and shipping on top.

I suspect that you also have to pay tax buying from Rockpals and it’s free shipping from Amazon since it’s over $25 regardless of prime or not.

$175.99 out the door including tax and shipping.

The chart comparing the two meters shows the error rates of the two meters taking various measurements. That isn’t what I was talking about making a difference in the results you get with the two different meters. What I was talking about was not the error rate of measurements with different meters - which is the manufacturers’ way of determining “accuracy.” If you use the accuracy (error rate) information provided by the multimeter manufacturers, you can see the point I was making.

An “accuracy” of 0.5% + 3 digits means that a meter operating according to its operating specifications will produce a value that is 0.5% on either side of the true value, plus or minus 3 of the least significant digits. Applying that error rate to the measurements of a 2000 count meter and a 6000 count meter brings results that prove my point - the difference in resolution of the two meters will result in measurements that are closer to the true value (on average) for the 6000 count meter in the circumstances I mentioned in my first post, above, all other things about the two meters being equal.

That is the result of working with more digits with the 6000 count meter in those circumstances - it is simple math. Quibbles about the difference between “accuracy” and “resolution” are beside the point.
