Mine packed up today with a bit of an arcing/crackling noise whilst teaching my daughter to solder. Suspect it's the power cable since the display was on and off when it wiggled. Also found a sizable nick in the neutral insulation under the cable grip. Totally agree with your summary, build, power, cable length, etc. I've had it a while but with infrequent use. Grip was cumbersome. Found this video really interesting and useful. BTW, R2 on mine was 680 ohms, not that it'll help this late in the day.

I managed to fix this problem in the end and it's not related to lubrication. You have to manipulate the spring inside. I managed to move mine around the cylinder it's wrapped around and the noise is now completely fixed.

Just wanted to say thanks for the review BUT I went ahead and bought one anyway and it's great (so far at least). I am using it for testing four sets of garden lights which keep tripping when on in certain configurations. The readings I am getting when switching on various combinations look to be decent enough (24mA max before tripping), I don't have another calibrated meter to confirm. So, as this is the only review online about this meter I thought I would add a positive review for it. Maybe quality control has improved. Hope this helps someone.

I have just bought the accact same meter and it works perfectly fine it does definitely do the do.

Thank you! Bro My 2024 Volkswagen Taigun had this problem and now after watching your video the problem will be solved. Thanks again

Yes they are available under a number of different brand names they are the same meter from the same factory in china. As with most electrical tests equipment are as well as the big brand power tools

sorry i'm wrong , i only ever use a current tester for load tests , i wish this could do dc current as i need milliamps resolution up to 5 amps

a clamp meter only works by putting one conductor inside the jaws , the current flow down the phase conductor will be the sane as the return on the neutral so putting both in at once cancels the other out

i have just had the same fault R2 , i had this iron for years i got on well with it but alas no more !! , Thanks for your help

PUT THE DAMN CAMERA DOWN AND QUIT MUMBLING.

Thanks so much. Had the same problem on my MK7 Fiesta, but like you said, they're all very similar mechanisms. Used WD40 and the issue is completely resolved. Thanks again.

something wrong with your microphone??

This a CEM product and they are the worse in terms of materials and functioning. Just stay away from this brand.

A quick tip for anyone with a Nintendo Switch: avoid the class 1 Ultras. Your download speed/write is abysmal, taking about 30-40 minutes to move a large game like Breath of the Wild.

What is the name of this honeycomb screen? Where can I find it to buy?

How did you cut the honeycomb?

Si mides los cables en una manguera, mide perfecta, así lo hiciste en la review de la Amecal 9810...el fabricante dice que si son cables sueltos y no manguera, hay que cruzarlos en la mandíbula del medidor.... Tienes que ser más honesto... Este medidor mide igual que el Amecal 9810..

You didn't even do a fair comparison unforuntately so I'm not sure how valid this test is for actually choosing a product. You did a 512GB sandisk ultra a1 VS a 128GB Samsung evo plus, size of the cards affect the write and read speeds

I have been using one of these regularly since the end of 2016. There was a faulty batch and I got mine replaced under warranty. I think it is a cost-effective temperature controlled iron. I found the video informative, in case I need to replace the heating element.

Thanks for the video - really helpful and by using silicone spray grease the noise from my folding mirrors is much improved, though not perfect. Mine is a MK3 superb with auto dimming mirrors.

Good👍

Thanks a lot, that was very helpful. 👍🏽

Unfair comparison

is it different than honeycomb bed?

yes I bought one from cpc 2 yrs ago. only used it once for single conductors worked fine. just tried it over tails gave fluctuating of 115ma -40ma! 30ma RCD sat there not tripping:) I know it was cheap but as you say it LOOKS exactly same as others(Tek, DiLog etc) did you ever find a decent one?

Also, the internal is different (after mirror removal) in my VW Golf 2015

Be careful. In my case the metal clip (on the right side, seen at 0:58) broke because there was an angular force applied while removing. Guess it was not apply some pressure after tilt down as mentioned in the video, but some more information needed

Thanks for the review, saved me from having to return it after buying it. If I am honest I expected a bit better from farnell, they usually try to stock things that perform as advertised.

Pack it with bearing grease.

I have the same issue on audi A3 and I tried to follow your suggestion of using wd-40. And then the noise disappears.... for 1 day, and then the noise happens again...

10 points how many points do you give?

Thanks

Thanks for your test~

Samsung the far way better

Thanks for this! This exact thing is happening to my Camry (although not motorised). I wonder if it would have been more effective to use actual grease over these aerosol sprays as it would last longer?

I buyed sumsung only thanks for your video

Its a good idea to imitate a real world scenario. Drag some big files over and see what happens.

It does say on the cards that the EVO has a UHS speed class of 3 while on the ULTRA is a class of 1.

Can you provide the make/model of the centrifugal fan that you used?

Samsung has almost 2x faster write speed...👍

Hi, I bought one of these and had the same issue. What is the other one you showed on your video?

oh no i buy sandisk card 😔 Samsung microSD card is better write speed is important

What is the material do you cut on your video ?

Where did you get the honeycomb?

Need to speak up or at least clearly. Its annoying to listen to someone mumbling.

a laser lizard!

Thanks for the tutorial! On my car one mirror is folding more than the other, is that the same on your car?

Try testing meter cleanly this way first th-cam.com/video/XTUUijDclWk/w-d-xo.html

Cheers for the review mate, was going to buy one of these but I’m not going to now. Can you recommend a decent one that’s priced fairly?
