I feel the extreme low cost of this product does justify it's lack of features no problem, and it's reasonable robustness and accuracy are just a bonus. Who needs a tilt stand when you won't feel bad drilling a hole in your $5 device to hang it on the wall? Why ask for a backlight when the amount of money you save will allow you to buy a thrift store lamp for no money instead?
Doesn't have to be expensive to be useful, If I can find one for that sort of price I'll have one, I use the thermocouple on my multimeter quite a lot.
Dear Darren, I would like you to do a Review of the DT8908D multimeter, because it seemed very complete in what it promises, however.... I trust your evaluation more
I am using same from few months on my 2 stroke engine for CHT reading, but my one runs on 9v battery and it get hang after few minutes so need to restart it after a while, may be my one have some problem inside and i need to buy the newer model.

Thermocouples are made with two wires of different metals joined together at one end to form a junction. As the temperature changes, the two dissimilar metals begin to deform, causing a change in resistance.
@@bhushan9066 most common type is Nichrome contains 80% Ni and 20% Cr...due to its wide temperature range. Look at The Seebeck effect for more detailed information 😉👍
@@KeepOnTesting Thanks a lot! So, the change in temperature generates EMF and then some sensors and resistors with the IC do the rest of the calculation I guess.

For those interested: The Brymen 869s multimeter also has a double thermocouple. In the range of -50c+1000c. accuracy 0.3% resolution 0.1c
As does the UNI-T UT181A ..
Dual Temp -40°C/1000°C +/- 1%

Been using it for some years, but mine come with red push on-off button instead of slide switch. It's cheap but works.
Thanks man, I’ll be picking up a few of these for work 👍
Great stuff..👍
Hello. It was fucking cold in december! great that they build this!
like some experts say: expensive is garbage!(sometimes)
probe style pickup with coil cored would be a nice cheap upgrade.
Definitely doable with the aftermarket thermocouple options. 😀

Sage advice Shaun. Hard to go wrong with this unit.

Thx for putting that on my radar Petronio..I just ordered one for review 👍

It's been performing very well, no hiccups as yet. Try another unit and I'm sure you'll be fine. Interesting yours is a 9v unit 🤔
Is it good for measuring the temperature of the soldering iron tip?
Yes, 100%
Very cheap but very useful device
Pffft...No shielding?!😉
Muhahaha....got me 😉
👍
U from speed
Nice review!
Thx 👍

How does it work?
Thermocouples are made with two wires of different metals joined together at one end to form a junction. As the temperature changes, the two dissimilar metals begin to deform, causing a change in resistance.
@@shaunmorrissey7313 so how do they get back in shape after cooling down?
@@KeepOnTesting and what material is used for the junction or sensor?

Cheapo digital thermometer...that makes me so hot!
Haha 😄 👍
Garbage! Mines is off 18 degrees
Yikes..not good.
