expensive, if I am spending that much money I’ll be buying Fluke.
needs an app, which means I can’t measure and talk to some one about the problem on my phone, or I need 2 phones
expensive and not Fluke, HP, R&S etc. Have I said expensive?
and anyone who has such a flashy webpage that immediately plays video BUT DOESN’T TELL ME HOW THE DAMN THING TALKS to the app. is a failure of somekind. That webpage is all schmooze and shiny, shiny with b-all detail.
There’s no physical address / contact info listed… and they want big moolah but give no location… oh the warning sirens are sounding.
Yes, 27 years is really disappointing. My fully manual Ersa that you heat up for every solder joint with a switch is still going strong after 49 years…..
If you are looking for a “cost-efficient” DVM (Scotland isn’t that far north of Yorkshire and I think we share some “value for money” traits) - I can’t say it’ll last 25 years or even 5, but this one (ANENG 622B) is quite solid in the hand and since I bought it, it has dropped even further in price:
Actually I have a vintage RS soldering station that I obtained second hand about 30 years ago. I was considering discarding it for one that was designed for lead-free solder until I discovered that it was quite happy with the stuff. I can sympathise with the original post, if it failed I would lose an old friend.
