Stay tuned for videos about tools and electrical stuff. Tools are thoroughly reviewed, and electrical videos are heavily eduactional and useful. I hope that my videos help as many people as possible. This channel is english parallel copy of my legacy czech channel - Jiří Bekr, that is full of reviews about tools or explanations and tests about electricity.
Hello, very good video! Can it weld aluminum? Or is there a better machine on the same price range as this one, but better 😅 Looking to buy one to assist me in my hobby
Hi, it could possibly weld aluminum with aluminum electrodes without any changes. It could also MIG weld aluminum, but then you would need to change the bowden for teflon one, and use U-groove roller for aluminum wire feeding. The contact tip must be bought of a kind compatible with aluminum, or at least use one degree bigger one (1,2mm contact tip for 1,0mm wire).
Have you tried "A Better Camera" apk by Almalence ? I used to use the DRO mode (close to HDR but a lot faster), and the result is good. "Open Camera" also has DRO mode
can anybody with a brain take this clown seriously. for your information my comment refers to your ridiculous attempt to insert leads into the fluke could you be any more ridiculous. i certainly hope not all check people are not like you, I know slovenia people are normal, you are far from it
Thank you for this great test - but can you share the test results with English column names, and maybe in a Google Sheets format so we can sort/search it? Then it would be way more useful for people. Thank you!
Hey, how come it is so underpowered? I was sort of expecting the same as their cabled one and instead it works as if my battery is half dead. Though battery is new and fully charged. I tried 2 different batteries to make sure it wasn’t the battery. It’s like this heat gun would be ok for what you were doing - shrink wrapping the cable casings, but not for example to peel the paint from the wood, because otherwise I’ll be there all day 😅
Bro, you're way too obnoxious with the fluke hatred its too much its a 87v max ip67 meter get your head straight. Everyone knows it isn't that exaggerating like you did because you hate fluke price's its obvious.. we have used 87v's and hiokis in our test lab for years now and everyone agrees they are both great meters. EVERY one one of my colleagues at work goes for the 87 first for accuracy. Its the standard...
I have been a maintenance and field engineer for the past 36+ years. I would like to say "FLUKE = CONFIDENCE". Other meter brands come and go, better, more features, we've seen them all. BUT the only meter which you can trust when you are cold sweating at 3 AM, alone with a machine and the Customer is waiting for the repair, and the single reading that you take would decide which part to replace and have to make a decision to wait for 1 hour till the part arrives on site, I only trusted the reading from a FLUKE. DEPENDABLE. P.S. I still have a FLUKE 8060AA (1989) working as new. Let's wait for the other meters 30+ years banged and beaten in the field, the judge.
When I make measurements, I always use BM869s "BRYMEN". But when an unexpected measurement happens, I always check it with FLUKE289. When I get external verification and they want to see what the measurement looks like, I always show them the measurement with FLUKE289. I never have problems when they see FLUKE! All instruments are calibrated, certified, but only with Fluke I have no problems. This is the bare reality!I don't know HIOKI, it must be a very good instrument. The BM869S is also an excellent instrument, both are better than FLUKE. But are they equally reliable, traceable, calibrated, credible, stable when you compare them with FLUKE?
I always say : Want to pose before someone? Wanna look professional? Use Fluke visibly. Want to get something done? Use Hioki (same applies for Brymen, they are equally good, but their high end models use 9V batteries which I hate) Fluke doesn't innovate and doesn't fix mistakes. 87V Max is full of mistakes, and their voltage VDE testers too. They could get me killed few times. Now I carry two voltage testers in my toolbox. Amprobe for when I want to work in the cabinet, and Fluke if some tuxedo snob was looking.
@@bekrstechnologies speaking of 9V batteries, I use a rechargeable 9V battery that has two lithium cells in series inside with a USB charging port. no dc-dc converter on the load side, power comes straight from the cells. works perfectly with my BM869s and a couple of other instruments. and one charge lasts a long time! additionally, they do not leak. these rechargeable batteries made be unhate the 9V battery form factor. absolutely recommend them.
I was just about to buy the Fluke 17B+ but you've completely changed my mind on it while also serving up some hilarious offhand commentary. Keep it up!
Would it be a bad idea to replace the AAAs in the UT61E+ with a li-ion battery paired with one of those voltage conversion modules that raises the output voltage to 5v or 6v?
Hello from Australia :-). Thanks for your detailed review. I picked up one of these on eBay, I wish it was easier to buy Japanese products, I usually have to buy them in Japan but tool shops usually never have specialised tools like this. If you ever visit Japan, check out the tool shops ;-)
Hioki has some official distributors, who are the only ones for given area. It sure has some advantages and disadvantages, but at least, one can get them the most official way with support etc.
LOL... Fluke is very good but it is indeed overpriced... Amprobe (also owned by Danaher, same company that owns Fluke) is great; Flir, Testo, Hioki, Sanwa, Ideal, CEM, Greenlee, Klein, Brymen, Extech, Southwire, Uni-T, Voltcraft, Gossen, Ideal, Etc.... are great - multimeters also depend very much upon usage, needs, environment, personalities and budget: outside, inside or bench and personal preferences !!!
Thank You so much for most comprehensive in depth review . As of May 2024 , I want to buy a accurate entry level DMM for SMD electronic component testing and measuring voltages . I have budget of $ 50 . Though looks stunning high tech sexy I am controlling myself not to go for colour bigger screen but will definately prefer backlight colour lcd . As my knowledge is limited I will prefer both auto /manual mode . I have read that kaiweet , multicomp , aneng , uni-t all are actually OEM products . Can you pls. suggest best suited reliable , sturdy dmm with best build quality . I will have to check whether it is available here in India as well as its not possible to import due to high customs duties. Thank you. Keep it up .My best wishes.
For an 4 1/2 digit multimeter, useable for electronics laboratory work, I suggest the Aneng 870 or the Zoyi 303. You can also rework the used voltage reference and use a better one, down to 0.02% is possible then. Mostly, those used voltage references have better companiens, pin-compatible.
The HIOKI 4261 Is not designed nor is aimed at any electronics use. It is simply for the average electricians that won't even need to use (measure) currents in the range of microamps. This is the reason why. And by the way, I've got a Fluke 85 V version and is a fast and a great and long lasting multimeter but as you pointed out has lots of shortcomings therefore I'm gonna "surely" buy a HIOKY 4282 soon. I really like the dual display and the warning functions, more stability, more accuracy, and an overall a much nicer layout and display. Well done HIOKI I'm your costumer.
