Buying tools from TEMU ? Let's TEST them! Multimeter, Soldering station, Thermal camera 

This does not work, it might have for the first couple of users, but I have tried it several times over the weekend with a new account etc and its an absolute con, Temu puts bullshit prices up like save £600 on the thermal camera, reduced to £142, a far cry from the £70 price tag. Even the Meter is in the £20 region. @Sorin, Probably need to be wary of quoting Temu in the future, having a proper discount code with a reliable retailer is one thing but quoting Temu discounts (which seem change every time someone else searches for the same item) is pretty pointless.

Temu is bad news. Watch out!

SHOP LIKE BILLIONAIRE. DONT BE A PEASANT. Maybe i got it wrong.

@@dizzy2020 those cat tshirts re something else

I expected this scenario.

classic sorin never reads instructions xD

😂😂​@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei

i was about to comment it too. i bought mine for 3usd.

It does work. You might need to click on his link and spin some wheels in the app.

Me either, soldering station out of stock and the meter is showing as £19.24 and the thermal camera as £142.78.

@@healeydave no its not true. i see 1€ for the multimeter and 99,82€ for the thermalcam. try to click on the link in the description

Yeah. They don't last long. They even sell additional heating elements with cheap air guns.

@@electronicsrepairschool with new acc I get message: "Sorry, only new users can get this coupon."

@@electronicsrepairschool Ok ty Master!

Though I created a new account, I still get the message that coupon is available only for new users.

I give up, ik created 3 new accounts with new email adress and home adres, even with the vpn set on UK i still get the same anoing error "Sorry, only new users can get this coupon."

Deleted my account from temu

@@i-fixsystemsnashik3828 like they will follow proper data protection laws lmao

CCP data gathering :). Same reason they sell certain things like watches that have absolutely no way to adjust the time unless you "install an app." Many products that are missing obvious functions which are enabled only after you install an app (along with its zero day spyware :) ) If it's too good to be true...

@PCEYTube Not true, the fact that they're cheap doesn't make them less in quality. The thermal imager is superior to anything from FLIR below 340p resolution. The rework station is solid, I have been using one daily since 2021 & it works great. The truth is that Western companies just can't compete with the Chinese anymore in terms of instrumentation. The Chinese make better tools for a fraction of the price of Fluke, Bosch, etc. The Chinese tools are also easier to fix.

@@BlazinEmperor I have a FLIR and this camera is awful in comparison so what are you taking about? I have 26 years experience running my company and I'm only trying to help others who may think about starting out.

@@BlazinEmperor Everything is made in china, the argument is moot if everyone goes through china one way or another. After going through the rigamaroo of "cheap" as a beginner myself, I'd never think to suggest anyone to go cheap+china, get what's good, even if it might put a dent in the funds. That's just part of starting a business or going into a special hobby like this, 99% of mistakes i ever made came from flimsy beginner's trap advice like this because i was both ill-equipped and lacked the experience to ""make it work"". Pay once, Learn once, then you won't have to do it twice.

@@BlazinEmperor Just big LOL. You have no clue what are you talking about. Everything is cheap about chinese crap. Starting from plastics and ending with cheap and as few as possible components. Even chinese want to earn profit. You probably haven't even seen any JBC or weller or ersa or even chinese T12 soldering station. And saying chinese make better tools like Fluke shows you have actually no clue about electronics. If you would then you would know what makes Fluke good and why industry uses it everywhere. There are decent price and quality even from chinese, but definitely not the cheapest ones. For soldering it's night and day what you use. If you want cheapest decent quality at least buy T12 station which has heating element inside the tip. For hot air ST-862D is definitely decent quality for the price. For thermal camera InfiRay P2 Pro. For multimeter any will fit your motherboard where voltages are max 20-25V. Anything mains related stay away from it if you value your life. Btw even if you buy cheap multimeter and don't care about speed or accuracy then buy at least decent multimeter probes like probemaster. Makes night and day already.

@PCEYTube How many FLIR thermal inagers can boast of a 25hz refresh rate? Or 40mk sensitivity? Don't mistake the image fusion on your FLIR for the actual thermal image. The updated version of this UNI-T has image fusion, too. As of today, China's Infiray makes the best & and most advanced uncooled thermal sensors on earth. FLIR doesn't even come close. FLIR now shies away from listing the actual technical specifications of its thermal imagers in order to hide their inferiority. I have a FLIR too & I used to think like you, but you can't argue with facts. There are tons of reviews online.

Yes, sure, but I wouldn't worry unless I am using the meter for voltages over 500 V. Plastic is good enough for the mains voltage. 'course you have to be well aware you are dealing with a very cheap tool.

You must register with a new email, otherwise it won't work 😉 Also, You have the option to choose only one of the three gadgets, so choose wisely. I went for the thermal camera.

Exaclty. These come one prices are for new users only.

@@eeledahc I agree

No wont work

@@Vasilica85 No, Temu is a clickbait, says offer unavailable

I placed the order just after your video was published. Not sure if it still works.

I’ve only heard scary stories about these ultra cheap hot air/soldering stations like they are improperly wired internally and can be a serious hazard

@@electronicsrepairschool still the same screen - item is discontinued

I'd say this always depends on your actual components. You don't want to use anything higher than what's usually on those connections not to fry anything. Will 0.9V generate enough heat to be visible? Maybe.

Thats the 8988 model but rebranded

New acc

Sorin could show in the next video how to properly ground that soldering station to make it safe.

I have this meter, it's not sensitive enough to detect wires through walls. You need to be right up against a live wire for the detection to work

​@@CorruptedDogg Ok I don't have this exact model but it is very similar (mk11) I suppose it will be more sensitive. 👍

Sounds the same as infiray and their p2pro camera.

@@juliusvalentinas I also have a UNI-T multimeter that I hate. One of those electronics that you HAVE to use throwaway batteries rather than rechargeable.
