Great collection, must go and stick my nose in my Fluke box and see what little bits I have collected. I do have the Kew lamp holder adaptors for initial verification but I know you and Nigel don’t like getting your digits near that wiggly voltage so will pass over them!! 👍
I seem to spend half my free time looking at what an electrician should have in his toolbox. I use the other half of my free time buying the tools I should have (not necessarily need). The last five months I've spent £4,500 and now have 8 carry with me, everywhere I go, essential tool boxes. Thanks for your help to expand my, can't live without tools, again... 😁😷👀💉 The wife is moving into the caravan next week, to make room.
Good point, I got caught out on a job at the start of the year where I needed to check a motor capacitor and had nothing on the van that would do it (I had a meter back at base, but didn't have it with me). I've subsequently bought a new clamp meter for the main toolbox which measures capacitance, so that'll be in the next vid, although I covered it more specifically in my Klein clamp meter video.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with such a notebook. Mine's not an iet one tho and lives in my pocket with the phone. Good tip on the mini clamp meter... Might get myself a Chrissie pressie.
Good video David. Well prepared. Emptied of all the bits of insulation and sheathing waste. No SWA strands. No bits of connectors or bits of plastic tape. My main advice, don’t buy an open Stanley type box. They end up as a portable bin. You spend more time routing through waste (in the dark) trying to find something tiny! Lol! You’re right to have a few tool boxes. They are a bit like women’s hand bags. The bigger it is, the more crap you never use will fit in it! Lol! Thanks!
So true, I don't like the open tote boxes: as you say they get full of dusty crap and you have to dig down to find anything! The Stanley box I use I'm really happy with - just need a bit of time to flash it in front of the camera in the coming days!
Yeah, I've got a cheap head lamp, but I've never invested in a better one as I don't really use it. Dunno why, it's a handy way to cast light where you need it, but I just never got in the habit of using it.
Nice video. Really enjoying your channel. Don't know what it says about me that I am an electrician, watching electrical videos on a Saturday night, though! Haha.
I bought the armeg set last year, came time to calibrate it and got told they are no longer calibratable. Given yours is an earlier model it probably is calibratable but I was greatly disappointed with Armeg.
That TIS meter has the hallmarks of a poor DMM chipset as the reading overshoots significantly before settling. I've found this with most TIS gear, the autoranging and settling are awful.
Y'know, I actually made a van tour video right after your excellent suggestion in the summer, but I wasn't happy with the end result - 45 minutes and far *far* too much waffle. I was going to edit it down, but I think I'm going to have to pretty much start from scratch as I've since made some changes to what's on the van. At present it looks like a grenade has gone off in there because of the usual pre-Christmas chaos, but I'm hoping to have some time over the holiday to tidy it up and reshoot something that works better.
I have posted the same.thing on davids other videos. I love this guy so well delivered, carries the viewer through his journey perfectly, verbally magnificent that keeps chained to my seat
A company called Flambeaucases: www.flambeaucases.com/gear-boxes ...well, in America at least, and in different colours. UK wholesalers like CEF may have the Fluke version available as a stock item that can be ordered in.
Funnily enough, I thought the same when watching it back. That's a dummy board though, only one circuit is wired so I didn't think ahead to flip the others on for appearance! Still, it does what it says on the tin!
My Metrel multifunction tester supports three phase rotation. I do also have a TIS 415 phase rotation tester which I bought before I got the Metrel, but there's no need to carry that around any more.
