Today we are taking a look at the ANENG AN8008 multimeter. This product was sent to me by banggood.com free of charge for the purpose of this review. They also sent me an ESD mat, because I have two benches in here in only one of them had an ESD mat so I needed a second one.
There is also a newer model, the AN8009 which I also reviewed, you can read about it here.

Today we are taking a look at a 300W pure sine wave inverter which was provided for free by banggood.com for the purpose of this video. First we take a look at it’s output on the oscilloscope and then we continue with a teardown of the inverter.
Today I am taking a look at the Owon B35T, 6000 count multimeter with bluetooth connectivity. Together with the iOS or Android app you get datalogging capability over bluetooth for just $60.

I never expected this electronic dummy load to be so bad because I kinda liked the way it’s built and how it looks. Unfortunately it’s way out of spec on the measurements and also has some firmware bugs.

This is my review of the Wowstick 1S battery powered electric screwdriver. The product was provided for free by banggood.com. I think it’s a great tool but I would’ve liked to see a bit more torque.
This is a short review of the S-993A 90W Desoldering Gun which was sent to me for free by banggood.com. I was planning on getting one of these for a long time and I’m happy that I finally got it, it’s very useful in repair jobs as I’m showing in the review video below.

This is a review of the Fei Lun FT012 RC brushless racing boat. The FT012 is actually an upgrade of the FT009. This new version has a brushless motor which makes it very fast at max speed of 45km/h
Checkout the FT012 on Banggood and here is a list of spare parts you can buy for this boat.
Like I mentioned I’m the first to get this board, months before the official release date, this is an engineering sample.
I was lucky to have a good friend of mine, a childhood friend, that works at the raspberry pi foundation. He is the guy that did the layout of all the raspberry pi board you know. So I was having a chat with my friend this week when he showed me this and I just didn’t let it go until he asked the right guy and finally got the approval to let me show this thing on camera.
I’m not allowed to keep it because it’s one of the few engineering samples that exist but we can take a good look at it so let’s go to the bench for a close-up.
Here are some high-res images below, please credit with link to this page if you plan to publish them anywhere.
This is a review and teardown of the LCR-TN components tester. It is a rather new model that comes in the form of tweezers and does a whole range of measurements.
