    Leatherman 40% off (Max 3 items) for First Responders, Medical Professionals, Military/Veterans, and Teaching Staff/Students

    Glad to help! I got a Surge as well and was quite surprised with how heavy it was. I now understand why some of my camping friends said it was too heavy for backpacking.

    Leatherman 40% off (Max 3 items) for First Responders, Medical Professionals, Military/Veterans, and Teaching Staff/Students

    Forgot to mention, I received my multitool and it is great! Didn't realize it already came with a sheath so I ended up with two.

    Leatherman 40% off (Max 3 items) for First Responders, Medical Professionals, Military/Veterans, and Teaching Staff/Students

    As the title states, Leatherman is offering a 40% off discount for First Responders, Military/Veterans, Medical Professionals, and Teaching Staff/Students. The categories do require verification via a 3rd party (SheerID) which may be a killer for some people, but they seem to be reasonably...

    Tools from the old world

    Fluke owns Pomona. The Pomona 5519A test leads are virtually identical to the Fluke TL71 test leads (just some slightly different stamping around the manufacturer name).

    Wiha 75965 65-Piece Precision Bit and Ratche Set - $53.99 at KCTool

    Really really NICE and compact setup! I have the exact same ruler, just badged Precision Engineering Inc. (the OEM for that ruler). I need to throw that in my case as well I am happy with the PicoFinish handle for now since it is ESD. If I decide to upgrade in the future, I will look for a ESD...

    Wiha 75965 65-Piece Precision Bit and Ratche Set - $53.99 at KCTool

    FYI I just checked out the new picofinish handle it is far better than the old System 4 one. It functions better, has an integrated magnet, fits my hands better, and best of all it is easy to insert and remove tips. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Which fluke?

    As I stated in my previous post, they look like TL75s. TL75s are are one piece construction, though, as I stated before, Fluke does have slip on alligator clips for those probes. Personally, I would go with ProbeMaster as well. I really really like them. The only reason I didn't suggest them...

    Which fluke?

    To clarify on this, Fluke owns Pamona and a number of Fluke test leads are rebadged Pomona and vice versa. Also, those look like TL75 leads. AC175 is the part number for the slip on alligator clips for TL71, TL75, and TL175. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Which fluke?

    That is correct. Fluke updated the ADC between the III and the V (which is why the V is 6000 count resolurion). Honestly, almost any modern meter is capable of AT LEAST 1000uF with >5000uF being ideal. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Which fluke?

    The 87III lacks temperature, is only a 4000 count meter, has worse safety certification, can only measure capacitors up to 5uF, display/backlight are far worse. Beyond being abused with overvoltages, the biggest issues are blown HRC fuses ($5-15 a piece), the switch contacts wearing out...
