Left side, as a right-handed person. It just seemed more convenient at the time, although I would probably be fine either way.

You'd still need a lot of extra circuitry to turn your phone into a halfway decent DMM though. If you open up the basic fluke models it's 99% measurement circuitry, which is obviously not included in a smartphone, and just a single chip that does all the thinking. The main use of connecting a...

In europe the voltage between the phases and neutral is 230V these days.

I don't know where you live but if you're in europe you can order them here: https://www.kruis.nl/onderdelen/metabo/bde-1100/v1

If you're in a pinch you could also create a adjustable voltage divider with a simple potentiometer. This only works well for devices with a low power draw though and you may also need an inline resistor depending on the min resistance of the pot. Also any led that's in some kind of device...

Yeah that's also possible, but then again even the cheapest lab power supplies tend to have a current limiter these days.

It essentially limits the output current, so for example if you set it to 1A you could short the terminals with a wire and it will lower the voltage so the current does not go above 1A. This can be useful if you're trying to test a device that might have a short somewhere.

You could get just an adjustable switch mode power supply, like the one on ebay. (These are also called lab or benchtop power supplies) Here's another example that might be a bit better: https://www.circuitspecialists.com/csi3005sm.html Like the other poster said a computer PSU is also an...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm currently leaning towards the stahlwille sets with fine tooth ratchet, especially since I also have a set of their open/box wrenches and the tolerances on those are near perfect. I'll try to check them and also hazet/gedore out in a store at some point before...

Ethically speaking, if the tool didn't work in the first place it shouldn't matter if you open it up, as long as you put it back together correctly. Unless a device has to remain sealed up for it to work correctly like a harddrive or something. In this case the seller is clearly in the wrong...

Does anyone here know the COO on this facom 3/8" ratchet? I'm trying to find a simple set of 3/8" sockets + ratchet that's made in europe around €100~€150 but I have a hard time finding out which of the european brands still make their ratchets in europe, many of them seem to be from taiwan. I'm...

Mitutoyo has nice vernier calipers with metric+inch scale, for example the 530-104. They are a different style of caliper than the brass ones though so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.
