A craftsman l# 82141. Worth the $25usd or so?

^those will work for everyday testing without a problem..

R&N Electronics on Cipero St has a few decent ones for a reasonable price.. i bought a simple digital one like what you posted for around $250.. it has all of the features plus selectable ranges, temperature measurement & a protective covering..

^ that's a nice saw!

my old blade was quite dull (used it to cut down some coconut trees Shocked

) so i bought this one just recently.. and was abit surprised to see it's quite similar in design to the Bosch blade..

Click for full-size.

this blade has smaller teeth than the regular Black and Decker standard blades.. hopefully it should provide faster neater cuts..

^^ Makes no sence to use carbide tipped blades... What are the benefits vs costs?

Anyone ever had to calibrate a DMM? Cheap thing reading a little off I think, either that or Ive got a 15.6v fed amp..

so anyone ever had to calibrate their DMM?

My new one give me a reading of 3volts more than the previous one...Either one of the meters are wrong or I changed a fuse and got 15.xx with the music, ac and headlights on.

Try a new battery in the meter.

kurpal_v2 · Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2009 10:40 pm Post subject:

How that affects it? Im just asking...

silent_riot · Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2009 11:00 pm Post subject:

IIRC the digital mutlimeters take their reference potential from the battery. So if that is off, the readings would be off. In my meter i used to get 17V when the batt was bad. I changed the batt and readings were normal.
