Good to see you again Darren. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
Welcome back Derek ! ..😊
We need UNI-T review!! Try UT117C compared with Fluke 117C
Whole lot of UNI-T reviews coming this month !! 😊
Hello Darren. Thank you very much for your honest feedback and quality review of this GVDA GD166b. Let the reviewers who strongly praise this new mediocre model of electric clamps. This is just a multimeter, the operation of the clamps is at a low level due to the automatic selection range of 60 - 600A. Therefore, even the Inrush mode does not work correctly, because the relay does not have time to switch. I will tell those who want to buy or bought these electric tongs. They have an engineering mode from the menu. It can be easily calibrated.
You are really handsome ! ! !
By the way, the 208D electric clamps, which I consider the best for my money, have a feature in measuring current strength. (As well as the younger version 206D) They need to measure the current, as close as possible to the place where they meet. This is a proven and proven fact. This, of course, is bad and should not be like that, but 'what is - that is' It is in that place that they have maximum accuracy (if you need to measure current leakage when we are talking about milliamps). If there is not enough money for Unit, then I can confidently advise you to buy 208D. I have heard that Unit can generally be configured so that their NCV sensor in the center of the room can show the direction of hidden electrical wiring. They have a very sensitive sensor, which is cool.
Thanks a lot Darren. Go to the mail please))
Great 👉 points !! Yes I wasn't impressed by this clamp either. I'm hoping GVDA can improve with an updated release! UNI-T reviews galore coming very soon..with some impressive showings ! Sorry I will reply to your email shortly 😊
@@KeepOnTesting Tnx, Darren. Good luck with the layout of new reviews. I know there's not enough time, but you'll make it)
Thank you for your explanation, my friend. Should we buy the 205d model or the 208d model? Thank you for your answer
Venlab has a Clamp Meter. I'm interested in what you think of it should you ever do a review on it.
I will check it out !
Once again a re-branded Habotest Calmp Meter!
I appreciate your reviews on multimeters. I'm in the market for a new one since my 20+ yo Sears Craftsman with dual indicators (analog & digital) has started giving iffy results. I wouldn't mind spending in the $30 range for a good multimeter and wonder if you could recommend one (or point me to one of your videos that has a positive review)? I'm just a hobby tinkerer so I'm not looking for a top-of-the-line unit necessarily but would like to get the most for my money. Also, would you recommend a clamp style meter over a non-clamp? Meaning can I get more functionality our of a clamp style that wouldn't be possible otherwise? Thanks!
Thanks for reaching out. Check out the Venlab VM-600A, czcams.com/video/bpTUXM1v53I/video.html
It's alot of multimeter for not alot of money. Capable and well made. I don't see any advantages to buying a clamp unless you'll be testing AC lines continuously. The Venlab has alot of functionality!
@@KeepOnTesting I've ordered the Klein 325 based on your positive review of that model. Thanks!
@@HWPcville EXCELLENT choice ! That's a great multimeter with some fantastic features! Let us know how you like it! 👍
Prying that common lead gives me a minor heart attack, but props for them for the security
Is the screen readable under broad daylight though?
Yes, under daylight conditions the display is definitely readable. Slightly washed out but nothing critical.
@@KeepOnTesting Excellent!
Do you think the 205d model is worth buying or the 208d model... which one is better? Are they much different?
Either is a good buy 👌
what do you mean there is no manual mode? if you keep pressing the green func button. that should cycle through each of the functions from amp all the way to ncv.
I wondered the same thing. Other CZcamsr reviews show the functions can be selected manually. I don't think range can be selected manually though, or at least I haven't seen anyone demonstrate that.
Yeah, looks like a hard pass. Seems like they put all the bells and whistles on it but forgot the most important thing and that is to be accurate. I'll never understand meters that fall into this range. They aren't really cheap-o at 40 bucks but for a little more they could have made something worthwhile. I have an excellent clamp meter from Uni-T that was only 15 dollars more and my Klein was a little more than that but functions in an industrial setting. GVDA is in no man's land. Fine tune it for 55 bucks and make a real competitor to good brands. Ordered that scope meter you showed that got 5/5. Just waiting on it from China now. Thanks for the review.
Great stuff Tron..SMART has a place but it's definitely not the end all we keep hearing about. Shame really..decent build quality is mostly there but performance just isn't. Let us know when the new ZT-702S arrives !
Brother my brain 🧠 got a boom after seeing kaiweets and gvda having many products same looking can you tell me that both of them are same company same brand or different if different which one is more trustable to buy
Both are reputable vendors and should serve you well. Kaiweets is a larger company and has excellent after sales support as well.
Esse led amarelo está queimado, já é o terceiro teste que não acende
Seems too many smart meters let "smart" get in the way of "functional", and a rule of thumb for any instrument of accuracy is it should have good accuracy & functionality - theres no excuse for a test meter with this level of circuit board design to have a bog slow continuity range.
Agreed..continuity is really slow. Painfully so...makes you wonder why you can't override to a manual mode 🤔
Where's the beef? (product link) Also can we go back to having a non-wide video format? (we could see a lot more before 🤗)
LINK now in description . I'll be adjusting the format ratio in upcoming reviews..thx !
@@KeepOnTesting Yup, unless viewers take the time to go full screen, YT will always squish-in their ads on the right side and that, coupled with tabs, url bar (and bookmark bar, if used) leaves the content looking a bit like a long loaf of bread. What has always been impressive about your workflow is that you think creatively "outside of the box" and pushing the envelope shows somebody is really thinking behind the curtain, rather than drifting from video to video. 👍
What do you say to kaiweets kc602 ?
Sane model..Kaiweets has better after sales support.
Kaiweets showing its true colours. Deduce its star rating! 😐
Bhushan..you are such a meanie 😅
Alas, another somewhat lackluster cheap-o clamp. Might look good on paper, but it just doesn't deliver. The case looks nice though.🤔
Case definitely has the Kaiweets vibe!
if on the specs it says : ● DC Current: 60A/600A
● AC Current: 60A/600A range it makes no sense you try to measure mamps.........................................or not ?
