Voltlog #223 - Is The Paron JX-D5 Crimping Tool Any Good?
In this video we are taking a look at the Paron JX-D5 Crimping Tool Set which was provided for free by banggood.com for the purpose of this review. This single tool can do wire ferrules, blade connectors, dupont connectors and more but is it any good? Watch the video to find out.
In this episode I am building an analog adjustable dc load with parts easily obtainable from ebay and banggood. The advantage of such a dc load is that you can understand how it works, modify or repair it if necessary far easier than you would with a digital one. I was able to push mine up to 60W dissipation, but it is recommended to stay under 50W to protect the mosfet.

This is the first video for 2016 and hopefully one of the many this year. I'm giving you an update on what I've been up to, that is an auction score where I got myself some nice multimeters(Fluke 87, Fluke 77 and Tektronix TX1) for a good price and the dark load project that I'm working on.
The PCB's for the dark load project have been manufactured by pcbcart.com, read the full review article bellow:

In this video I’m doing a product review and teardown of the Mastech MS6612 Digital Light Meter. I am also taking a look at a typical 9V battery datasheet and make an estimate on the usage hours that I’m going to get for this meter.
Purchase the MS6612 from GearBest.com

In this video I am assembling a multiple fixed rail power supply kit. This power supply works with a 5-24V input either through a USB mini socket or a dc barrel jack (2.5mm center positive) and at the output you get +12V, -12V, +5V, -5V and +3.3V. My kit was missing 1 small heatsink and one of the electrolytics was a different value than specified on the PCB.
Purchase this power supply kit from:

Today we are taking a look at yet another electronic load. I found this one on Aliexpress, I think it’s a rather new model so let’s see what it can do.
