BG414616934 Thewire says "ML-50*0.15". If you know how that translates into AWG let me know!

I don't have much money to Spend, but I URGENTLY NEEDED to Confirm my Suspicions about the Waveform of Several Brand New Inverters that weren't Working as they should. Could this ULTRA CHEAP Oscilloscope be Any Good, or am I Wasting My Money ? WAS I SURPRISED when I tested one of these Instruments ! I'm Retired now but during my working life I have used MANY Oscilloscopes, some STATE of the Art Machines Costing MANY THOUSANDS of POUNDS, so I wasn't Expecting Super Performance for Less than £40. It solved my Problem in Seconds and I've made SO MUCH USE of the Instrument that I have bought some more with the Intention of Demonstrating and Re-Selling them. The AUTO Function is Incredible. I know my way around 'scopes, but for New Users just FINDING where the Signal you want to look at can be a Huge Problem (on Conventional Machines). The Instrument picks what it thinks will be the Best Amplitude, Shift and Time Base Settings to get your Signal On Screen, and then you can Manually Adjust those Settings if you need to. Counting the Garticule Markings on Conventional 'Scopes to work out the Period or Amplitude of a Signal can be time consuming, so this little machine can DO IT ALL FOR YOU ! You can turn Off the Text if you want to Examine your Waveform, and turn it back on when needed. For a SAMPLING SCOPE to give Good Fidelity it's essential that the Sampling Frequency is AT THE VERY LEAST, 10 times Higher than the Maximum Frequency Waveform you want to Examine - so this TINY INSTRUMENT is Well Equipped to do Anything within normal Audio / Hi-Fi Bandwidth. So for Checking Electricity Supply Waveforms, and Slower Process Control Systems this Instrument should have no problems. The BASIC / CHEAPEST Way to buy this includes just an UNSCREENED WIRE "PROBE". MUCH BETTER to Buy the Slightly Dearer Version which ALSO Includes a Proper x1 and x10 Switchable, Higher Voltage and Frequency Probe. INCREDIBLE VALUE FOR MONEY !

What a Cracking Little Vac' ! It's Smaller than I expected but MORE POWERFUL. I "FOUND" it in my Back Garden, Encased in ICE ! The Delivery Person HAD NOT put a Card through my Door and I was SURPRISED to see it. He must have THROWN IT OVER a 6 Foot Gate, where it had LANDED on CONCRETE, when the Temperature was BELOW ZERO. FORTUNATELY the Product's Own Packaging was GOOD and Absorbed the IMPACT without any damage being caused to the Product itself. As per MANY PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS Banggood DO NOT PROVIDE ANY PARCEL PROTECTION, other than a Plastic Bag, which in this case kept most of the Contents Dry. There was plenty of Charge in the Vac when it arrived, so I quickly Checked it out. It's PERFECT for Cleaning Up typical Kitchen Spills, like Sugar, and I tried it with a Size Reduction Adapter and it's FANTASTIC at CLEANING COMPUTER KEYBOARDS. But it's Not Big Enough for General House Cleaning (but GREAT for getting into Corners and Crevices that bigger Vacuums can't clean. The Battery and Charger are also GOOD. After I'd spent 15 minutes looking for all sorts of things to Test it on, I plugged in the Charger which Quickly Topped Up the Battery Level to 100%. The Charger is rated at 1A, whereas Older "Dust Buster" type Vacuums running on NI-Cads or Ni-MH often only had a 500-600mA Charger. My only COMPLAINT is the SPEED with which the TINY "HEPA" Filter gets Blocked. If the Dirty Air had to pass through a CLOTH BAG type Filter BEFORE reaching the HEPA Filter, I thing the Time Between Filter Cleans could be Improved. If a SPARE Filter had been Included, that would have been GREAT. The only REAL Way to clean a HEPA Filter is to WASH it in CLEAN WATER - but they take TIME to DRY, and you should NEVER use a Vacuum with a WET Filter, so making ADDITIONAL FILTERS available to Purchase would be a Good Idea. OVERAL I Score this Vacuum 10/10 !

BG417443681 I've discovered a Design Fault with this Work Light, so I can't give it a 100% Score Anymore. (But it's still a Damned Good Lamp !) The Base of the Lamp too small for it to work in it's Primary Mode - unless it's stood on a Metal Surface. When the Light Bar is opened to roughly 90 degrees, as you would for Map Reading, or reading anything I guess, the Lamp's Centre of Gravity moves to beyond it's Base Outline, SO IT FALLS OVER. Opening the Light Bar Significantly MORE - to about 120 Degrees brings it's CoG back within the Base Area so it's OK. I leave a large metal Washer stuck to the Lamps Magnetic Base. This adds a bit more Weight and extends the Base Diameter by about 5mm - and now it Stands Upright on Anything.

Straight out of the box, one Lamp was PERFECT, while the other one didn't work at all. It was a little worrying as the Lamp that didn't work had a small internal rattle if shaken. The Literature says the Lamps are supplied Charged, so they Should work Straigh Away, but will need Charging for Maximum Performance. I opened the None Working Lamp and found a Tiny Piece of Broken Plastic inside - but there was NOWHERE it could have come from, so it must have dropped in during assembly. Internally everything looked OK, so I decided to try Charging the Lamp. INSTANTLY the Front light array started to Glow - so I had Discovered the Problem. The Lamp had been put in its Box while still switched ON, so over time the Battery had FULLY DISCHARGED. Once I'd given it a Full Charge the 2nd Lamp also Worked PERFECTLY. Light Output is Excellent and even on Low Power it was perfect for Walking along UNLIT Tracks at Night. I REALLY LIKE the somewhat Unusualy Shape of this LAMP. It's VERY SQUARE ! But it's VERY COMFY to hold for long periods - like making a Journey in the Countryside at Night where there is NO Street Lighting. Being Square it also WON'T ROLL OFF sloping sufaces, like many Traditional Shaped Torches and Lamps do. Charging the Lamp from TOTALLY FLAT BATTERY takes quite a bit of time, but I only used a "Standard" USB as I didn't want to risk harming the Charging Circuit - in case I had to Return that DEAD on ARRIVAL Lamp. I will be Stocking this Lamp in my Small Shop. 10/10. The ONLY Thing I didn't

Despite the UNIMPRESSIVE, Scruffy, Plain Cardboard Box that this Tool arrives in, I'd still class it as an Excellent Buy. After fitting the Spark/Debris Guard, but as yet without am Abrasive Wheel in Place, I powered the unit up. It sprang into life OK, but I was a bit concerned by the noise it made. It SOUNDED LIKE the Gears were RUNNING DRY, as if someone had forgotten to put any Grease in the Gearbox ! As a (now Retirered) Professional Engineer, I could not risk destroying the Machine through Lack of Essential Care, so I had the Gears. There was some Grease, but 99% of it was at one end of the Gearbox, no where near the Gears themselves. (Probably due to Vibration during Storage and Shipping - so I was GLAD that I bothered to look.). I added a little more (PREMIUM, Castrol Grease) to the Gears themselves, and re-assembled. The noise was Much Sweeter :) There were NO Instructions or Documentation of Any Kind, included, so I had to GUESS that the "Speed Control / Battery Power Buttons were supposed to work in the same way as they are SUPPOSED TO in my (Banggood Supplied) Impact Driver. Pressing them did change the Speed of Rotation, but the settings seemed to be a bit "Hit & Miss". But as I NORMALLY do 95% of my grinding work on various Grades and Types of STEEL, that wasn't really a problem for me. (I have a Much Bigger Grinder that I use almost exclusively for my Masonary Work.) I've since tried the tool for both CUTTING STEEL and for CLEANING UP Welding Joints (Steel again) and found it "Works a Treat". NOT HAVING THE RESTRICTIONS of a Power Cable is going to be of HUGE BENEFIT to me. Not only will I no longer need a Mains Extension Reels to get Power to the Work, but I will No Longer have to Worry about making sure my Grinders Power Cable doesn't get Cut, Burned or Snagged. In my Workshop I will probably continue to use my Mains Powered Grinders, which should allow my New Cordless Tool to Last for my Remaining Lifetime. Excellent VALUE for MONEY.

I am VERY PLEASED with this Product ! It took some time to Read & Understand the instruction leaflet (why do they print them SO SMALL ? I had to wear my Reading Glasses AND use a Magnifying Glass to read in comfort), to discover the difference between FAST TEST and NOR Test, but I know now. Everything works as expected. I thought that only being able to see data about One Cell at a time would be a drawback - but actually it is Better, as it gives you Much More Information. The Unit is Easy and Quick to use, and appears to be Well Made. If I had to complain about anything it would be the Microscopic Manual, and that it Can't Handle the Larger Sizes of Ni-Cd and Ni-MH Batteries. I only have a Very Small Pension Income, so I have to Justify Every Penny I Spend. Having recently bought the Latest NiteCore Charger I Nearly Didn't Buy this Instrument. I'm VERY GLAD that I did Justify the Expense, because while my NiteCore is a Very Good Battery CHARGER, my LittoKala is also a Battery TESTER. Already it has shown me WHY Some Combinations of AA Cells don't seem to last as long as others do, even in the Same Piece of Equipment. Some time ago I exposed the DISHONEST Advertising & Selling of USB Portable Power Banks (via a DIFFERENT, Well Known, On-Line Seller), which benefitted Banggood as it prompted me to Buy New Test Equipment to replace my Home Made Kit. Maybe now I will start looking at the ACCURACY of the "CLAIMED" Capacities of Rechargeable Cells ? If YOU have any concerns about the Power you seem to be getting from some of your Rechargeable Cells, BUY an Engineer Lii-500.
