    Cool!!!

    You have a lot of multimeters. Ha ha!!
    :D

  • EEVblog:

    Yep, I reckon it cost me in this area $20 at the time, all the money I’d ever saved!

  • ishman1:

    You bought a multimeter when you were 8? Wow. Fantastic tour.

  • stormbytes:

    Hey Dave! Like the tour! Yeah the red small trays look like dissection heaven!

  • Wizard4592:

    Thanks for the tour. It’s very fascinating to look at additional people’s benches. They are all so similar.

  • dragonblood99:

    Does anyone know how to do a factory reset on a fluke 789

  • legion2:

    are all your shirts some sort of engineering figure? hahahaha

  • jacobbiljo:

    Thanks for the tour. Id really recommend the Greenlee voltage detector rather than the fluke because the fluke is not sensitive enough so if you are not extremely close to the wire it wont go off sometimes, can be perilous!

  • japroach:

    Go to digikey, click GO to search, and scroll down to “Kits”. They can be cheaper than export individual parts.

    Ebay has lots too.

  • davidbball13:

    Yet another brilliant video. Keep ‘em coming.
    I just got a Digital Soldering Station for Christmas. A XYTRONIC station. Ever heard of it? I like it so far.

  • Albinorama:

    Thanks Dave for the tour =D. Nice setup and excellent for taking thoughts.

  • frank26080115:

    got a fire extinguisher in there?

  • EEVblog:

    Around 30 years or so.

  • jaspers22:

    How many years have you been into electronics Dave?

  • enliteneer:

    I like those smd kits that have the prototyping parts!

    Everywhere can I find those online? What’s typically included, and how much do they usually run?

  • EEVblog:

    How cheap is “cheap”?
    Analog or digital?
    The Rigol DS1052E is the best value digital scope on the market for just under $400.
    Excellent used analog scopes (Tek, HP, or Philips for example) can be had for very cheap prices on ebay, but it’s buyer-beware.
    Forget PC based scopes as someone else mentioned, get yourself a real bench scope.

  • frhotek:

    well…the PC scope is probably excellent enough for most things; nice analog scopes are very expensive; but there are a few nice instruments on eBay once-in-awhile. you can also use data collection boxes instead of real instruments: from dataq and mcc.
    if you’re an persuade, don’t worry in this area soldering as there are tons of students who will do that for you! everyone else:
    I recommend visiting the NASA workmanship sites to look at quality electronics work and how it’s done.

  • brail207:

    Thanks for the tour Dave very nice setup

  • rasz:

    Im guessing the gray box on the left of soldering irons is a Soldering Smoke Absorber. Very vital part of the lab .. unless you like to poison yourself :)

  • Forssa1:

    Do you harvest/savage components? I can see why you wouldn’t but I like it!

  • VeXorian1337:

    Hey Dave, can you recommend a cheap, but efficient and reliable oscilloscope? I’m studying EE right now and I’m in need of such an instrument.

  • GRIM2594:

    Very cool! I can’t wait to get into my core lessons and start doing this kind of thing on my own!

    Thanks for showing us around!

  • baddspella:

    waw man cool setup

  • migsantiago:

    Man, that’s a excellent lab, even if it’s tiny. I wish I had all the stuff you have.

    With all those spare multimeters you should make a contest or something like that and give me out for free, hehe

    nice video :D

  • etechvlog:

    nice lab setup. i wish i had that mass of equipment and parts ;)
