DCA55 idea

[Mcknib]

Here's a wee idea for those of you that hate your DCA55 wires getting all tangled up when testing numerous components

One of my probes eventually detached itself and after spending time trying to come up with a clamp gizmo to separate the wires when I opened it up to resolder the probe I suddenly thought extra holes so cut a couple into the enclosure

If you want it looking more pro than my effort you could drill a coupla extra holes detach yer probes and fit them through and resolder

Anyway it works and tangles and twists a lot less

Great idea

Great idea

Simplest are always the best Harry and if it's me it's super simple usually after trying all sorts of spring loaded bits and pieces and extra bonus I won't be putting as much coin in the swearbox when checking out germanium transistors

The one I really hate is my multimeter leads getting all tangled. I nearly destroy them out of rage every time

I’ve never opened mine up. How easy would it be to fix the leads if needed?

Haha I hear you my neighbours must think a mad psycho lives next door I've been known to headbutt cupboards in frustration when I can't get that wire to hook onto that bit you can't get to

Maybe I'll get onto that meter lead clamp gizmo

Really easy Benny the one I've got is the 12v Battery one so you need to open it up to change that

My probe actually came off on the probe end this time so it was a little more difficult to resolder than if it detaches internally as you can see easy to access if it detached from the solder joint internally
