The amount of stuff that this little gadget can do is quite staggering. Some of the features I’ve been using a lot, others I’m not sure why I’d need them but one day will probably have one of those “a-ha” moments and figure out that particular feature will be useful.
Also:This is my favorite tool kit of all time – here’s why it’s still in use 10 years later
The information is displayed on a 2.4 inch IPS backlit display that is big and bold and easy to read under a variety of conditions, whether that be at night or in bright sunlight. Powering the unit are two rechargeable AA 1800mAh Ni-MH batteries, and these can be recharged in the unit using USB-C. The buttons on the unit are large and clear, and they are easy to operate even when wearing work gloves.
Built to survive a hard life on a worksite or toolbox.
