In this video we put a hook on a stick so I can reach stuff that is high on my pegboard.

In this video I mention Ali the Dazzling and the Star Wars Kid. The wood shop channel I enjoy is Workshop Companion.

We use the Deep Hole Long Nib Pen to mark the points for drilling.

We use the Rockwell RD2971 18V Drill Driver Kit Drill for drilling.

We use the Bosch IXO VI Electric Screwdriver to drive in my screws.

My pegboard hooks are these ones: HORUSDY 120-Piece PegBoard Hooks Set, Peg Board Assortment 12 Different Types of Hooks for Garage Organizer Bins Shop Display Hanging.

We use the 14500pa Cordless Hand Held Vacuum to tidy up after ourselves.

We use the Yum Cha 10pc File & Rasp Set Metal File for filing.

We use the Plato Model 170 Wire Cutter for cutting our string.

The KVM I mention toward the end of the video is my AOOCOO 4K@30Hz HDMI USB 2.0 8-Port HDMI KVM.

If you’re interested in HDMI specs there is heaps of info on the Wikipedia HDMI page.

The monitor I mention toward the end of the video is the UPERFECT 15.6″ HDMI LCD. It’s physically small, but high resolution. I stop using this monitor because I was having trouble making it work with my new KVM and my studio workstation ‘verve‘.

The new component drawers I am getting for the new space on my pegboard are these: Jaycar HB6330 33 Drawer Parts Cabinet

I mention that I found a YouTube video which has a look at it: Octopus Hand supports Soldering for only 5$ – Turtle Review but like me they couldn’t figure out what the rubber and bolts on the base are for! If you know please let me know in the comments!

In this video we take a look at my new Peak Electronic Design Atlas LCR45 LCR Meter.

If you’re interested I have other equipment from Peak Electronic Design.

Over on the EEVblog forum I ask What’s special about the frequency 14.9254 kHz? The answer seems to be that this is 1/67th of 1 MHz, which is probably as precise as the microcontroller they’re using can go.

You can learn more about my ALKOY Capacitor Discharge Pen.

There are accessories available for the LCR45. Stuff I am planning to get includes:

I would get the LX30 – Extension Cable for LCR40/45 but it doesn’t appear to be in stock.

There are cases available but I am not planning to get any of those:

In this video we take a look at what has arrived in the mail from element14, eBay, AliExpress, and Amazon.

While I was trying to figure out how the rubber/bolts work on my third hand I found this video: Octopus Hand supports Soldering for only 5$ – Turtle Review. This person was confused like me.

That glue we tested was this stuff: 15ML 25ML 50ML 110ML B-7000 Clear Contact Phone Repair Adhesive Universal Glass Plastic DIY Glue B7000 With Precision Applicator.
