I WAS SO WRONG ABOUT THIS tesman Tm-522s Better than Klein Wire Strippers.

[@leonpowers8762]

I my self use Fluke everyday & some times I use a analog Simpson meter. I help my cousin in a mechanic shop and this new volt meter will be good for the new techs so they don’t blow the $25.00 fuse in a Fluke

[@motorbreath3]

Goddang it found out my 88 has the blown fuse today . Key off drain ? Nope. Grab the amp clamp sigh

[@WilliamBrown-bg7vm]

😂 kinda gotta go outta your way to blow that fuse...

[@ben10mama]

I like this thing and the wire strippers. I appreciate the ability to tell if a wire is hot with the no contact voltage things

[@SaerTurner-wn2qh]

Pretty impressive and looks well built

[@MarzNet256]

Cool. I have the pittsburg pro auto strippers which are identical to the matco. I paid like 6 bucks for them, and they strip perfectly.

[@CPthetooladdict]

You mean the red and black ones?

[@MarzNet256]

@CPthetooladdict Yup. Used it to fix car horn and now doing electrical on my 97 year old house. Works perfectly every time.

These are definitely not going to replace a Fluke, just a great option as a backup or for quick checks. I have 5 meters I keep in rotation.

I got the first tesmen you did a video on and I love it. It’s my daily driver for my job (field service) for the pass year. I leave my bluepoint meter the job provided on the work van.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Ya they are absolutely impressive it's so cheap it's just dumb they could easily sell them for more

[@ToolDemos]

The voltage test on those strippers are the coolest part.

[@baja-automotive]

love a good pocket meter, I'm a fan of the AMES 300 pocket meter. I keep one in the car and another in my laptop bag, works great for voltage drops and resistance checks.

[@scotts4125]

Update: I actually ordered both strippers. I have not found an auto stripper that works reliably on coated THHN wire. Both strippers were able to do it. I had to really tighten the tension knob on Tesman but once I hit the sweet spot it's amazing to see. All my previous auto strippers just slipped off the coating. Thank you CP this is amazing to have two auto strippers now capable of stripping this wire. The yellow and blue ones clearly needed more squeeze than the green ones but they both stripped them equally as well.

[@CPthetooladdict]

I'm very happy that you are happy. This is what I do this to get comments like this, which makes my day!!

[@Tony-rl2fr]

I've purchased 2 or 3 of those meters for different tool boxes and locations. I've used it several times for my daily job (copier repair) and it is actually pretty good. I agree about the leads, they suck. Buy decent leads, and throw the ones that come with it in the trash. Edit: Maybe the new leads are better, I purchased mine last year.

[@ramtruck2011able]

Damn decent prices. Great video CP

[@tmann737]

I'm one of the five! I needed a multimeter and I can't afford a amprobe or fluke. I was thinking about a Klein model, but, this seems to be a better way to start.

[@mlieser1230]

Not a bad meter for the price. I keep a cheap meter around for quick measurements and doing battery draw tests. If it breaks I don't feel bad.

[@JakeNaughtFromStateFarm]

I’m not a fan of automatic strippers myself. I’ve got a few different stripper/crimper combo pliers from OTC but if I have room, I use my catapult strippers with the wire gauge in it. Speaking of crimping, I wouldn’t mind seeing a video with your opinions on that. I’ve several different crimpers as well: standard pliers, angled, ratcheting, etc. Love to get your though on that.

It should be alright for typical measurements. Fluke used to be the best but even they’re starting to sell chinesuum.

[@almangrant7358]

Off topic, recently I have been looking at the Proto 90 tooth flex head ratchet. It supposed to be the same as Mac. On Mac's site, they show a different design more similar to the Gearwrench, further is the difference in the pictures between the chrome vs comfort grip. Called Mac and they said they have been revising it. Some have screws on the top and some do not.

[@CPthetooladdict]

I don't know about those, I personally prefer my [tool brand name] ratchets, but thanks for the info!

[@phillipmoody710]

I have the Knipex 12 62 180 and 13 72 8, along with my Mac tools WS07. They reach have a specific use for me and I have been looking at getting something similar to those tesman stripper/crimpers.

Check out the safety circuitry. And if it actually is rated to what it claims. I’ve found that’s where these things fall apart. They’re also usually not TRUE RMS. some are, but tons aren’t. Tbc I don’t mean this brand in particular I mean all of them. Uni-T included.

[@CPthetooladdict]

We aren't testing rockets, just a basic Tester man. Nobody said anything about going enstien using this meter chill out, lol

[@JoeBleaux69]

@@CPthetooladdict all of the issues I’ve had have been when testing 12v circuits so I wasn’t really considering that rocket colonoscopy tbf. One unit I had even had a 10a fuse that weren’t actually connected to anything, but I didn’t learn that until investigating the failure 😂

Gotcha, I get what you mean, but I didn't really intend this meter to be a higher level than simple things. I haven't tried going that far yet bet I get what you are putting down 100% 🙏

Auto strippers have always sucked for me. By far for me the best manual strippers are the Knipex forged like you have. I have their expensive autos and they suck like all of them I have. I hope I am one of the lucky 5 as I have these in my cart. They look good. The thing about the NCV on them is odd. If you think about the entire process by the time you have the strippers out you should already know power is disconnected. I can see these being used I guess as an NCV maybe to eliminate a stand alone and maybe that's their intent? It's a little Tim Walz weird but at least it's useful unlike him. :)
