you forgot heat air gun and your cheap microscopes
i want all
Brother you miss the l’& key set
Why there’s thumbs down
7:55 Zebra Quality?! I just have to buy it…
How the fuck is the oscilloscope more expensive than the 3d printer? Is there a cheap alternative to an oscilloscope?
Hi there đ I really enjoying your videos and decide to subscribe. Great concept you have, covering from basic of electronic to interesting projects and comparations.
I have one question about oscilloscope in this video.
In video you recommend KeySight DSOX1204G, but the link doesn’t match that, it shows different, much cheaper one from AliExperess.
Could you please explain?
You missed out on your shelf of marker pens!
noice!
dude, that oscilloscope on the bottom worth more than all the rest equipment combined
Nice video. I would add an ESR meter. You could find some cheap one on bangood (around 20-30âŹ)
Perhaps you can review some PC based Oscilloscopes – LOTO OSC482 series, Oscilloscope/Signal Generator/Logic Analyzer for example > $100
I have a 200⏠budget – this video: No.
Me đ
Great Scott: "More budget friendly option"
Me: **Sees $64**
Me: *looks at my wallet*
Wallet: *sweating*
Rotary Tool?
What are those little wire grips you use at 2:24?
Most essential tool to make electric project is knowledge. And courage of curiosity to gain more and more knowledge of any field.

I know some fools will come to tell me that its all about the money but don’t listen to them, they’re those who haven’t tried themselves and just see doing others and now they think its easy.
Don’t go after money, go for knowledge and skills money will come to you.
one more thing, knowledge is almost free in this interconnected world nowdays.
God, I hate organized people! (smile)
Time…if u have money u just pay someone do it for u.
A Japanese 3-way saw is a super handy tool to have. đ€
Calling an oscilloscope an âessential toolâ is probably turning off a lot of beginner electronics hobbyists.
I think you miss the temperature camera and VNA.
Instead of constructing a lab with big devices Buy a device like
an all in one multimeter that includes temperature reading+frequency reading+LCR reading+oscilloscope+function generator+etc.
By the way, you poor man ! if you don’t buy a 1000+ euro-oscilloscope you will not be able to do anything haha hahaha đ
Chinese 100$ oscilloscopes meet 80% electronics stuff
This is such a discouraging video for beginners. You do NOT need to spend several hundreds/thousands of euros on essential equipment.
So I will need a function Generatöööööööö XD
@GreatScott!
: can you please recommended good solder wire? (Lötzinn) I am really struggling finding a good quality one
Desoldering tools you missed..
Wow… This video is a visual treat for every hobbyist
The most important is money to buy the oscilloscope…
Where is your vice?
Show us all your projects, where do you store all the projects?
I think you should show some of that awesome German generosity and send me that sweet $12K oscilloscope. No? Ok, fine…I hope you spill your beer!! LOL
You missed "Desoldering Equipment" A desoldering gun for thru hole components is essential. I too have a small lab. But I am not quite as bright or as smart as you.
An oscilloscope, microscope, and a soldering station are very unnecessary. You only need a soldering iron, pliers, and a sidecutter for most projects.
Donât worry too much if him and everyone in the comments make you feel overwhelmed, you can get everything dirt cheap from China and half the stuff isnât fully necessary if youâre willing to get creative
I’ve got the smaller version of your WĂŒrth Box and I have to say WĂŒrth tools are such a delight. I use them almost daily and they never failed me.. definitely a good recommendation.
6:24 What are you doing behind me?
I would like to remind the author that not everyone lives in Germany
Now you have 1.5M subs, now you should improve your intro, existing have very less pixels (i mean lights) so increase small many lights
Had to pause @2:08 The Tears the Tears of missing my tools .I have not been able to afford the tools or pieces to go back to electronic repairs ;until now sorta .By 2022 I should be able to start my home repair business again .Oh Yeah I love your videos; so until 2022 I get to live thru your wonderous videos đ You make this 40yr OLDMAN excited about electronics again!
My salary 4000 oscilloscope 11000 đ€
make a video showing your EDC
I have a multimeter but I don’t have a lap bench power but I’m Hobbyis Electronic even I don’t have a soldering iron. But my Grandpa has one on is work he allows me to use the soldering iron and the lap bench power supply.
Alt title: Great German Engineer flexing on his subscribers.
Nice â
If you want a volt meter I got one at my local Loweâs for $15 and it works great
Ok, so let’s buy those tools. First of all I need a house…
7:43
That looks just like my cable drawer lol.
I want an oscilloscope but i cant afford it đ im sad
You missed digital thermometer.
The most important tool is a magnet to disable the security system from a garage. đ
