hey there happy Monday look what I got here...
Stuff! let's bring in the one that rattles first it says connector see up
connector is oh it's those crimp ferrules okay good I've been hoping
those would show up soon because I got the tool while ago and I ordered them at
the same time so now we can play but first let's go check the listing 400
pieces electrical wire crimping connector insulated cord pin terminals
Farrell's get got this one from QQ 1 2 8 1 just some random seller I guess that
had the cheapest price I paid five dollars and 85 cents and no shipping of
course so the 400 comes in wire gauges between 22 and 10 or with their code
numbers 100 pieces each of these two and then 50 pieces each of these 2 and 25
pieces each of these ones I don't know what these model numbers translate to
exactly but I'll just make them fit oh hello here we go there's the different
okay so there's the different sizes in metric not AWG as metric as I am I'm I
still do my wire in ewg because that's all it's available around here not the
the metric sizes so oh I see the smallest ones which they claimed were 22
gauge are slightly different lengths okay and there's different links that a
couple of the different diameters no that's interesting okay let's play but
first I guess the reason for these things is when you're screwing stranded
wire Down Under screw terminals like these or
these little guys here probably not these these ones you'd use crimp on fork
terminals but maybe these guys when you screw them down the the wire flattens
out and spreads out and gets all unruly and also it just gets all pokey and
weird and doesn't want to always go in place where you want it so the problem
that these guys saw is that they keep all the strands where's this one they
keep all the strands yeah you can see those strands are all splayed out they
keep all the strands in organized a fashion so when you put them in to do
your scooped terminal they're not all flailing all over the place and causing
random short circuits so this red one this wire here is 22 gauge and so we'll
just crimp him down there so there it is crimped makes little divots in all four
sides and that's a that's not coming out since I had that cut a little bit long
trim it off where it comes at the end and then if I'm putting it into a
terminal block it can just go right in without flailing all over the place
assuming that you've opened the terminal block up first
and there it goes with no no stray strands anywhere nice firm and it
doesn't squash out of the way when you put that down
so now after trying the smallest one let's try the biggest way that I've got
handy which is 12 gauge this claims to go up to 10 gauge but we'll try it with
12 and yeah it it fits over there makes them loose let's try it with one of the
shorter ones here so again it okay so the you know insulating sleeve goes up
to there and we put the self adjusting crimper on and give her what for so now
that guy has solidly krypton square again it's not coming off no actually it
does move a little bit just give that what for and see if I can actually pull
it oh oh okay so using the ten gauge one with 12 gauge wire isn't the best option
Jam that back on there again if I can and hit it one more time real go dig now
I'll just go square on
okay that's fairly firm this time but that is too big for any of the terminals
of that God see what happens do I try and put it underneath one of these
screws and again this isn't the right application for it it would be more for
this kind of terminal here but never learn anything if you don't experiment
no that's not the Painted crimp you want for that for this kind of screw Park you
want this sort of crimp terminal a fork that just goes under there
and I think this one goes up to 14 gauge which is if there's a 14 gauge yes I
beat laughs so for that you'd use I couldn't determine I'll sort of like
this well this is there a 14 gauge in here no there's a bunch of smaller gauge
ones what is this one does it work with 18 it looks like a boat right let's try
it so if that's the long one let's try the
short one does the yellow yeah you see all those strands are kind of frayed and
out of sorts so that's the problem these things are solved there we go
crimp a solid trim flush done now you can put it into a block like this and
run it down so that's 18 gauge nice okay what's next
hello this guy it says call it already partially opened oh I didn't feel good
that felt so oh hello battery holders lots of battery holders two four six
eight battery holders those are I believe 18 650 yes those are 18 650
battery holders good it was a run short on those four pieces plastic battery
holder key storage box and wire leads 4 1 by 18 650 battery
I paid dollar 32 for four of them actually I paid two dollars and
sixty-five cents for eight of them so I bought two of this a lot from enjoy
fashion what does this enjoy fashionable top
okay and there's nothing too amazing about these they're just battery holders
with wires okay next we have one x adapter oh it's one of ultrasonic
modules one of these around here somewhere don't I
and by one I mean actually two and these ones well this one is a slightly
different one this one's got the crystal on the front and slightly different
chips on the back okay but the part numbers seem HCS are 0-4 I wonder if I
don't think those are different functionally I think the other type has
a different pin count on it if I'm not mistaken off to look back at my video
about when I was tinkering with these things but in the meantime ultrasonic h
CS r o4 h CS r o4 p distance measuring sonar sensor module for arduino i bought
this one from wise kitty who is not currently selling anything I got it at
auction for 80 cents which is why I bought it because current going price is
buck 40 and up here's one of those things from world chips who I bought
before but not this thing it's the difference between them okay so the P
version doesn't have a crystal on the front and just the base oh for version
does so the crystal on the front okay I learned something but if you want to
see more about these ultrasonic sensors I've got a video back several months
when I was tinkering with them I'll put the link up in the corner here as usual
and yeah in the description of this video I will put a search that finds a
whole bunch of them since buddy that I bought it from no longer sells a damn
thing okay we have battery pack hit some battery pack so I wonder what reasons
our reasons are exactly the same thing just more 18 650 battery holders with
wires well no way I got singles I guess same there's no reason not to use
singles because you can just gang them up and series them into whatever you
need so I'm assuming that I got these cheap as well this is a pack of five of
them listing time portable five pieces battery keys hold a storage box 4 1 by
18 650 rechargeable battery this bunch came from good jewelry 8 they're
currently singing from them for 236 I bought these at auction for two dollars
and two cents from them and they're pretty much the same as the other ones
not sure who I paid two bucks for these ones and and 264 almost twice as many of
the other ones bought them on different days I guess maybe I bought the other
ones before I found these ones on auctions I don't know alright time for
the big one what do we have in here this on the ship from within Canada but as
usual this would have been bought for a Chinese seller
Oh cheap this basically right the Canadian sellers half this pay tax
and Canadian shipping and stuff the Chinese sellers even though we're
selling shipping from inside Canada don't for some reason Wow
adjustable soldering clamp holder for different thicknesses mex clamp up 200
millimetres oh cool I've been it's forgotten that I ordered this but as you
probably know if you've been watching I've been searching for different ways
to hold circuit boards while I'm soldering this being probably the most
professional that I've that have explored so far let's see what I paid
for this thing and get out of the box and play with it
adjustable PC board printed circuit board soldering assembly holder clamp
tool I didn't buy it from this guy I bought it from northern swallow 2012
I paid $19 and 76 cents this is currently the dude who's selling it for
cheapest at $19.99 however I'm going to link to a search that finds you a bunch
of different sellers for these things it says plastic holder post metal base
can hold PCBs up to 200 by 140 millimeters can hold 1.2 1 point 8 2 or
3 millimeter circuit boards and the overall thing is 300 by 165 125
millimeters bottom use equipped with rubber gasket to stay boys and no
shaking 360 degrees rotation can easily be fixed in position etc etc design to
clamp yeah for once I actually get to do a real unboxing normal fun big out the
box one piece two pieces
three pieces nothing else in the box a manual which is written with Chinese and
English very nice all the themed things that it says on the listing okay
sliding piece sliding piece bar feet with rubber feet nice okay so those
screw under there that slides onto there that grabs the board's I will convince
the screw in here that slides that's all set screw on this side that is a metal
set screw - with little plastic knob okay goes together fairly easily and
there we go that's pretty reasonable actually so
there's a set screw here to walk the rotation set screw here to walk the
rotation and the springiness I better get some circuit boards let's start with
this one this is a board out of a printer so walktrough Teesha
that's not bad definitely work on that and the only problem we're working with
a big board means you have to grab it kind of offset by the looks of it here
if you want to swing it over but you can definitely work on that and stop that up
yeah as long as you're working close to where the pivot is it's not going
anywhere handle something really tiny okay there's a really tiny little board
and it's uh throw a component into there or is that big capacitor ah ah big
capacitor goes down there and that's not gonna fit because of the grippers so
what happens if we flip this over okay
definitely fits now put that cap in there spin it over get a pseudo
soldering iron in there oh that should work pretty well that seems like a
fairly professional item except for hold up that plastics not that that crappy it
seems to hold everything fairly solidly you can get a good push on it it takes
quite a bit to push it up okay I think that's gonna be a good addition to the
fleet of soldering board holders and there's this week's mailbag Monday
goodies in all their glory so shipping times 18 650 holders one batch took 23
days and one batch took seven weeks strange the soldering board holder took
six weeks to get here the ultrasonic distance sensor took six weeks to get
here and the Crim Farrell's took 10 and a half
weeks these all happened into the last quarter of 2018 so that's Christmas time
shippings busy and slow and weird and random apparently okay so a combination
of shop stock and in this cool tool I'm gonna I'm gonna put get some use out of
these I'm sure thanks for watching if you got anything you want to comment on
please leave er down in the comment section down on the bottom they're links
as always in the description and a special thanks as always to my patreon
supporters for helping me finance my addiction I will talk to you later guys
