I have the 40mhz Mustool Scope meter. It works pretty good for what I need it for. Mainly just signal checks. Hopefully now that you have it you can show more signals on things you build. Even just looking at signals coming off a 555 is pretty cool to me.
If a portable scope is what your after , Banggood has the MUSTOOL MDS120M on sale now for $69.99. It's not a meter but has much higher bandwidth. I really enjoy your videos.
I saw the tag that said, "Includes paid promotion", and thought, oh, yes, the stout! Also, really enjoyed the fifty ohm Judgement Resistance (@1:11) And, agreed, solid portable performers at these prices.
Nice review. Like you said, they might not be "lab grade", but most hobbyist don't need the fancy things they would be paying for when buying lab grade equipment. Somehow old-school style cases feel more personal. Even if 3D-printed case is one of a kind, unique design, it doesn't have the same "DIY" feeling.
Checked the site and the Multi DSO is about $74 CDN. A DSO that is capable of 500MHz and a signal generator that is capable up to the AM & FM range may be more useful
The advantages are that you can GENERATE WAVEFORMS. Since almost all circuits create waveforms of some form or another, the ability to generate them externally means you can "inject" such waveforms into a circuit and see what happens. Let's take an Audio amplifier - you can inject a 1kHz sine wave into the input and measure the RMS voltage coming out Then change the frequency to 10kHz and check the voltage again... is it the same, or lower? If lower, then the amplifier is rolling off the treble. Then, measure at 100Hz then 50 Hz then 20Hz and see what happens for the bass response. That was a very simple example.

Nice handy portable multi-tool.
Might have to check that out.
Thank you.
IMO old-school box for the siggen! Nice video, and as far as I'm concerned, if Banggood want to stock your shop, you should let them!
I used the identical Tektronix scope when I was posted to South Port (Portage) in the 80's.

I would be thrilled if I could get a brewery to sponsor me!
Unfortunately, youtube doesn't allow that.
Nice DMM/Scope. The SigGen looks like the one I got, but mine came in an enclosure and is mains only.

Great video as always, Many Thanks.

These little units seem to be getting better. Nice review, thanks. Did you try adjusting the probes to maybe clean up that square wave?
I didn't.
If I had a shielded BNC-> banana plug cable it might help.
The open cable test leads are a strong suspect.
At least you get more beer than what they claim. looks like a full pint from a half pint can. :-)
Do you not have any old school computers laying around that you could look for their clocks ?
I was thinking of looking at the clock on an Arduino, but remember this scope is only a 1MHZ device.
what are the advanges of using a waveform generaator with electronics?

Thanks John, good beginner friendly answer.
You wish it came with a *Chinglish* manual??? Why? Only confuses things :-(
I'd obviously prefer a proper manual, but I'll settle anything over nothing.
Slap something together out of wood, really old school style.
Damn, If I had some spare cash i would buy both.
What kind of 3d printer did you get?
It's an Ender3 V2.
So far I really like it. Hasn't given me any significant problems so far.
@@pileofstuff I got an Ender 3 about a month ago. I've had some amazing prints and some trouble. I do think I am going to get a BL Touch.
You kinda have to be drinking if you want china goods to look good hahaha
