    Equipment that you regret buying

    what the title says :-) have you ever bought something that you regret the day you got it? For me the Uni-T 803. The accuracy of the unit is a joke... total junk...

    Aoyue 968, rubbish piece of junk.
    Xytronic soldering iron. Blowing mains fuses. Turned out to be faulty design. Got refund on the unit in the end.

      I am investigating so hard before buying new a tool, that I should be called as crime scene inspector.

      Especially those days with the help of the internet, the search engine in expert hands it can do miracles.
      I am about to discover the build quality of the very latest YIHUA rework stations with an 28L pump.
      But up to date I have nothing to nag about.

            Many years ago I bought a new Sencore Stereo Signal Generator to repair my Sony receiver. Worked too much made a lot of money and bought a Carver receiver. I put my S.S. # in unit. But only turned it on once! Bought a Heathkit version of a Huntron Tracker. Used it twice. Bought high end logic probes/pulser used less than 5 times. Other stuff too but can't remember what they are! That's how much they got used!
