Out of interest, here are some photos of the test equipment and power supplies I use in workshop. Some of the equipment isn’t necessary and might only be used every few months. But, when I do need a certain piece of kit, it’s so useful to have it to hand. There’s one thing I use every day, more than anything else… and that’s my multimeter.
