Bangood kits!

Hi.
On Andy's (Radioman) last visit he brought a couple of kits he purchased from Bangood. I was suitably impressed and ordered two myself:

For the extra cost, the cased tester looks a better bet than the 'bare bones' version, which has an infernal ZIF socket that makes it difficult to neatly case up. The term 'Transistor Tester' rather understates the versatility of the tester, which is also an LCR tester. I know that several forum members, myself included, have built bought these testers as  already built boards - I've got two which have worked well and continue to do so, but I struggled to remove the ZIF socket from the PTH PCB to case up the PCB, without damaging the board.  With a kit, you don't have to fit the ZIF socket if you don't need to.

I've had an Atlas transistor tester for many years - can't recall the model. It allegedly tests FETs, but the result in always the same - 'no or damaged part,' yet with the same FETs, the Chinese testers happily identify the connections and a readout of the test results.

As to the DFM kit, my only concern would be protection of the input. I can't see any reference to the maximum input voltage and there seems to be no  protection built-in. In reading the reviews I saw mention that a series resistor should be added if the input signal is over 5V. I would have thought that a cap would offer more protection, but then no-one is going to get too upset about blowing a fiver.
