content: Got a couple USB power bank cases. Not long after installed batteries, one is already no where to be found.Got also three more charge doctors. At less than $2 each, I feel every USB charger in use should have one of these on.And, ya, a Fluke863 for about $100 can be counted as a purchase of recent month. it had a few blank lines and needed to put some pressure on the ribbon connector to fix.
