🏭 Manufacturing Facility Technician Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Kim - Maintenance Supervisor
"Solid performer for routine diagnostics and setup. The rechargeable battery is a big plus for remote equipment checks. Only downside is the power adapter—it’s 220V only, so we had to use converters on some older production lines. Otherwise, extremely satisfied."
