Are there any products you own - that you'd like to write a RoadTest Review for?

cstanton

Predominantly we setup RoadTests based upon discussions we have in the element14 Community team, or when we're approached by suppliers or manufacturers that would like their hardware 'tested'.

It occurs to me though, that many of our members may already have hardware, equipment or kit that they could or would like to write a RoadTest for, maybe we could even supplement these with accessories to help the RoadTest along.

We would need some way of deciding which product to setup the page for to RoadTest, but we've had a number of times now where people have stepped forward and said they'd like to RoadTest an item that they already have. It may have to be something that Farnell stocks, fundamentally.

Let me know your thoughts.

    I have a phenomenal tool I'd like to show off (carried by Newark/Farnell).

    It needs a selection of connectors. Is there a proposal process to negotiate a road test where e14 supplies some connectors?

    That's part of what we're thinking about with this thread.

    Also, since you're a Top Member you can always ask in the forum there and we might arrange something. Slight smile

    Speaking of connectors, this week I was thinking that my desk was starting to resemble a Farnell advert...

    • 144x Neutrik SpeakONs
    • Multicomp 4mm² bootlace ferrules
    • Penn Elcom 19" punched rack panels
    • Multicomp 4mm² tri-rated switchgear wire 
    • Knipex cable shears
    • Knipex wire strippers
    • Knipex bootlace ferrule crimps
    • Knipex cable dismantling tool
    • Wiha nut driver

    so perhaps there is some scope to combine a number of stocked products into a useful product-focused blog.

    Not only that but like many will have done, I've gone through a number of tools along the way so potential for comparisons between tools along the way.

    One of the issues perhaps is capturing enough video/photo content, especially in the field, to then be able to later create a blog around. I suspect that will soon change with the wider adoption of camera glasses.
