Best Multimeter for Drone Building (2026): The Tool That Finds the ShortA multimeter turns two of the worst moments in building electronics into thirty-second checks. One is powering up a fresh board and watching smoke come out because two pads were bridged. The other is a pack that will not charge, which is either one dead cell or a broken lead, and there is no way to tell by looking.Best Wire Strippers (2026): Nicked Copper Is a Wire That Will BreakStrip a wire with a knife or the wrong gauge notch and you cut into the copper. The wire still works, right up until vibration finds the weak point and it fails somewhere inside the insulation where nothing is visible. On something that flies, that is not a nuisance, and it is entirely avoidable with a tool that adjusts itself.
