Not overly thrilled with the Pokit design
Got it today. Somewhat disappointed in the fit and finish. The protective tip cover color doesn't exactly match. The wire clip attachments feel like cheap plastic. The switch feels cheap and like it won't hold up. It slides into the continuity detent fairly well when going from Volt to Amps, but it tends to jump over the continuity detent when going from Amps to Volts.
While the case looks great at first, it's not fully functional. You can't put the accessories into the pocket in the front. They don't fit when you close it. So they need to float around loosely. There's pretty much no way to add the accessory kit attachments in the case, so they will be easily lost.
But the BIGGEST issue I have is the bend radius of the cable!! It's far too tight. There's not quite enough wire for you not to have to pull it tight to get the probe to lie in the recess. This puts a lot of strain on the cable, both coming directly out of the Pokit, as well as when the cable goes into the probe.
I feel the probe cable is going to break very easily and quickly.
Hopefully the device actually functions.
This is just from the first two minutes of looking at it. I'll have to test measurements later on.

I found a slightly larger case on Amazon and swapped my kit over to that. I also didn't like the alligator clips, they didn't stay attached to the probes very well but I found a fix for that. I've made some review videos on each of these items, have a look and you may get some good ideas.

I'm really disappointed too... the switch is really cheap and to set the right mode you have to fight to find the correct position. I also got mine with the voltage fuse physically broken in the shipping, i asked support if it's possible to have a spare fuse and i'm still waiting for an answer. Overall experience with this campaign is really disappointing

Packed this way, everything fits and the case closes without issues.
