00:00 – This is NOT a regular quadrature rotary encoder!

02:08 – Tool Tip, Pin Vice

05:41 – EDC tool shootout, Victorinox MiniChamp vs Gerber Dime vs Olight Otacle

06:34 – We’re in like Flynn!

07:13 – New Lab Jack for the Tagarno microscope

08:09 – Of course that’s how it works

09:59 – Why is this not used more often?

12:29 – How it works

14:49 – Is there another example of this type of encoder? if not, why not?
