Digital Pocket Multimeter - 6 Function
Good general purpose meter.,
September 14, 2010
"I have had all sorts of meters. Expensive to cheap. Meter does it's job. fairly accurate. Used it to troubleshoot AC control board. as well as 240AC. does have the contitunity check with tone. works good checking car fuses. I keep it in the tool bag for quick voltage checks etc. I forgot and left it outside one night- it rained; I removed the batteries, poured out the water, left in the direct sunlight all day to dry out. Replaced the batteries- still on the job. Not bad."

"Nice easy to use multimeter for the average homeowner; comes in very handy from time to time. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another one and they've dropped the price since I bought mine, so it's a better deal!"

"I bought this multimeter thinking it would be good beginner for my kids to learn about electricity. While testing our second 9VDC circuit the meter went blank. Thinking it was just the battery we replaced it with no luck. Now all we get is a decimal point. Back-light works, hold function works but nothing else seems to. I cannot recommend this meter, I guess I'm lucky it was inexpensive."

"Very nice and affordable meter. Very easy to read. Have always had the dial indicator type meters and with this being digital and the numbers large, it is no problem in seeing exactly what is being indicated. Very light and easy to handle."

Very basic, a little on the cheap side.,

"This multimeter would be good for your average diagnostics. But I would not recommend it for someone that needs very accurate readings. Or where safety is involved. When I first put it to use it was very erratic and sometimes would not register anything. Or flash numbers very quickly. It is supposed to have a low battery indicator so I did not immediately change it. After I tried for a while to get it to work, I finally decided to change the battery. That seemed to fix it for the most part. But occasionally it still would not work properly. It seems like I have to wiggle the leads where they plug into the unit and it will work fine. A quick way to check the connections is to put it on the audible continuity check and touch the probes together. If you get a nice clear tone, it should be ready for work. One other small complaint, the function selections are a little hard to understand. Why can't they just use words like "AC voltage", DC Voltage" instead of little symbols that all look alike?? Another reviewer mentioned there is no auto-off feature and that is also annoying."
