I'm an automotive service advisor, home mechanic, and hotrodder. I found and bought this meter myself and it's been fine for my use. I had bought a few junky meters over the years and could never bring myself to spend the money needed for a pro level automotive meter. But this brand, Innova makes a line of automotive timing gear that works well, and I am happy with their middle timing light. So I gave this a go. I noticed I need to "wake up" the continuity beeper on mine, as you showed. After I rub the probes together for a moment, they signal easily and repeatedly. As to the tension on the plug ports, it makes me a little happy because I don't expect them to loosen up over time. Also, some things you didn't mention. I like the storage clips on the side of the meter, they make it easier to hold in one hand while contacting something with the probe on the meter, and at the same time apply the other probe with my free hand. There's an elastic on the back to hold to things, and there's a stand too. I'm the opposite of you, I'm ok with it. I bet I'm their target audience.

@@3Repete please just throw it away and get a meter that works like one should. AstroAI has a great line of meters that are around the same price of this one. Except, they actually work out of the box. Tests with your meter should be consistent and accurate. Helping to eliminate confusion when troubleshooting. I know you’re only a hobbyist, but it’ll save you time in the long run.

Mine works great with the beeper setting, sometimes the ohm reading jumps around. It has worked well for me as a home mechanic... But im open to other meters that can do more for the same price. I think auto ranging is a must for me. Just looked at your amazon and that meter seems so much better for the money, thank you!

@@thesneak281 there’s another brand called AstroAI. They’ve got some really good stuff at a similar price. I’ve got a few videos on them and also some of their meters in my store (link in video description). For sure would recommend checking them out. You’d be surprised the difference in quality/accuracy compared to the innova meter you’ve been using. Should make the occasional electrical testing a lot more straight forward

Not trying to say you’re wrong but I have this multimeter in my hands right now and it chirps the second I hit the two leads together and even moving them around to get many different contact points. It never leave the tone until I pull away. So if that’s your major issue, which if mine were like too, I would have a major issue. Wonder why yours didn’t work well?
