There are so many of these little meters nowadays which seem to specifically target the hobby market! They are pretty good in the main, for that specific buyer, at least the ones I’ve tried are. When I first used a meter, as an electrical fitter in the seventies, they were pretty much only a tradesman’s tool so tended to be mostly good, known and established makes like AVO, Fluke, Beckmanns etc! I think it’s great that they are now more affordable as long as you know what you’re doing with them!

I remember buying my first digital meter in about 1983 Beckman Model 3020 , I was so excited and kept it in a protective case only using it sparingly . If it had been auto ranging I think my head would have exploded . 💥

Duracell batteries come with an onboard computer that knows exactly when you are most vulnerable, and at that point that computer tells those batteries to leak all over the insides of your new meter.

Or remote control.

@@12voltvids I’ve lost count how many TV remotes I’ve lost to Duracell. Now I only use eveready Lithium

Not a bad little tester, more accurate than i expected. I would not trust the crappy leads at 240v, not what i call safe.

[@jeffescortlx]

It's not too shabby!

[@12voltvids]

They Are rated for 600 volts.

Thanks!

Like the Kaiweets KM312B but has no diode or capacitance test like the Kaiweets does but that unit doesn't come with a soft case. Both are nice ,small multimeters and having a case to cover the screen if you throw it in your electronics toolbox is a handy plus.

[@12voltvids]

Good enough for the toolbox. Will likely throw it in my work truck as lost my meter on a job site. I just use it for checking alarm systems and battery voltages so it will do everything i need.

I recently purchased very similar pcwork pcw02b multimeter. Although not as accurate as fluke 83 in VAC, VDC and "horse shue" pcwork can measure capacity of onboard capacitors which is its greatest advantage as it helped me detect leaky capacitors on my stereo amplifier. Unfortunately fluke83 cannot measure 100s of uFs, so pcwork was well worth the money (I paid it approx.35 bucks new). Most certainly if a fella dont have ESR meter.

What the blue resistors value They in all bloody meters My cheap one keep displaying -1.763v voltage and resistance is screwed up says lipo battery as a short and buzer goes off

[@ACURAOCULTA]

Very nice

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Nice unit. Good thing. If you said bad things about products, they'd stop sending them to you, probably.

[@12voltvids]

It's a basic unit. All i do is show it off and then give them away. Yes I realize there are no fuses on it, just resistor divider. It has no current measurement capability and the input is high impidence. It's double insulated. A severe overvoltage would probably pop the chip but that would happen on a high end fluke too.

we call them leaker cells they went down hill

Durashit

[@deanagoes2791]

Cheap "O" meter

[@12voltvids]

Works for what i use it for at work. Checking the viktage for doorbell cameras and checking continuity
