This is for all those starving students that need to buy their first good, low-cost multimeter. This meter has really impressive overall feel for being so low-cost. We've played with a lot of cheap-o DMMs and found that this unit's function selector has a great, solid, clicking feel to it. This unit has good continuity (rare for low-cost units), and decent probes. We even left a meter on to test the battery life - it lasted more than 170 hours (7 days) before the included 9V gave out!
This multimeter does all the standard functions of lower cost meters, but here are the main reasons we like this multimeter:
- Loud continuity sound (many meters do not even have continuity)
- Current/Voltage sense
- Battery included
- Very solid clicking feel to the function selector
- Decent quality probes (not great, but they'll hold up for years)
- Strong connection from meter to probe
Things that this DMM is lacking:
- No auto-power off
- No auto-ranging
- No frequency measurement
Features:
- DC Voltage - 200mV/2V/20V/200V/600V
- AC Voltage - 200V/600V
- DC Current - 200uA/20mA/200mA/10A
- Resistance - 0 to 20M Ohm
- Continuity Buzzer
- Diode Test
- Max display: 1999
