Analogue Meter Multimeter, Amp Volt Ohm Voltage Tester Meter and Diode Continuity Test, Accurately Measures Voltage Current Amp Resistance Capacitance Dual Fused for Anti-Burn

I purchased three of these to keep one in the garage, one in one of the cars, and to give one to one of my sons-in-law who has just started learning how to work on cars. I have so far checked calibration of two of them, and both work well, especially for the price.This is a ‘mid-sized’ analog multimeter, nice and compact. Analog multimeters work better than digital multimeters if the signal one is observing is not a rock solid DC level, but moves a bit, as is often the case. On a digital meter, all one may see is flashing on the numbers on the readout. This particular meter has a 20,000 ohm/volt input impedance, which will (typically) not excessively load down the circuit being measured, and change the signal. Accuracy on these has so far checked out at close to +/- 3% worst case, better than the 5% specified. However, accuracy depends somewhat on the range one is using, and in what section of the range the needle is. Note also that this meter does not measure DC current greater than 250 mA (1/4 A), but I have other (inductive) DC current meters for that, and I do not want my son-in-law measuring currents (yet). In summary, this is a nice little analog multimeter, especially for the price, and is reasonably accurate, much more accurate and trustworthy than the smaller 2K ohm/volt meters one sees for sale in the $4 to $10 range, but is inexpensive enough to keep in the car for troubleshooting (I also keep an inexpensive code reader in each car). The rating of five stars includes the price as a consideration. However, I do not recommend this meter for use in one’s job—get a better meter. I would suggest a Simpson, or a nicer Sanwa.

My new meter is okay; except the X10K on the ohms scale doesn't work. That's disappointing.There is no plastic carry case.

A good basic swing arm meter.

Great meter, great service. Thanks

The meter works fine.

Un dispositivo nesesario en la casa y vehículo, funciona bastante bien para personas comunes, no profecional

Impressive for its price. You can actually consider having several for different work areas. I started with needle-type multimeters and still like them somewhat better than digital. Size is very convenient too.
