Pros & Cons
Pros
It is not written for the diy'er but more for experienced electricians. Compared this to my recently calibrated fluke 87v. Lead testers and temperature tester.
Great item. Very helpful. One thing that could be improved is the instruction manual.
Not a necessity, but handy to have around when needed. Perfect for household use and most hobby projects. Would have liked to have slip on crocodile clips to free up one hand.
Cons
Meter gives inconsistent unstable readings 80% of the time. Temperature measurement is totally inaccurate below 40 deg f. No ncv function switch selection, or button anywhere on this meter.
This product is garbage. It’s a piece of *. Tossed in trash" "obviously false reviews paid for by the seller.
There is only one washer behind one indent, causing the magnets to want to center themselves on the one indent. It has a worthless magnetic strap. Comes with no pouch nor anywhere to put the accessories; of which, the probe protectors were not in my b... Read More
When turned on the screen blinks continuously. Amp; sometimes enters some mode where it looks to be displaying hex code.
Highlights
Quality
Nice sturdy meter gets the job done with no fuss.
Leads are suprisingly decent after a good cleaning of the tips with fine steel wool and alcohol.
An ordinary fuse, if you could find one that fits the holder properly, might maintain an arc in an inductive circuit, destroyin... Read More
Both ranges are fused with both the 9v battery and the two small ceramic appearing fuses accessable after removing the battery cover.
Price
And in reality, good for the price.
It has several functions that i would not expect in a meter in this price range.
, get yourself a cheap carry bag to fit online and youre good to go for very little $$.
So my rating would have to be the famous "good for the money".

The magnet hanger is a nice idea but needs a stronger magnet to be really useful

Overall accuracy seems very good and the meter has an acceptable not overly loud but audible continuity tester and the meter zeros out well when leads are shorted

My worst complaint is though im glad it has a backlight its got a slightly odd look like many it only stays on a few seconds and when you turn it on theres a weird slightly washed out effect on the numbers dont get me wrong the display is easily readable just not as vivid and crisp in appearance as others someone else may not care about or even notice this and as budget meter its not really an issue

Im not really unhappy as i knew what to expect going in the meter works well with a lot of functionality offered but one should keep in mind you can get the fluke 101 pocket meter now for under 50 and even though not as much functionality its got the robust and proven fluke reliability thats been shown in tests on yt just depends on what youre after in a meter overall this meter is not a bad buy but check other options in this price range there are some good values elsewhere as well

One might ask why i didnt buy the fluke 101 a fair question
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
One answer is this meter offers a lot more functionality two i already have a fluke 17b but the main reason was simple curiosity based on reviews
