Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is a nice autoranging multimeter for the handyman who does not want to pay for a fluke. The fluke is a rolls royce and the extech is a ford. For the price, this multimeter is fine.

Cons

"very disappointed. Another bad knob. After a year it's almost unusable. Clearly it was used, a return probably.

The fuses are pinched between two circuit boards. The fuse is some freakishly tiny model, even smaller than a 5x20mm.

Shipping

Extech customer service was exceptionally fast in responding to my email questions, which is a nice plus.

I provided my proof of purchase and an rma form and was shipped a new (updated model) multimeter, which arrived within several days.

Shipping was free without prime and it was on sale too.

I bought this one but didn't arrive with the case.

Competitiveness

It's just as good as the fluke i use in my lab, and 1/4 the price.

If, like me, you don't have a professional's demand for that, you could probably just as well buy the non-rms version: the 420.

Otherwise, it has matched up to fluke in most metering respects.

If you are in need of a very solid dmm for daily or professional usage, fluke or the higher end extech models are probably bett... Read More
