I suspect my multimeter isn't 100%. The continuity test won't always alarm when I touch the probes, the needle doesn't sweep very well, etc. ,etc. I just put new batteries in it, so I'm thinking it m

At work, I've got a variety of Fluke meters; a Fluke 77* comes to mind as well as a simpler one like the Fluke 113. But at home, I have a Radio Shack knockoff, as well as a Horrible Freight $4.99 spe

I have a Fluke, Harbor Freight, Radio Shack and a few kits I built many years ago. The Harbor Freight one gets the most use. Probably because I don't care if I drop it, loose it or smoke it by screwi

The cheap digital one on sale with the coupon for a few bucks at Harbor Freight is fine for most basic home tasks. As a plus, it is so inexpensive, you don't worry when you bump it and it falls down

Yeah, the one I have I got because it had a needle and I remember someone telling me being able to see the needle twitch was useful. But that's only true if the thing works, and this one doesn't seem

I have a digital one I got at Sears some time ago. I picked that particular model because it also has a temperature probe. It was handy for slipping into radiator cores, for example, or checking the

If you need one ASAP, Harbor Freight has a little "CenTech" DVM that sells for anywhere from free (literally, on sale with coupon)) to $10. I have three of them. They're so cheap, I keep two @ work i

I bought a Simpson 260 years and years ago when I was still working in the trades and it was the go-to meter of the day. I still have it but haven't taken it down off the shelf for ages. If I had a d

to watch the intermittent I have to agree with this. I prefer the analog meters and have several of them. As for the digital ones, I have a bunch of the inexpensive H.F. units - one in every car, one

I've got a ~$20 extech one. came with a type k thermocouple, works fine, seems more likely to last past the first drop. Whatever you buy, do yourself a favor and get a kit of probes. It's ncie to hav

Real cheap (HF-class) meters of today have one big advantage of ones form a few years ago: The test leads are much better made and more secure. A lot of old meters had pin-style plugs that were solde

David, I find the Radio Shack VOMS are not very accurate. I Googled VOM reviews and bought whatever was recommended. They work pretty well except the banana plugs from other cables don't stay in very
