Solid product(if breaks -check the fuse)

"This is a good multimeter, I use it to test batteries, outlets, etc. It's very compact, rugged, reliable. It did stop working for me after a few months, however, the reason was very simple - blown fuse. A trip to local hardware store fixed the issue (if it happens to you - you need 1 500mAH 250volt fuse - about $1 per. Fuse is in in the battery compartment). One thing I do not like is short prongs that are too s..." Read Full Review »

Nice idea, but breaks in a few weeks

"Great idea, but bad engineering. I've foolishly bought 3 because they are so convenient, but all 3 broke within a few hours of use because the continuity meter on each shorted on themselves (i.e., gave a continual "short" buzz - so useless now).

"This is actually my second. The unit is small enough that I carry it every day in my back pocket. This subjects it to quite a bit of abuse, like sitting on it. After 3 years of constant use it died of two conditions, 1) sometimes the batteries did not make contact, 2) the positive lead developed int …"  Read Full Review »

"My first one lasted several years and when I lost it, I immediately replaced it because I really liked the ergonomics and the fact that the wires are neatly stored inside and don't tangle up in your toolbox. This one died after a year or so: erratic readings on voltage DC and AC, while Ohm and mA ar …"  Read Full Review »

"I use it to perform on-the-fly repairs on the job. It keeps me from having to walk back and forth to get my tool box while I'm in the plant. I like the fact that it has a hard case. It will survive in my pocket. The snap mechanism for the cover is a problem. Also, I want one with a schematic so …"  Read Full Review »
