Multimeters - Some things are just worth bragging about

I have had many test meters on my bench some good , some not so good.. I had come across the AstroAI DM6000AR . Read a lot of great things about it . Very low price tag ,so I thought I would check it out.

  • PROFESSIONAL LEVEL features include Auto-Ranging capability, and True RMS for measuring both AC Current and Voltage
  • EASE OF USE: Convenient features like Data Hold, Large LCD Backlit Screen, Auto Shut-off and Hanging Magnet, and Kickstand make taking and recording measurements easier than ever before
  • IDEAL FOR COMMERCIAL settings where it can handle the demands of a long workday, from the durable exterior to the wide range of heavy-duty capabilities
  • Built-in F400mA/600V and F10A/600V explosion-proof ceramic fuse tubes; Double Protection, more secure and reliable; The fuses can protect the multi-meter effectively; Overload protection on all ranges. 3 Year Warranty provided by AstroAI. Note: Please take off the cap before using the test leads.

 

Test results are very impressive and very accurate .. it comes with a device for testing Transistors and caps as well , If you are looking for a low cost meter with all the bells and whistles this may be of interest to you. The only negative thing I can say about the meter is that it does not come with alligator clips for the test leads.
