Detailed Review:
First off thanks to all that allowed me to do this road test. Secondly this is my first ever review so I hope it's good.
My first impression was that this is a very nice unit, documentation good, they give you the test results for the meter.Very informative instruction booklet.Solid, well made, just looking at it and you can tell that it is durable.The unit itself is a nice size, doesn't get lost on a workbench or fall into an engine compartment easily.
Large screen easy to read even from 3 feet away. And backlighting helps alot when working late nights running down electrical problems on someones vehicle.Continuity tone and other beeps are loud. Large dial and big buttons are nice especially when wearing gloves.Leads are good and long and the interchangeable probes are a nice touch and are easy to hold on to. I did not use all the functions on these meters.but what I did use I used a lot on a range of things like trouble shooting home electrical problems, home appliances,auto electrical, some circuit testing, fuses, batteries. I even used the thermocoupler to check my kids temp. (underarm of course)because the thermometer was broken, works great.
All in all for the things I used this meter for I cant complain one bit. It is one of the best made meters I've ever used. Worth every penny, and I would highly recommend these to someone else.
