I purchased this to replace an older Radio Shack model. It works well and serves my needs. I only gave it four stars because as stated in other reviews the audio for the continuity checker is very week.

This is a great little multimeter that is the perfect for portability. It has plenty of features, such as measures AC/DC voltage, current, continuity, resistance, diode check, frequency and capacitance. Has auto power off. Has a cover that folds over nicely with a slot that only closes if the dial is in the off position ( so you don't forget). The cover doubles as a stand. The leads fit nicely on the side with a small plastic flap to cover the tips. When closed, the meter is small enough to just fit in the back pocket of a pair of jeans. A great portable meter that I'd highly recommend!

Very compact and always ready to use. Its design prevents the unit from being left on both by auto shutoff after 15-20 minutes, and by its clever design whereby the lid will not close without the dial being on the off position. I have other meters but many times the battery is dead or they're too large to carry all the time on the job. One caveat, though, is that the leads are very thin( which will affect durability ), non removable, and the probes are short. Not a failing, just necessary for a compact design. Although rated for 600v, I wouldn't use this for over 277v.

I bought this based on good reviews and a good price. Plus, the size is nice, it's not too big. I do guitar repair so mostly I use it to read continuity and Ohms ratings. It worked well until it stopped working altogether. I bought it in March and it died at the end of May. Now it's too late to return. I only used it about 6 times. I thought maybe the battery died but no such luck. Other people seem to be happy with it and maybe I just got a bad one, but I'm out $25, a battery, and I have to buy another multimeter.

I purchased this to basically get voltage readings from FPGA pins and breadboard circuits and I am happy with my purchase.

This multimeter is very compact. I did not face any issue of storing the probes back into the case like other reviewers. However, for the sake of portability, they compromised on the probe wire length. The multimeter is also extremely sensitive and your hands need to be extremely steady to get a stable reading. I worked around this by using test clips - it increased the length of the probe wires and also gave me some stable readings. Auto-ranging sometimes causes readings to be delayed by about 2-3s and it is very difficult to be steady for that long. Stand concept is innovative, but not effective. Its better to take readings by keeping it flat on the table. It also uses button battery and not standard AAA size batteries.

Overall, a good device with few drawbacks.
