Cen-Tech Digital Amp Ohm Volt Meter Ac Dc Voltmeter Multimeter,Red

Its not the best of build quality but it works for small projects perfectly.. The battery and transistor testers are extremely handy. This purchase was for this specific meter, due to another that failed due to user error (oops), that was/is the most useful meter for small projects I have ever owned.Note: Emphasis on 'small' projects.

This little beauty is priceless! It is small (size of a wallet), can pop it in my pocket, and it is SO easy to use. Instructions are very clear. I use it to check the volts in my batteries I use with my solar panels. I have a charger attached to the panels and battery but I wanted to see if the charger was accurate and this little baby lets me check volts in mere seconds. Had trouble with my car and used it to check my car battery too! Our -55 degrees put quite a strain on my car battery and so I hooked it up to a recharger and could tell when the battery was fully charged. This is a must have for any "tinkerer". Oh yes, and I'm a female to boot.

As the title says, this is my second one within one year. The first one - the cables must have been bad. Having no extra cable to tell if it was the meter or the cables, I ordered one off of Amazon. The first one came from Harbor Freight Tools, but rather than driving one hour round trip to get it and adding the expense of gas, I decided to order one from Amazon. I received the new one, and immediately took the cables from it and hooked them up to my old one, and it works just fine. So the cables must have broke on the inside or something; I don't know. So now I have 2 of these, both of which work, and they are just as accurate as a Fluke or anything else that I have compared them to.For the price point, I don't have anything bad to say about these. I would recommend one for anybody needing a good quality multimeter. I'd maybe keep an extra set of probes though.

I bought one of these cheapie meters in 1988 to use on construction and mine sites figuring that if it got lost or damaged it wouldn't be any big deal. Well, the damned things still works perfectly so I recently bought a couple more for my crew. Maybe it's not as accurate or fancy as a Fluke or Simpson but for trouble shooting and field calibrating industrial instruments out doors in all kinds of weather, it's good enough.

I bought a second one whaen the probes failed. The first failure was the connector at the meter end of the probe wires. It's not very replaceable, so I bought another whole unit. After a year of very light use, the black wire pulled out of the black probe. About 1/4" of copper wire was bare, but there did not appear to be any way to reinsert the wire and expect it to work. I have soldered the bare wire to the probe tip, but I doubt that it will be satisfacory. When that fails I will tin the bare wire and call that a probe, Meanwhile, the meter does its job very well --- if you can get a connection with the probes.

This is a wonderful product that does what is supposed to do and is cheap. With cheaping an everything, it cost me about $11 dolars and it helped me to find what was the problem with my dryer. my dryer was not creating any hot air and wasnt rotating . with this miracle and affordable product I could find out that the problem was the heating element and the thermal fuse. I ordered the parts from the amazon site and I received everything in 2-3 days. Now I can enjoy my warm and dry clothes again. Thanks to this volt Meter.

Works well - so far

I bought this because it was an inexpensive multimeter that said it took AAA batteries instead of the more standard 9v. It does not have a panel on the back to open for easy changing of batteries, so I unscrewed it upon receipt to see, and it has a 9V battery in it.It is also NOT a Centech multimeter.What I received was NOT what was advertised.I am going to return this for sure!
