Great Value, February 29, 2008
By JPA914 from South Carolina

"I got this on sale at Sears and used pick-up at the store. The transaction was very easy and the pick-up was very simple fast and friendly.
The meter itself is very good for the pice. Actually, it would be good at $25 without the included bonus AC voltage probe. No tool box should be without these at this price."

Multimeter and Voltage Probe, June 18, 2007

"Very nice and super value, especially if bought on sale!. The rubber sheath makes it easier to hold as well as protecting it. Large, easy to read screen.

Wish it had a pouch to carry them plus the cords. Also wish you didn't have to use a screwdriver to change the battery."

"I love this set up. The small voltage detector gets more use than the multimeter. Its a great little tool. The multimeter is great for most people unless you really need the added functions of the fancy shmancy ones made by Fluke, etc."

"The combination of these two items in one package makes this a great value for the money. The MultiMeter has a large numeric display for easy viewing and has many useful functions. The Volt Detector is a handy tool to work safely and prevent someone from grabbing live wires."

Works great, May 2, 2007

Performance		5 5

"As an appliance and heating and cooling specialist I found this product to be equal to my fluke in quality and functions, not to mention a much better price. for the money spent I don't think there is a better value out there. I use it daily instead of my big Fluke and found it easy and convenient. It does measure both types of voltage, you just need to know the dial position to put it in to do so, and remember it will not set this dial setting for you. I recommend everyone who is discouraged with this product to read and understand how multimeters work, as well as the instruction acompanying this product. it should serve most peoples purposes very well."

Good Deal @ $12.99, April 17, 2007

"I'm not sure how the other reviewer arrived at the conclusion that this meter does not measure AC voltage; it measures AC and DC. I've used both and found that it works fine. I've had no problems with the meter; it works great and is a good buy @ $13 with the AC voltage detector. The AC detector is great for validating hot/cold runs without breaking the wire."

"I have had no problem with the meter at all. My father-in-law the electrictian has used it before on random things around my house when he is here and he has not found anything wrong with it. The tester I have not used yet but i can wave it around power and it will go off. So I can't really say anything bout it. On my car restorations the meter has done alot of good rewiring the cars."

Buyer Beware, March 5, 2007
By HonestReview

Reliability		3 5
Value		5 5
Performance		3 5

"The description for this product states that it will measure AC current and this is completely false. This model only measures DC current so if you need to check current in your home this will not work for you.

Aside from false advertisement, the meter is average at best. When measuring resistance the meter fluctuates wildly. Continuity tests have only been 90% accurate in my experience. That is problematic when trying to troubleshoot connections.

Voltage and Current readings seem to be okay but the accuracy of the meter does not match the number of decimals it will display. In most cases you can only count on the tenths place for accuracy and that is all.

It is a good value if you know what you're getting into. I have just trown this thing in my tool bag and take it with me everywhere. I don't worry about it in the cold or getting smashed because, hey it only cost $12.00."

"you can't beat the price for this meter. I've had mine for 6 months now and it was worked great. I must agree with the other guy that reviewed this, the voltage detector is junk. Is does beep all the time. All you have to do is move it and it beeps. It does work as far as sensing electric but if you keep in your tool bag it will drive you nuts. But the meter is worth 20 bucks alone (i got mine on sale)."
