More than enough for home use

Date:July 25, 2011

"You can get this one for under $20 and that's a bargain.
As a professional in the electrical field I think this is a decent, easy to use and sturdy instrument.
You can't compare this one with a Fluke that cost 20 times more, but for every day use I highly recommend it. A lot better the old Radio Shack it replaced.
For your own safety, get familiar with the functions and operation before attempting to use it if you are not familiar with electrical instruments.
If properly used, you can expect many years of service."

Great Meter!!.

Date:December 6, 2010

"I use this autoranging meter all the time. Never lets me down. Good battery life and the cover sure has saved this meter many times. Do yourself a favour and throw out the cheap test leads and buy good ones. The meter does not have a auto zero feature, but the backlight and ohm buzzer feature are very handy. Well worth the money."

Decent household meter

Date:July 18, 2010

"If you get this meter on sale you'll be very hard-pressed to match its value anywhere else.

Pros:
- very good range of measurement capabilities beyond just the usual volts/ohms/milliamps
- relative reading and data hold features eliminate writing & calculating
- audible beeps on key commands and tone on continuity function for convenient eyes-off operation
- great high-contrast display with remarkably good backlighting (bright white)

Cons:
- almost clownishly oversized (removing the blue vinyl sheath/glove makes its dimensions appear a bit more reasonable)
- the foldaway plastic stand is a complete joke (does not have click stops so it tends to flop around)
- the included probes are cheap/flimsy and don't last long"

Good Multimeter

Date:January 24, 2010

"Works good, is a little big, but it's built well and has a nice rubber casing to protect it if you drop it.
Mine uses a 9 volt battery, not the 1 AAA it says.
Also, it would be nice if it came with the temperature probes (#0520037) I can't seem to find them, went to my local CT and no luck."

awesome meter

Date:November 2, 2008

"I picked this up at $20.00 and can't believe how well made it is. I use it in my camera store to test batteries. compared to all the 'cheap' $20 battery testers we have gone through this is the rolls royce. wish it had paddle contacts as well as needle contacts. runs on a 9 volt battery not included."

Great meter, even not on sale

Date:September 19, 2008

"I am a handyman and business owner who uses a multimeter at least a few times a month, and have since I've probably been 10. I bought this meter on sale (about $30) about a year ago. It is great. I do have one other expensive Sperry meter w/ a clamp-on ammeter (which is necessary for my work), but if I didn't need the high-range ammeter function, this #52-0052-2 would be all I need. The temp probe is ridiculously cheap at only about $12, and it's a great function. The display is huge and very legible. I also think the beeping continuity feature is great -- no need to be constantly glancing back at the meter to look for the 0.0 ohm. Even at its regular $60, it's a good deal. I think it was once on sale for even lower than the $30 I bought it for."

Great Meter

Date:June 5, 2008

"I originally bought this meter as it had all of the features I required for my line of work. However when I got hired on to a big company they insist that all meters be CAT III (this meter is a CAT II), which is a safety rating. I have since spent $100's on meters that do what this one does.
I know that comparing this meter to a high end meter is not a fair comparison. However for light use this meter is a good choice. If you are using a meter everyday, the extra money may mean everything, including your life.
I love this meter so much i have 2 of them, just wish it was a CAT III."

How fast does continuity tone respond?

Question:

Some of my more expensive meters take what seems like forever to generate a tone during continuity testing. You can short the leads together and count to 3 or 4 before the tone appears. Nearly useless.

How's this one?

Answer:

The tone is right away. I have not noticed any time lag.

MyDadisGreat

1 year, 2 months ago

Answer:

Very fast. Manual mentions 3 samples per second. I could not detect any delay between shorting the leads and the tone starting, other than the delay if my probe tip was oily or corroded and was not making good contact..

How does temperature probe connect?

Question:

The temp probe says on the package it is for this meter but it comes with two flat blades that can't plug into the meter anywhere I can see. Is there an adapter available?

Answer:

It should be in yellow on the front of the meter.

Answer:

Temperature Probe has an adapter for the older versions of the probe. All new probes come with adapter.

Answer:

I had the same issue. Just send a message to customer service and they will mail you the proper adapter. Apparently the newer probes come with the adapter.
