Digital Multimeter, Auto Ranging Pocket Digital Multi Tester - AC DC Voltage DC Current Resistance Diodes Capacitance Transistor Measuring Instrument

I was initially going to return this because the size of product in photo appeared to be larger and robust. However I decided to keep it. Cons: Test lead wires are thin gauge. I probably wouldn’t use this on higher voltages. The meter isn’t very rugged. Wouldn’t use if I were a professional. Pros: It seems to work. Because it is smaller in size and thin when compared to better higher cost meters, l decided to keep in my office desk drawer and use it when working on simple repair and other projects from time to time.

I bought this (Zotek) Digital Multimeter to replace a RS (brand name abbreviation) multimeter that I can no longer find to purchase. It is about the same size as my RS meter, but instead of opening like a book this one has a cover that hinges at the top of the meter and flips fully over. You really can't use it as a stand, since it won't support the meter without folding up, but it does sit well on a table with the cover opened all the way. To close the cover, the selection dial has to be set to the left (there are two "OFF" positions) "OFF" position before the cover will fully close.It says it is a "True RMS" meter, which I like. It has 'auto range' but you can manually change the range too! It has all the features, in a small meter, I was looking for....DC Voltage (600V max), AC Voltage (600 V max), Ohms resistance, Diode testing, Continuity testing, Capacitance testing, and Frequency/Duty Cycle (I don't use or need this one too much). Auto off was a big plus too! It turns itself off after 15 mins. of non-use and the feature itself can be turned off if needed! It uses 2-AAA batteries that are under a panel, with a screw, on the bottom/back of the unit. The test leads secure in the side pocket by flipping a little door up (to release them) and down (to store them)...It seems just like what I needed for around the home to replace my RS meter. Nice size to hold in your hand when working. Seems to be fairly accurate (within one to two volts of my other meter).It has a "one year warranty" that comes with it and even says so on the box and in the small instruction folder included (along with a hand strap). The only problem with this is that it gives NO CONTACT INFORMATION if you do have a problem with it! There is no company name on the box! There is no contact information whatsoever for questions or warranty concerning this meter! (It does say on the box "Made in China", so that will give me a starting point!) Once past the 30 day Amazon return window.....the unit is all yours, even with a one year warranty! I'll keep my fingers crossed that I have no problems with it! Otherwise, I'm happy, at this point, with the device!

Great meter for the money. Keep in motorhome for emergency. Easy to use.

...but it's small, and it works for 99% of the stuff I need it for. I wanted a meter that I could keep in my toolbox full time, so it had to be small. This thing was cheap, and the cords are contained nicely and everything fits in my toolkit for when I suddenly need a meter. Exactly what I was looking for. I trust it more to check on an AC hot wire than I do my little Fluke hot wire detector.. That thing lies sometimes if things aren't oriented perfectly.

Perfect multimeter for the weekend warrior. I've used this multimeter to test spark plugs, alternators and a slew of other automotive tasks i've found myself a part of. Its honestly the perfect size for a go-bag and even your pocket! Get this one.

It's compact and been reliable so far. Easy to use. Doesn't take up much room in my every day carry tool bag.

It creates false reading and scratchy digital displays.

I find it a bit awkward as far as the case goes. The cable storage is awkward as well. The cables are thin and not detachable. Electronically, it works well enough, and the Auto-Off is very welcome.
