 Have you gotten your RDA of Lead? June 18, 2008

Received tester today and all looks and works as advertised. Not advertised is that once you open the package and start playing with this thing, you will see a small sticker on the cord letting you know that you are now being exposed to lead! How much more would it cost to make a thing without lead in it? I, for one would pay a little more to not be living with heavy metal contamination...

Great, with two minor flaws November 23, 2007

I had been eyeing this multimeter for a while, and when it went on sale for half its list price, I grabbed it. It arrived promptly and works very well. The unit has a solid feel to it and the blue rubberized case around it and the "stand" behind are good features to have when working around places where it might get bumped like in the engine compartment. I found the included alligator clips a useful bonus - a lot many of the ones in the mid thirties price range don't have this.
Two minor flaws - it needs a 9 volt battery and doesn't ship with one. That was a minor annoyance - not many people have these just lying around the house. Why not design the meter using AA batteries or just ship it with a 9V battery?
Second is that there is no sticky film protecting the (rather large) LCD display. For a meter that is meant for harsh outdoor environments in which it might get scratched, this is definitely an oversight.
But overall I am pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it as a solid entry level multimeter.

This will perform any test a neophyte electrician will do. The instruction manual is well written and understandable. Instructions provided for most ignition tests of classic cars and sensor testing of newer cars.
Good deal February 9, 2007

I'm a big fan of the high-end Flukes so I've worked with the best. Well, these defintitely aren't the best, but you can't beat what you get for the price. I got it for my brother for his car and it does the job well.
First, the bad:
1. No auto shut-off. You gotta make sure you turn it off or the battery will just keep draining away.
2. No auto-sensing. You gotta set the dial for the range you're looking for. But hey, I like it so much I don't care that I can't be so lazy.
And the good:
1. All the features. You get all the standards PLUS a tach and a dwell-meter! That'll about cover your carbureted cars.
2. Price. You can find multimeters that can't do the extras for the same price and even more. Great bargain.
3. Alligator clips. Simple things but it'd be a pain without them.
Plus, this thing will handle all the home electrical work.
As for the rest: I won't vouch for its durability but Actron is a decent company. They go towards affordable but not junky. The case is made of a light plastic, but it doesn't seem fragile. As for the tolerances, they're not bad:

So for the price, a good deal.
