This is a must have testing tool for not only at home use but for automobiles and in emergency situations can even be pressed into service at work. Excellent price point with user support on the Klein web site. Be advised this is a non-autoranging multimeter which means if not dialed in properly you risk toasting one of two internal fuses. While replacement fuses can be purchased from Klein it will pay to have at least a pair of these hard to locally source fuses on hand. Like all entry level multimeters you also must be mindful of the fact you have to manually shut off this multimeter by positioning the dial at the 12 o'clock position otherwise you will have a non functioning meter until you replace the pair of AAA batteries. Be sure and refrain from using non identical replacement fuses as these fuses are low amp fast blow fuses. In the event you lose or destroy this multimeter it will NOT break the bank due to its modest initial cost.

I bought this meter to replace an old analog. I used it four times and it no longer works. Tried to use the continuity tester, shut off by itself and no longer works. When I needed it most. Very sturdy product but apparently the internals are junk. I tried new batteries and nothing. Four uses and over $30 dollars. Over $7.50 per use. I bought this product because I always have been able to get quality at Home Depot, this was a big, pus ridden, thumbs down.

This is functionally a very nice meter. It does exactly what the specifications say it does and is probably great for most people especially if they never use the current features. Just be very careful not to blow either of the current fuses. They are specialty fuses and will run you $13 each, almost half the value of the meter. The 200mA jack is fused at exactly 200mA, so in reality you can't measure current close to 200mA without risking blowing this expensive fuse.
