The ToolPROAutomotive Digital Multimeter is designed specifically for those working with automotive electronics. While this multimeter will work like any typical multimeter when measuring DC/AC voltage and DC amps, it also has the ability to test dwell angle for older engines, provide a tachometer reading as well as has a data hold function. The compact design and large LCD screen of this multimeter makes it easy to hold when working with vehicles and the durable rubber case will keep it protected from damage. An experienced understanding of electronics is recommended when using a multimeter, especially when working with a large voltage. Just looking for a standard multimeter rather than one specific to automotive electronics?
