Review on Gardner Bender GMT-318 Analog Multimeter: A Versatile 6-in-1 Tool for Precise Electrical Measurement, AC/DC Volts up to 500V by Kirt Phillips

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Resistance measurement is useless

I've tried AC voltage and it's mostly accurate. Resistance measurements (ohms) will be violated. It reads the same no matter where I set the dial. Shorting two wires together gives 3, 30 and 300 ohms. It seems very unlikely that this could be all. The dial on the left adjusts it a bit, but it's mostly useless. If you turn off the meter and go back to resistance, you'll get a completely different reading. I'm amazed how the counter can be so inaccurate.

Pros
  • Multimeters and analyzers
Cons
  • Quality
