Review on πŸ”§ Toughs M101 True-RMS Digital Multimeter - Auto-Ranging, 6000 Counts - Electricians Pocket Multi Tester with LCD Backlight by Junior Andreano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lab accuracy and precision for $20.

I've just done some testing and am very happy. The numbers are big and easy to see, but what really amazes me is the accuracy of this multimeter. I mainly use it for voltage, AC and DC. For example check AC grid voltage. My power monitor may read 120.1 and the M101 stays a step away from that 120.1. I also have M102 and it is exactly the same. When the performance monitor changes, M101 and M102 change. Up to 0.1 V. I checked the line frequency. 60.00 to 60.01 Hz. Again, these are both units. The local utility regulates the grid frequency strictly. When handling multimeters that pull down a few volts, the accuracy and precision I get is what I expected from $100+ lab quality instruments a few years ago. I don't know what Tugs is doing, but the performance is great. The backlight freezes for 15 seconds. I wish there was an on/off option. The other is in a situation where I may need to control the tension for more than a few minutes. I can turn off auto-shutoff, but I get a reminder tone. I'm new to this, so I'm not sure if it can be disabled. Nevertheless, this is a precision multimeter that will not be returned.
