Review on πŸ’‘ Plusivo Digital Multimeter: Voltage, Resistance, Current, Continuity, Battery and Diode Multi Tester with Probes, Backlight, Case, Stand - Enhanced SEO by Khaled Ribeiro

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointed with electricity

You have a Harbor Freight ohmmeter that will last for many years; the fuse may be bad. It was a great counter for a guy like me. Yesterday everything went wrong when checking the voltage of the landscape lighting cable. Quickly ordered this Plusivo counter, which arrived today. . . The next day. Out of the box, the readings were insane; a solid bar flashes, meant to be a battery indicator. I changed the batteries because I couldn't find anything in the instructions about a solid latch. Take advantage of "free" download instructional e-books to ensure proper cable routing and meter use. Received 120+V readings from a 120V outlet. To get a reading, the pins had to be fully inserted into one of the connectors. This counter is very different from my old one. I'm not sure if I like it. I have to admit that cable clamps are good for testing landscape lighting cables and lighting fixtures. The tiny tools included in the kit are cute but not practical; the same when stripping wires. Electrical tape is not my favorite 3M brand.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Requires outlet
