Review on TRMS 6000 Auto Ranging Digital Multimeter: Battery Powered, Alligator Clips, AC/DC Voltage, Amp/Ohm/Volt Multi Tester by Anthony Shields

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decent metre, very satisfied

I've always wanted a big name in metre, but for the money I really couldn't justify buying it. I need a meter mainly for automotive and home use with some tube amps refurbished. After a lot of comparing and researching, I decided on this one. Tired of the brand, I'm very glad I made the purchase. Well made, feels solid, normal measurement lag for a DMM and so far readings are accurate. The no-touch voltage feature is okay, not great, and only seems to work when plugged into an outlet or switch. Example: While working on our well pump, I had to remove a faulty 220V switch and temporarily twist the wires. The meter didn't buzz when I looked for V no matter how I held it, it didn't wave when I touched the wires with the meter. NOT GOOD, especially @ 220. Besides being a great gauge, I just wouldn't trust the "No Touch" feature unless I'm missing something here. As others have said, alligator clips are junk and the wires aren't threaded, no big deal. I am completely satisfied with the purchase and will definitely buy again. I also found a hard case at Revane. Fits like a glove, COMECASE describes it as a case for 117/115/116, I recommend it.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Generally good but...
