Review on ProsKit MT 1270 Digital Multimeter by Brian Nicholas

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad situation when measuring low current

At first the meter was very attractive and I used it a lot. I once unfolded the small stand on the back of the instrument to hold the meter upright. When I pulled back the little stand. It just broke at the pivot. The second thing I noticed was that the positive (red) connector was getting very weak and not making good contact with its counterpart on the test lead. Bad situation when measuring low current. The third and final straw that broke the camel's back was that the power button became very unstable and in many cases wouldn't even stay on. I looked to see if I could clean the contacts but the entire assembly was obscured and there was no way to apply any type of contact cleaner inside the switch assembly. At this point I should start looking for a replacement.

Pros
  • Package dimensions: 5.4 cm LX 15.4 cm BX 24.0 cm H
Cons
  • Some small things
