Review on πŸ”§ Amprobe HD110C IP67: The Ultimate Heavy Duty Multimeter for Rugged Environments by William Anacker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Robust well built 10,000 count DMM, if a little unconventional

This DMM is interesting to say the least. Mine came in a battered, unsealed box with a dead battery, no internal pockets for the meter and accessories, with marks and scuffs on the rubber holster - clearly looks like a demo or return. HOWEVER, Revain (for some odd reason ;-) has reduced the price of these devices to $138 for a limited time (a few weeks?). So I bought what I thought was a very expensive digital multimeter. I believe this instrument is made in Taiwan (maybe by Brymen?), has solid construction, is IP67 rated, has a very good 10,000 count resolution and pretty good accuracy specs. The meter also has a CAT IV, 1000 volt safety rating - the highest in the industry! The included probes are good (not great) and made out of hard plastic. Autoranging is fast despite the display's slow refresh rate. Finally, the function switch feels the best of all my DMMs (although it's a 360-degree switch with no second "off" position). Disadvantages of this meter: poor backlight (too dim); only 2 AMP current cap with weird HRC fuse; and a terribly slow continuity test. Another design flaw that may pose a problem for some people is that the capacitance is measured from the high current connector.
