Review on HOLDPEAK HP-37A Amp Ohm Capacitor Tester: Auto Backlit Digital Multimeter for DC & AC Voltage, Resistance, Temperature & Battery: Positive Diode Voltage ℃ Reader (Red) by Darrell Kiley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazingly designed and well working digital multimeter

I love being able to give positive 5 star reviews and got another chance with this product. So many very good options and features. I compared this gauge to a $250.00 Fluke and the average readings were the same within plus or minus less than 1.0 percent. Function matching: resistance, ac voltage, dc voltage, milliamp current and 10 amp range. The standout features of this meter are a large green backlit display, a very well working autorange function and an extremely well working continuity function that is clean, noisy and stable and appears to have an improved delay circuit similar to Fluke giving accurate and extended readings without question. The auto-off feature couldn't be better. The thick soft vinyl cover can protect it very well when it falls. The positive and negative alligator clips slide right over the metal ends of each test lead's probes, ensuring the connections stay in place, completely hands-free. (see DC voltage test chart below). Finally, the included 9V battery comes boxed and insulated and is not factory installed like cheap gauges. It is user installed like Fluke. I'll be buying at least one more of these, maybe 2 for family members who are electricians. It's a keeper! I received this gauge as a promotion in exchange for an honest and unbiased review which was easy to obtain. Pictures below from left to right: DC voltage measurement, AC voltage measurement, continuity with screenshot, resistor with 12.42 kΩ (color code on 12 kΩ resistor, plus/minus 5%)

Pros
  • Professional voltmeter
Cons
  • poorly thought out
