Review on Borbede 168A Mini Portable Digital Multimeter: Accurate DC AC Voltage Current Capacitance Resistance Testing with NCV & True RMS Diode Tester by John Lewis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Don't bother with obscure instructions

Other reviews on this meter are good so I guess it was/is a good buy. So the biggest problem is that for those who have never owned or used an auto-ranging multimeter (not me), the instructions are incompetent and completely incomprehensible. Again, they're confusing and unhelpful, either in the unreadable layout that comes with the gauge or in the more readable PDF I found on Borbede's website. If, like me, you want detailed instructions, your best bet is to delete the instructions that came with it and load the Fluke 80V Series Multimeter manual. Generally, for non-obvious functions, flip the selector switch to the ohms position and press the Select button button until you see the correct symbol on the display. And this information is not found in the so-called instructions. Therefore 3 stars.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
