🔧 ALLSUN EM3085A 3 3/4 Digits Autoranging Pocket Digital Multimeter Mini Multi Tester for Home Measuring Tools - AC/DC Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode, and Continuity - LCD Display Review

Pareto principle multimeter. This is a relatively inexpensive pocket meter that can do most of the jobs you need a meter for. It can't do everything and short wires aren't interchangeable, but the whole package is about the size of a deck of cards. The size and form factor really appealed to me. I bought the AAA battery version because I needed the NCV function. The NCV sensitivity of this meter is reasonable but not outstanding. I'm not 100% sure it will find the wire in the wall immediately…

I've bought this counter before and found it useful. I wanted to add one to my work trailer so I ordered another one. It seemed dead. I could not turn on the device.

To access the battery, you must unscrew the back panel, not the sliding panel. As it's brand new I didn't want to remove the cover for fear it would void the…

I let the trainees borrow it. They're cheap enough to be consumable (meters, no trainees). Interns buy better gauges when they get a company card. It can be difficult to close the case if you do not fold and insert the test leads correctly. The EMF/NCV function works well but can be too sensitive in some situations. Capacitance accuracy is enough to tell if a capacitor is well under range or dead. You get a beep and light for continuity, but no light or beep for high voltage sensors unless they

Love the size and convenience of a counter like this in a travel tool bag. I will try again as I was very disappointed with this counter. When I received it it was dead on arrival (DOA). I suspect it was the battery, there are no instructions on how to change the battery. After carefully trying to find a spot for a battery, or a door, or a peep-point, or any clue as to how to open the device, I broke it, yes I broke the damn thing. Very frustrated that with reasonable intelligence and slightly…
