🔧 Etekcity A1000 Professional Digital Multimeter - TRMS 6000 Counts, Auto/Manual Ranging, Measure Voltage, Current, Resistance, Frequency, Continuity, Capacitance, Diode Test, Temperature Review

Again, I've used other multimeters before, but this Etekcity has quickly become one of my favorites. The large LCD display immediately catches the eye. The numbers were large, sharp and had good contrast. Even in direct sunlight, I didn't have to turn on the backlight to read the display. All keys were clearly arranged. The turntable has not jammed. The digital readings seemed stable and accurate; little to no turnover. The only thing that bothered me was the constant voltage function and the…

Pros: Works great, generally satisfied. Would buy again. Would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the following negatives. You can insert a screwdriver into the probe to open the connector and it will be stuck. never mind I blew a 600mA 6x32mm ceramic fuse and was trying to find a replacement. There is no such happiness. 600mA is hard to come by, 600mA so 6x32mm is almost impossible. However! I measured the diameter with vernier calipers and it is actually 6.3mm (actually a bit more). You…

Simple and straightforward dial adjustment - separate AC and DC voltage settings; the instructions are easy to understand; I like the additional auto-ranging feature; I like that it measures voltage, current and resistance in both AC and DC.; I really like that it runs on easily available AAA batteries. I've only used this to test a car battery and the results were the same as my battery tester readings; repeated on another machine with the same result. So far I'm confident I can get accurate…

I've been working with counters for over 40 years and I'm very skeptical about cheap "counterfeits". I've seen tons of them come and go. However, Etekcity has done a good job here. While I don't expect it to last as long as my Fluke 87 or 77, I've been using it for a few months now and this gauge lives on my workbench. I didn't expect this to happen. I just wanted to take it to the 'rental desk' if someone needed to borrow it, or take it with me where there was a higher risk of it being…

So far I have only performed very limited tests on the accuracy of the measurements made with the MSR-A1000. One thing that interested me was the sensitivity of the instrument when measuring frequency. Using an RF signal generator and an oscilloscope, I found that the RF input level required for a stable frequency reading was much higher than specifications. For example, at 3MHz and below, the required RF level for stable readings is 70mVrms or less, and at the maximum frequency that the meter…

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Yes, I saw Dave's video on EEVBlog. This is one of the best $35 multimeters you'll find on Revain. Compared to other measuring devices in this price range, this is not a problem. It comes with good quality test leads, alligator clips and thermocouple wire. The obligatory signal tracking test with comfortable cables went well. There is no pause delay in the audio signal when the wires are touched. Haven't tried it with my good BK Precision test leads, but I'm sure…
