worked 2 months. Haven't looked into the warranty yet.

Has worked perfectly for 2 months. Waiting for the warranty issue to be resolved. Will update you. So I was emailed that it will be replaced. That didn't happen. So I just replied to a comment. Let's see what that does. I won't hold my breath. it is now April.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Volume

The other options work fine so far but the main one is not

I bought this tester and 4 months after the isolation test the function just stopped working. The rest of the options still work fine, but the main one doesn't. Very sad because it suddenly happened when I was using the tester in one of my projects.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Somewhat wrinkled

Better than expected

Better than expected. I would give it 5 stars but the instruction manual isn't great and the screws holding the back in place are difficult to remove and put back on. (I don't use it often enough to leave batteries in the device for long periods of inactivity.) Inserting and removing batteries should be easier.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Poor repairability

Do not buy for capacitance and resistance meters

Insulation resistance measurement provided inaccurate information resulting in weeks of delays and wasted time and money. Requested a replacement for a supposedly defective cable. Bought a Klein tester from Revain and what was "faulty" was actually perfect. I contacted EXTECH and they didn't say anything helpful other than sending the meter in for calibration. I just send everything back for a refund.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Concise instructions

I am very satisfied with this purchase

Bought for what I thought was a one time use, need a 1000v megger to test wire insulation. Since I received this product, I can also dispose of my old multimeter. I did a lot of research before buying as I needed a tool for a job so I didn't want to spend too much. This tool has all the features like other devices that cost $100 more, I am very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • The list will be long.

A good meter is best for electrical testing

This is a good meter. It appears to be built just as well as my old HD Beckman DMM and it was the best build quality. Better than the F brand in my opinion. Mine came with a plastic case, a set of wires and an extra negative wire that has an alligator clip. This is handy because I can use it to test in the air. Simply secure one wire, press the other wire against the positive wire with one hand, hold the meter with the other and press the button. I thought I'd use the lock feature more often…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here
