This is so much better than the useless piece of shit I was.

I am an Audi technician. Unlike my other colleagues, I actually use my multimeter. I am satisfied that I randomly compared the readings and they turned out to be the same. It's way better than that useless piece of Matco crap I used. Go buy if you need. And you save money at the same time

Pros
  • doping 🔥
Cons
  • functionality

I prefer Fluke 88V

I bought it in November 2015. I have many multimeters. This one is my favourite. (I prefer this to the $380 Fluke 88V auto counter I have.) Yes, the Fluke is fine, but I think the way you have to auto-range is a little clunky . I can't say enough good things about the Power Probe. I think the price is excellent value for money.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Great digital multimeter for the price!

I have a Cen-tec DMM from Harbor Freight for $36. I should have updated waaaaaaayyyyyy before! I only paid $55 for this Power Probe DMM, but it has many features that my Fluke colleagues have with a high level of accuracy! TRMS, DC amp, detachable alligator clips, 5ft cord are just a few of the many features I use. This DMM is freaking cool!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Frequency

I'm a mechanic and it gets a lot of use

I use it probably a couple of times a week and in the two years I've owned it I've only changed the battery once. I'm a mechanic and it's been used a lot. It features auto-ranging, a backlit display, and alligator clips. It can also be displayed with the rear stand and magnet for hanging. A really great tool for the price.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Upgradable

Poor device, best diagnostic, testing and measuring tools

This device looks good, but what a terrible device! With the wires connected the meter reading jumps everywhere as you check the voltage (AC or DC), when you move the meter it reads from 3 volts to 60 volts in a 12 volt system, tried my fluke wires. in it and it wasn't any better, checked the AC, it gave me a reading of 350 volts in the outlet. Definitely NOT what I expected from a force probe.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

I purchased this DMM based on my experience with Power Probe products. I have a Power Probe III and am impressed with the quality and durability of this tool. This digital multimeter is another Chinese multimeter. I appreciate that the meter comes with well made probes with alligator clip adapters and a temperature probe. It's handy to have a magnetic hanger. The meter's display is easy to read and the functions are not too complicated for the average user. All in all, this is a decent counter…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Some issues

If it's not accurate, it's too much free

The company's video shows that this DMM was designed to meet the needs of today's automotive technicians. I was disappointed when trying to test continuity/resistance in min/max mode; it did not work. The advertisement had to clearly indicate the limitations of this function. I tried to measure the 12 volt pulse signal to the wheel speed sensor in min/max mode. The display repeatedly showed 4.5 to 5 volts MAX. Other meters showed 11.5 to 12 volts. (This particular vehicle sends a 200ms test…

Pros
  • a handy thing
Cons
  • so far so good

The best ratio of price and quality! Used professionally!

I can't say enough about this multimeter. I make my living from my tools, so I appreciate the good ones! I bought this to replace a similar Matco gauge that had failed. There are many DVOMs out there that are under $100 now, really too much. I wasn't sure if I could get the best value for money until I found this. The name of the power probe told me it was a good choice. What I like: - Compact size but no function - Comes with very useful alligator clips for your probes - Backlit screen is…

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Legacy Model
