      Comments about RadioShack 29-Range Digital Multimeter:

      It's an excellent product. Just be careful not to blow the fuse. TIP: If you are measuring the current, start with MAX 10A jack first. If it's lower than 0.4A, you can then connect using the norma jack!

            I've used many multimeters and this one is is for the more seasoned or literate user. Some cheap multimeters are "dumb-proof" where it will display rough voltage right away. If you follow the instructions, it works.

              Works great! Ive had this multi-meter for over 3 years now. Had to replace the fuse after about a year and still going strong.

              Comments about RadioShack 29-Range Digital Multimeter:

              I have Flukes and other high end electronic test equipment and I bought this as my through away meter for doing high voltage tests (70kv) and I can tell you that if you use this meter properly it works as good as my high end Fluke Graphing Multi-meter.
              I've used it to measure current, to display output voltage from a 150kv high voltage divider and in both cases the meter works perfectly. It has a nice time out feature that saves battery life. It also has a feature where if you put your probe in the wrong slot for the selected use it will beep to let you know that you have made a mistake. Not even my Fluke does that. So if used properly this meter should work for any user. If you don't have a clue about electricity and multi-meters, splurge and by the "How to use your multimeter" book in Radio Shack and learn to use this multi-meter before you slam it Noobs.

                Just bought this a week ago, and it is not giving me the correct reading. It read the DC voltage 3 voltage higher than the actual measured value. Don't buy this product!

                          Total Junk! I've had two and they both failed the same way. Should have learned my lesson the first time. I wounded have expected better from RadioShack, but they wouldn't even consider taking it back or exchanging it. If they are wise, they will take it off the shelves before they ruin their name. Could be too late.

                            I have operated a small engine repair shop for 12 years now and for the last three years I have used this meter to test electrical systems. I have enjoyed just how user friendly it is since it is both automatic and digital. Finally, when it did quit working, I learned that its only problem was a blown fuse which I replaced without charge since the manufacturer provided a spare fuse under the cover. Great instrument and a great idea providing an extra fuse.
