For all of you guys that think because you have a roll of electrical tape and wire cutters you are Electrical Engineers, you no longer have an excuse for not being able to test circuits.

Harbor Freight has a digital multimeter on sale for $4.99! That's right, FIVE BUCKS. It reads DC voltage, DC current, AC voltage, resistance and has a transistor and diode test function. Granted, it is no Fluke multimeter but it's not $400 either!

If you are going to do anything more than change a bulb, do yourself a favor and get one.

 

can u link me please

 

what is a .. er.. nevermind..i got a LCD Radioshack multimeter sitting infront of me

 

It's in a sales flyer I got in the mail today; regular price is $9.99. The lot # is 30756. I don't know if the sale price is avaliable on their web site or just in their stores. The url is:

a real electrical engineer doesn't need any multimeter






nice find though

 

i figured you had a big $300 one..

 

funny thing is that I had a super old school analog one that is now broken...


but my calculator still works

 

i thought you had a 3d one that projected on the wall or something that you could hook a laptop up to

 

shhhhhh.... don't tell everyone about that one

 

oh sorry

 

there you go again, blabbing about everyone's secrets

 

 

I have an old Simpson analog meter

Ant

 

I heard that guys who buy big multimeters are just compensating for something else.

 

heehee..got me a fluke

 

I DO, I'll stick with the Fluke................
