Alll you half-A$$ed electricians -NO MORE EXCUSES!
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.

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