Works, mostly

Sometimes it will give wild readings until you switch it on and off a few times. I'm pretty sure the readings that seem "correct" are a bit off too then. Also came with a dead battery.

So solder in a new one!?

Bill, how hard can it be to solder in a new fuse? Is it some weird type, or hard to get at? Or are you just easily discouraged? :)

fuse is soldered to board!

well, I promptly blew the fuse, and hoped there would be a spare inside. When I opened it, I found that instead of spending money for fuse clips, they just soldered the fuse ends directly to the board! Other than that, it works fine, I just have to use the 10A connection that only has 0.01 amp precision.

Something's Rotten in Denmark!

WOW! Erik discovered why these are on the surplus mkt. He got some truly screwy values in his tests; This is prob. why a big batch of these have become surplus-because of a very few bad ones they pulled them all back. Mine has been perfectly great for over 2 years, and Caveat Emptor doesn't apply with A/E. Test yours out on a known value, such as a battery voltage, and if not good, e-mail allcorp@allcorp. They'll arrange to send you another, or a refund as you prefer. They're very good in adjustments of dissatisfaction; I know this from experience. Regards, DRH

Small but Mighty!

I first reviewed this great little multimeter more than 2 years ago. I still love mine, and am doing this review because I just used it today-to calibrate a much larger multimeter! It is worth mentioning that it's intelligent to keep a second battery handy, esp. if you are an unintelligent type, making the mistake of not setting it to "off" when finished! The repl. battery is A/E's BAT-12 ($1.25) A smaller, less expensive, or more reliable for the size multimeter cannot be found!
