RE: Advice on buying a Digital Multimeter needed

["Hawes,Timothy Edward \(GEG\)" <haweste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Darren,

I've bought a handful of these for work for "diagnostic use only"
so
haven't bothered with calibration certs etc. They're basically used for
troubleshooting etc. and are cheap enough to be easily replaced if
damaged. Another advantage of this particular one is that it comes with
a thermocouple for direct temperature measurement.

Meter itself:

Soft carry-case here:

Very happy with it for what it does, and how much it costs :-)

HTH,

Tim.
