    The jay car unit at this price point comes with life time warranty… Another option…I went with that unit. CAT.NO: QM1321.

    No comment on this multimeter itself, but I recently switched to one that takes AA batteries instead - much more convenient than keeping 9V's on hand. If this is your first multimeter, have a think about if you'd find that annoying too.

    • Crushader on 11/01/2021 - 11:40

      Thanks for the tip! Just about to research and get a multimeter myself to check if my car battery / alternator not running as it should, I rather use AA/AAA rechargable batteries for this kind of tool, no wastage disposable 9V or have to keep some in stock.

        I just discovered DC clamp meters. So much easier for checking solar panels etc. So I'd advise getting a DC clamp meter (does AC as well) which also works as a standard multimeter (comes with the standard two probes). Doesn't do diode testing etc, but as a basic voltage, continuity, currently tester within 3% it does the job.
        I bought one of eBay for $20 - $10 (shop back promo). Takes 2 * AA's.

          could you share the link please? Thanks.

            @Cpt Archer: Clamp meters are awesome. Great at checking voltage and super easy at checking current. Just make sure any you look at are DC and AC. A lot of the cheaper ones are AC only.
            I went the ebay fluke version at about $100. A quality item. Voltage, current and continuity only which suits me. I'm sick of replacing crappy cheap multimeters. The poor man buys twice or in my case about 10 times…. I'm not very clever….

          • tunzafun001 on 13/01/2021 - 00:10

            @Cpt Archer: Go with Fiesty's comment below. This eBay version is rubbish..The DC measurement side has packed up.

    • PB on 11/01/2021 - 11:49

      Any model you would care to recommend? AA/AAA sounds more logical

    • vol4321 on 11/01/2021 - 14:24

      One downside to AA/AAA batteries is when you're doing something like an LED test, the battery voltage might be lower than the FWD of the LED.

  • adb1984 on 11/01/2021 - 12:09

    I am actually looking to purchase a multimeter just to work on some hobby stuff. So any recommendations for a beginner would be awesome.

    • Vortex99 on 11/01/2021 - 13:02

      Try this $7 Aliexpress multimeter I recently received. You'll need to BYO 9V battery.

    • Russ on 11/01/2021 - 16:30

      First recommendation is safety. Make sure:

      • all sockets that can be used for testing current are fused. It'll say this on the front of the case, if any sockets don't mention the fuse, they're not fused. Also check the price of replacement fuses, they're a special type of fuse and can be VERY expensive ($26 each for many Fluke multimeter fuses).
      • the probes should not be hard plastic, they should be a little flexible. Hard probes will snap at some point, possibly while you're using them to probe 240V mains, and pushing hard to pierce through surface oxidation. Dangerous situation.
      • the probes and the multimeter should have shrouded banana plugs. One day a lead will come loose, if it has a bare metal end, electrocution is much more likely.
      • The wires in the probes should be well insulated. Admittedly you can't tell this without destroying the leads, but any probe lead less than 3mm in diameter probably isn't properly insulated.
      • As mentioned above, many multimeters take 9V batteries, which is inconvenient when you discover the battery is flat. Some multimeters take two AA or AAA batteries, so you can steal the batteries from a remote control and get the multimeter working again.
      • Auto-ranging is nice to have.

      I recommend this multimeter, it meets all the above specs. Also works fine with eneloop AAA batteries:

      You may be able to find it cheaper on Ebay or Aliexpress. There are also clones under different brand names like "Zotec".

        thanks for the info!

  • DrRetail on 11/01/2021 - 12:19

    ah bummer, i just bought this yesterday and didn't realise it was 9v… that is a real pest

    Title: AstroAI Digital Multimeter DM6000AR
    What's include: AstroAI WH5000A True RMS Digital Multimeter

    Which is it?

    • superuser on 11/01/2021 - 13:47

      Manufacturer AstroAI
      Part Number DM6000AR
      Item Model Number WH5000A

  • McFly on 11/01/2021 - 15:02

    Think I got the last one.

  • bighalf on 11/01/2021 - 16:08

    I wouldn’t use any of these sub $50 units for mains voltage applications etc. They have very little if any input protection, and could easily blow up in you hands in some extreme cases.

    For automotive work surely be good enough to check voltages, basic low current parasitic leak testing etc.

    Meters with a bar graph might be helpful to spot fluctuating voltages etc.

  • Russ on 11/01/2021 - 16:33

    OP, 6000 counts is 3 ¾ digits, not 5 ¾ digits.

    • McFly on 11/01/2021 - 20:40

      Yeah, I was wondering where those two extra digits were.

    • superuser on 12/01/2021 - 11:05

      sorry, i have no clue, just copy and paste from amazon product description

      • Russ on 13/01/2021 - 02:08

        A lot of Amazon sellers don't know what they're selling! Never trust the description.

    Just got it - impressed so far.
