VC99 survives 240v in Ohm measure mode

(and so have all the others in this video, but the VC99 is the cheapest and I was almost sure it will go out in flames. It also recovers quite well.)

I knew I made a good buy with this multimeter. :)

Im liking VC99 too, much better then the snazzy $12 harbor freight DMM I originally considered. Descent upgrade. Measures current great after increasing the wire gauge on the probes.
