Yes, CS is not very ready to answer. I think they almost ignore small customers. (I forgot about that, but I didnt have problems with anything I ordered)
I was ordering some other things from them and there was no problem, some electronic devices, PC devices etc.
Maybe for you
Im not so practical (dont have much experiecne with all that), but Ill try to manage (first problem is that I dont have these parts, Ill have to find it in some store, and find wires, etc, I dont know different types of wires very well etc, but Il ask friend for some advice :o )
I had 3 DT9205 (different in housing but same inside circuit & ranges)
3 died within 3 years. one meter last around 1 year only. Im bit heavy user. one meter had a issue that contact plates wear out rapidly.
all 3 had wrong measurements sometimes. I had to open meter and clean contacts of selector switch.
So my idea is not to buy these craps. at least go for cheap auto range meter.
their accuracy is decent. but not reliable.
I can buy Fluke meter from total i spend for those cheap meters. never buy these again.
Now I had a same meter (brought locally) its now 9 months old. I know it will die withing next 6 months.
Im not so heavy user, maybe itll last more. If it measure s current accurately for a year Ill be satisfied, itll be great improvement over previous one
I finally made my own leads (new MM still haven arrived), although Im not very satisfied with wire I’ve got. I think its 1,5mm2 but it consists of smaller wires, so I hade trouble to install them in banana plugs too.
But, immediately current measurement of my 3$ ebay MM improved.
I managed to measure 3,3A on one directly driven XML with full trustfire flame, and 2,3A on UF-2100.
I hope Ill manage to get some better wire, I live in a small town and I think there are no place wich sells them…
(with dx leads I bought, trying to improve over stock leads, results were maximum 2,0amp)
