Hi,

I got email from Tmart.com and they have a meter on sale for $7.46:

There’s also a code, “SORRYWE”, for add’l 5% off. I’m not sure if that’s individual or not though…

I just got mine in the mail today. Ordered a few weeks ago when I saw this post from JohnnyMac. It’s okay for a cheap meter. Comes with a 9V GB battery (not installed - you need to unscrew two screws on the back to install after taking off the yellow cover). Instruction sheet is in English too (I bought another multi-meter from FT and it didn’t have an English manual).

Okay for casual usage I suppose. It’s not auto-ranging so you might go crazy having to turn the dial.

I’m probably in the minority here, but I like non-auto-ranging meters… always have, since college (well, actually, I don’t remember if they had auto-ranging meters back then :laughing:.

They just seem “faster” to settle to me…
