up and down quality.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2014

I'm on my second one of these in 3 years. I blew my first one up by surging it accidentally with a generator. I really like these multi meters. I think they're great and incredibly simple to use. They have a maximum voltage input of 600. I think I killed my other one with around 3000 hurrhurr. At first these multi meters feel a little cheap, but after use they tend to smoothen out a little. I use mine almost daily when I'm on the go with projects and they never let me down. They have a built in fuse for protection and are packed with features if you know how to use a multi meter to it's potential. I've heard of these models having loose solder joints which after comparing my old one to my knew one I can believe. the PCB's have random amounts of solder applied to different internal components. They do seem to be a little cheaply made internally. When you receive a new one of these you have to put the battery in yourself by taking the unit apart, so if you see any dodgy soldering work upon doing so you can send it back for another or a refund I would imagine. Simple as that.

Best I have seen for the money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 April 2012

I have been looking around for a replacement multimeter and this is the best I have seen for the money. For my application (battery, charging system and continuity tests on my Motorcycles) I only need a cheap one. They are all as accurate as each other (0.5%) as the actual circuitry is more or less the same (I have tested this one agains others and it is accurate).

The Draper Multimeter cost me £12.88 but I have spent more on worse kit before. I got a 'lazer' multimeter from Halfords that cost £16 and is very poorly built by comparison. The 'lazer' one does the job and is accurate, but it is very flimsy (would not stand to be dropped), has no hold function (useful when you run out of hands), has no continuity test function, no backlight and only tests a maximum current of 5 amps (so I can't do an 'ignition-on' current draw test on my Bonnie, as that will (or is supposed to) take around 8 amps).

I have since found out from reviews on other sites that the RRP for the Draper multimeter is ~£20 which makes sense. The quality of this kit is what I would expect (and have seen in shops) for £20-£25; that makes it about half the price you would reasonably expect to pay for a multimeter of this quality in the shops. It is an extremely good deal!

Seems perfect for the job.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2015

I got this since I am learning about electronics.

I can't attest to its accuracy but it seems accurate from tests I have done with an Arduino (5v/3.3 circuits).

The metal conductors on the red/black cables are not as exposed as in the picture so I am not sure if it is a manufacturing defect or by design but I am sure I could probably remove a bit of the plastic if required. The battery does not come installed and requires a small cross head screw driver to install, battery came included.

Brief Instructions

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2013

Verified Purchase

Item itself is very good. The meter sits within a robust rubbery casing.
The pull out prop on the back is a bit feeble so the meter doesn't really stand up - you can sort of prop it.
The backlight doesn't stay on long enough for my liking.
and there isn't much by way of instructions - no frills just bare essentials, but then I was new to using a multimeter and probably expecting too much. I was able to find advice and help via the internet though not on the maker's site. I've used it on the car battery & fuses, not yet used on the home electricts, nor on my PC, though this meter is capable of all these..
And not forgetting, this was one of the cheaper multimeters, a very good product.

It's only £15! ideal for the home/mechanics etc etc (like me) with all the features most will need ,comes with a battery & quality leads with covers that can be taken off for more probe exposure or left on with just the tips poking out, backlight could be brighter but is ok, nice bit of weight to it which adds to the quality feel + also has a prop that folds out from the back so it can stand up. Bit of a bargain..!

A decent quality multimeter for the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2014

Verified Purchase

I needed to identify some live and switched circuits in the car and it was easy using this.

It seems high enough quality for the price and worked fine for what I needed.

You have to install the battery when it's delivered and it's an easy job.

Just make sure you don't accidentally hit the hold button at first use otherwise it will just read 0 - standard fare for any multimeter really though.

Fast delivery, works a treat but it smells awful

Next day delivery superb.
Good quality meter works a treat.

BUT... It stinks! The Blue rubberised bumper cover absolutely reeks. I had to put the meter in a bag in the boot of the car whilst travelling because of the putrid burnt rubber smell.

Bought this mulitmeter to help diagnose electrical problems with my car.
Works how it should and provides accurate readings. The only problem was that the speaker is a little flimsy and only makes a faint sound when performing a continuity test. However, it may just be my product which was faulty.
