Review title: Inferior to Craftsman, READ THE MANUAL!
Product review: Seemed adequate testing batteries, but takes a little longer to stabilize than others I've used. The main problem was a design issue:Every other multimeter I've used, no matter what brand, had the same convention - the fused inputs were only for use on DC and only for 10-15 seconds every five minutes. Had I read the manual to this multimeter, I would have noticed it's backwards. The fused input is for everything, the unfused input is only DC for so many seconds, etc. Things don't go well if you miss that point.So, after a couple of DC checks, I switch the multimeter over to AC and stick the probes into an electrical outlet. The test leads EXPLODED. Not kidding. 5" of copper wire actually shot out of the black lead, leaving the insulation intact except for a pinhole. Unit seems to be fine, but both leads are toast. Scared the heck out of me. Huge cloud of acrid smoke.Bottom line, I'll get another Craftsman...
