### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by G***N on 31 October 2012*

I have had a digital Radio Shack Multimeter for many years and it works ok. What interested me in this meter is that it has extra functions like capacitance and hfe. In the past, I haven't really had much of a need for these functions but, over time, it has become harder to obtain parts like capacitors and transistors. Sure, you can order online for a dollar or two, but then you have to pay 6 to 8 dollars postage and wait. So, this meter could help me use some of the parts I've collected over 30 plus years. I don't think you can beat the price, not much more than a bottle of Jack Daniels. The quality is good, everything looks solid, and I'm very pleased so far with the functionality. It comes with batteries but just toss these and put in Duracells. I've had too many problems with off brand and "bunny" brand batteries leaking. The included test leads are pretty good and there is a test lead storage feature on the back that keeps the leads from just dangling when not in use. Interestingly, and perhaps helpful for us who are drinking Jack Daniels while testing, when you switch to a specific mode, the applicable "jacks" light up to make sure you're using the correct ones. The negative test lead was a little "loose". That is, you would have to "jiggle" it to get things to read correctly sometimes. The fix for this is pretty easy, just insert a small blade into the lead to "spread" the connector. Any good tech knows that you have to prove that the measurement equipment is working before you fault the test item. If there is one nit, it is the capacitance range, shown as "nfarads" or nanofarads. Most of us geeks use "microfards" or "picofarads". So, you have to mentally move the decimal point 3 places but not a big deal. I tested a few caps and they seemed to read ok. I don't have a need for absolute accuracy so precision is not a problem. I just want to know if the cap is good or bad and about the value expected. The meter does take a few seconds for the measurement to stabilize but this was not really a problem for me. The "stand" holds the meter at a convenient viewing angle.
