It seems as well built as my old HD Beckman DMM, and that was the best there was in build quality..nicer than the F brand in my opinion. Mine came with a plastic case, a set of leads, and an extra negative lead that has an alligator clip. That's handy, because it lets me test in mid air. Just clip one wire, hold the other wire against the positive lead with one hand, hold the meter with the other and press the button. I thought I'd use the locking function more than I do, but it's actually easier to just hold the button. That lets you hold the lead and release the test button, which auto drains the voltage off the wires. If you just keep the leads hot, you can test, but with good and long wires, there's enough capacitance to hold a charge on the lines and give you an annoying shock. All in all, very happy. If you don't need more than 2000 MOhm at 1kV, this is a very good deal. No issue with battery drain, and not sure how you would, as the main switch seems to turn off power to everything.

Since receiving this product I was also able to retire my older multimeter. I did a lot of research prior to my purchase since I needed the tool for 1 job therefore not wanting to spend too much. This tool has all the features as other units costing $100's more, I am very happy with this purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Extech 380260 Autoranging Digital Insulation Tester - Extech PRT200 Non-Contact Phase Sequence Tester - 25Ft Extra Long USB-Printer-Cable 2.0 for HP OfficeJet Laserjet Envy, Canon Pixma, Epson Workforce, Stylus, Expression Home, Brother, Silhouette Cameo, Dell Scanner Fax Cord --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/90591159-extech-380260-autoranging-digital-insulation-tester-250-500-1000v](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/90591159-extech-380260-autoranging-digital-insulation-tester-250-500-1000v) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
