Correction - AC means Alternating current, I don't know why i said alternative, stupid me

@MrMOGHammer 6 лет назад

most people would still understand the meaning even if you misnamed it. At least it was not confused with Direct Current.

@jamesoncalderon9207 6 лет назад

Great video... don't worry about that

@james77011 5 лет назад

alternative current worked for me... I'm sure all viewers knew what u meant 😀

@Mega6501 5 лет назад

I didn’t even notice.

@makarios8908 5 лет назад

Junky DIY guy its alright its clearly understood

@camurgo 5 лет назад

I'm an electronics technician (so, not a beginner) and I think this is the best simplest most concise introduction video to multimeters I've seen. Great job!

@reeferman206 Год назад

Definitely. This was my first time ever using one, and no issues figuring it out right off!

@xObserver 5 лет назад

Thanks for being gentle and humble to test in cheap one that everyone could afford.

@danielgjorgjieski783 3 года назад

I have the same one🤔🥴

@randomretroplays3123 Год назад

I have a cheap one , but for the simple projects it's fine 👍

@nathaneulslavens4182 Год назад

The cheap one doesn’t beep?? So does that mean you can’t test continuity? When ever I try with mine nothing happens.. but I have no idea how to work it. But no video I’ve watched has helped me figure out how to work it. Maybe the free one I found is broken.

@aspinaki 2 года назад

No one taught like you in such an easy way. Your work is really appreciative. Thanks buddy. Keep it up.

@j.b.9581 4 года назад

Thank you for this video. Simple, straightforward, clear. And you showed how to use an inexpensive AND a more expensive multimeter. Informative and not 'talking down' to people who want to learn. Bravo. I subscribed.

@cili7 5 лет назад

Excellent video mate. Concise, informative, and easy to understand. Exactly what I wanted to know, and no extra crap that I didn't. I went through almost 10 videos until I found your one and its by far the best. Well done.

@kimb9539 5 лет назад

Great teaching. The best I have found for beginners, like myself. Thank you, from America!

@michaelmoss5976 3 года назад

For an old guy like me....this video was perfect! Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and post!

@MusicGameFinatic999 4 года назад

Dude, great video. Im in my senior year of my electrical engineering major and i just bought my first handheld multimeter and this video cleared up all my confusion immediately. I've only used multimeters before in the University's EE lab, so i just needed a quick tutorial like this, and you nailed it. Thanks for the tip at the end btw about the auto-adjusting multimeter, I'm getting that next time.

@sm9300 3 года назад

Perfect rundown mate, I'm impressed with your teaching methods!

@anthonywilson8366 6 лет назад

This was the best video I ever saw on this topic thanks

@Chazzz61 4 года назад

After watching half a dozen flogers trying to find out what I wanted to know on this subject this was the most easiest to understand! Thank you 🙏

@prestelli2012end 6 лет назад

thank you so much for this video. by far the best no b.s. tutorial i have seen on youtube.

@michaelward8418 3 года назад

Excellent video for a beginner like me. I was able to diagnose my washing machine as needing a new control board vs a new motor with the content from the first five minutes of your video, I have never used a multi meter before. Thank you for saving me $200US!

@psocretes8183 Год назад

This is fantastic. You even had the same cheap multi meter I have. In England we have been advised to expect power cuts due to the war by Russia. I have an electric bike with a 36 volt 500 amp hour battery. I have bought a step down transformer from 36 to 5 volt. It has USB connectors on it. I can run 5 volt LED light strips, tablets and phones etc. I also bought some heat pads that I can fit into my clothes or sleeping bag if it gets cold. This tutorial has helped my understand better what is happening. Thanks.

@mundaring1 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your lesson. This was not just informative, but wonderfully clear and engaging. Teaching is an art. You are a master.

@maryjohnson2402 6 лет назад

Thank you! Just what I needed to test parts on a faulty dryer!

@vertwoods191 4 года назад

Great Video - we were struggling to find out why our solar panel was not charging the battery and we discovered a small lead fault. Thanks - clear, comprehensive and well explained

@georgemclaughlin8432 Год назад

Brilliant! Following this video I attempted to sort out the wires in the ceiling in my garage (just loose wires, not even a ceiling rose!) and now the light is working as it should be. many thanks!

@SamPearman 3 года назад

I'm very happy this was the first video I decided to watch on this topic. It's really well laid out. Great job mate!

@Kieran96LFC 3 года назад

As many others have said, thanks for using the cheaper multimeter. It’s what many of us have as it doesn’t make sense to spent £100s when you’re doing DIY (especially first time using multimeters). Awesome video.

@davidhusband9283 5 лет назад

Wow! You are the best teacher, I have never understood this before watching your video! Thankyou so much for sharing :)

@DM-zk5wu 4 года назад

@user-qo2fg6kb8s 5 лет назад

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful in explaining how and what setting to use for different things. That is not necessary to have a multi-meter with a lot settings for stuff around the house. Again Thank you!

@maxcole1961 5 лет назад

Great introduction and well explained. Thanks

@reeferman206 Год назад

Video helped a lot, thanks! I was just told by the auto part store that my battery was toast. Spent $165 on a new battery. Then I randomly came across my multimeter and figured I would test my old one myself before getting rid of it and found out I completely wasted $165, my battery is fine! 🫤

@PABackpacker 6 лет назад

@Raynor21 Год назад

Very helpful video. The most comprehensive I've found so far. Wish I'd watched it before I bought my MM. Guess I can do without temperature though.

@melissavaughn8724 3 года назад

Finally an easier break down. I still have a few questions but it's probably my bot being confident with it. I really wish I got one without all the dumb numbers. Nobody's explained that when I try to check my relays I never know the number to use. I've replaced my battery and my alternator twice so I know I need to check my relays & circuts but been stuck for days bc I always get stuck on which number to use. I refuse to spend a ton until I've checked my relays. I'm getting closer to doing it lol
