Totally agree. But the only function you ever use is voltage and continuity to check power and fuse. Everything else you never use.

Cheap meters can tell you something, if you know their limitations. I have a nice fluke at woek and at the home shop ,but i got a couple The harbor freight freebies at the house. Sure ,the fluke tells me the outlet has 121 volts ac ,and the harbor freight one says 130. When i turn the power off to replace the outlet ,they both read zero. Not so worried about accuracy with that ,just if its safe being on or off. Still works fine for checking the occasional suspected dead battery for the remote and things like that.
@jonfreeman9682
@jonfreeman9682 21 день назад
@@MrTheHillfolk I agree. I thought of getting a Fluke but realized for home repairs an el cheapo meter works fine. It only has basic functions with cheap build quality but I only ever use voltage and continuity to check batteries and blown fuses and never found a use for all the other functions. For professionals and electronics enthusiasts a Fluke is worth it for measurement confidence and circuit protection but otherwise these harbour freight meters are awesome.
@MrTheHillfolk
@MrTheHillfolk 21 день назад
​​@@jonfreeman9682to be honest, I'm not that impressed with a fluke, being that I work outside all the time as soon as it gets one raindrop on it, DC volts goes thru the roof. 16v on a 12v system? Nope. Pop the battery out and set it on the trucks defroster for 45 minutes and it'll be fine. It's a real headache and a hassle. Save your money.

I started your content by watching the resistor video. I was blown away at how helpful it was. I subscribed to your channel on that video alone and then watched this one. HOLY COW bro!! Such great content!! Maybe I end up commenting on every video. I don’t know, but so far, with two videos down, I am super impressed with how helpful, concise, and well presented your content is. I have used multi meters before for the VERY basic functions and have even watched a couple of other videos here and there to try and figure out the other features. But this videos is by far the BEST. Thank you for the information and the time it took to put this together. It does not go unnoticed and is very appreciated

Thank you so much for your thorough explanation of the multimeter. I've been using multimeters for years and I have always tested for continuity with the ohm setting. I never realized there was a continuity setting. And I always wondered what that symbol meant. And most of the time when I'm thinking I want to check homes. I want you actually check continuity. So thank you once again. Great job!
