Auto range is a must for a beginner. I had some insane off brand meter for years (I'm thinking it was actually faulty) so it was not just daunting but doomed to failure. I bought a Fluke 101 and its been a total game changer for me. The auto range is amazing! However, I'm now searching for a meter that can check amperage. I think this moght be the one, thank you!
Thanks so much for your review. The auto range sounds important for a beginner. I am in the process of learning how to repair old video game consoles. Especially the OG Xbox. The ones on eBay seemed a little too cheap, (starting at $10). Thanks again.
Good video thanks, but I have 2 questions: 1. Why did you mention the make (VENLAB) but not mention the model in the video or in the description? 2. Why does your Amazon link point to a different model (VM200M) which doesn't appear to be auto-ranging, but the one you are reviewing is autoranging? Did Amazon change it for some reason? From looking closely at the image in the video, it looks like the model of your meter is VM-600A. Thanks.
No PNP or NPN transistor tester? Wish it had that too. My old Sears Craftsman has it all and a 20A limit. Most only do to 10A Can't find anything like it today... except it has no lights like today's models admittedly.
AMZ doesnt sell or VenLabs does not sell the 600 on Amazon. Even the links on Amazon go back to the 200....disappointing after 1yr its no longer offered. Makes you think is it really the "best"
These are still on Amazon. But you have to search for a meter with a 20amp dc circuit. I tried to post the names of them but the comment keeps getting deleted.
Bs, I’m a professional technician that deals with control wiring and high voltage daily. I will stick with my Fluke 87v max. Been using fluke my whole career, going on 25 years. Don’t listen to this guy trying to get a cut from sales. Buy quality, buy once cry once.
Don't buy it, heck...don't buy any product from someone who adds an Amazon link to the description, because it's tied to an Amazon store, people only promote this to get commission.
So superficial that it's meaningless. There's no testing to show how accurate it is. There are loads of better value multimeters available. Those special features really aren't if you look at those available. Fuses are a normal to thing in them. Flashlight, magnets also far from unusual as is non-contact testing. No mention of all of the parameters that can be tested let alone ranges and resolution. No mention of safety other than many fuses which probably just means 2. Maybe even just 1? That is not a good investment for most people. Maybe you are selling them? Autoranging is much slower to pick the correct range and give a reading than setting the range manually. It gets better if you spend more money but not on cheap meters like that one.
