Budget Multimeter

Budget Multimeter

This is a very inexpensive multimeter and we cant believe how well it works for the price.
Perfect for someone who doesnt have the funds to buy an expensive Fluke Meter, this measures AC and DC Voltage, Current, Resistance, Gain and even has a built in transistor tester.
Infact the only minor niggle that we can find is that it doesnt have a continuity tester with that lovely audible tone - so you will just have to measure the resistance instead.
It comes with a set of test leads.
