My old hobby multimeter failed after 20 years. It gave me a good run. After watching your very thorough review I purchased this meter. Thanks for helping me make an informed upgrade.
Hello. I just wanted to thank you for the video. Especially the part where you tested the amperage. I too, made a video about this meter because I was impressed in its performance for the price. However, I wasn’t able to show precise amperage readings. Seeing your video makes me like and trust the meter even more. I use it for quick diagnostics on cars. Usually, if I have to be really precise of a reading, or maybe a much lower reading, I’ll use my oscilloscope with with a high amp or low amp, amp clamp. Like you said, for most hobby work, and I’ll add a lot of automotive tests, this meter is more than capable. Thanks again for the video. I’ll check out some more of your others videos.
I'm not a professional electrician but wanted a cheap universal multimeter to help me repair easy fix things. And I also want it to be precise 😀 So this is the best specimen I found.
Un tip!! Tire el mio de una distancia de 60 cm y dejó de prender, lo abrí y tenia voltaje en el capacitor de aluminio y no encontraba la falla! Hasta que cambie el cristal oscilador de 4000 hz o 4 mhz y regresó a funcionar perfectamente!! Saludos!!
I really missed your videos, Peter. You have a very instructive way to explain what you do. Even a dummy like me understand he he. There are two great electronic "teachers" on TH-cam, you and Mr. Carlson's lab. Have a nice weekend, 73 LB5JG Asle
I also bought the same product but for the cheaper market (Southeast Asia). With the name Habotest HT206D, through your video I feel that the product has a good price and can still measure parameters quite accurately. i compared it to a higher end meter, and from there adjusted the resistor inside it to resemble a fluke or kyoritsu.
I bought the very similar Astro AI 4000 Counts meter that is almost identical in appearance and features. I plan to use it to test motor amp draw with different sized propellers and motor battery voltage/cell counts to verify that motor and speed control max amp ratings are not being exceeded. I will also use it in home electrical, automotive and motorcycle testing, etc.
As someone else mentioned, you HAVE to test the 208D! Great box, hardcase, 3 batteries, good leads, the light stays on, and inrush current function. I think they saw your review and fixed everything- Sehre Gute!
While the color video display is flashier looking and a plus if you're inclined to always be working in the dark, the 206D is more easily visible under all conditions, particularly out in sunlight, which renders the 208D display measurements nearly invisible. However, the only real deficiency of the 208D lies in the design of the min max. It can only toggle between display of min or max, and won't show the current reading. I was surprised they did it that way, considering how well designed everything really about it was. Usual implementation of min max allows display of the ongoing readings, and additionally an average reading as well, in case you don't trust your own eyeballing the numbers. Maybe they just felt it better to simplify by having only two displays to cycle through instead of four. Niggling details might also be the battery door and screw, which could have been done with a self latching slide or clip on design, with a captive screw just as backup. As it is, the screw has to be used because the door falls off otherwise, and the screw is free to get dropped and lost if you fumble it during a battery change. The draw on the batteries is probably mostly from the display, which cannot be turned off or dimmed if using it for extended periods like a min max measurement, where it's pointless to look at the display except at the very end anyway. Current measurement mode draws slightly more current than the other modes, so don't use that mode if you're only turning it on to use the flashlight 😉 Don't know what the run time of the 208D batteries are, but I'd guess it's over 50 hours. Likely longer on the 206D, but I can't find mine to make that measurement, misplaced it somewhere. If you can save up the lunch money to spring for the far more capable 208D, you'd be much better off.
@@hwingerrr5680 if they changed the 208D display back to the old style used on the 206D and add an ongoing measurement display to the min max mode, it'd be perfect.
22:25 the low impedance voltage mode still doesn't apply much of a load in the battery though. The Low-Z mode is more to reduce the slight voltage induced in the probes from movement of the test leads, which some might find confusing. It doesn't really bother me as I can just check for zero calibration by connecting the leads together before measurements. I just got a low cost ANENG battery tester for under $3 which works well for testing, it applies an constant power 8mW load on the battery, which gives a better indication of the state of health.
You answered your own questioning of the meter when you mentioned the price. It's still a quality meter for the price for a home handyman. It actually has better functions than expensive meters, anything more than that you'd be using an oscilloscope for readings. So I am sold!
Hi, lot of thanks for this complete review! 👍Very useful for us to have a good idea about accuracy in all selections!...and I'm really surprised with the good results! I got one recently ( Habotest HT 206D on A....xpress) for ...25€ with a special price for black friday. My first use will be to test the real DC Amp/output of my different car chargers for big as small battery programms, to be sure of the values , sometimes different from the indicated value on the manuals , and compare normal charge, repair charge, trickle charge etc... Very useful for hobby work!
THAT was a reeeeally long video - but I knew that before it even started just by looking at the time index. And for those who at first blush might think it too long a video just for one multimeter, think again if you ever had any questions about how to use some of the advanced features on this multimeter or one's similar on a different model you might have. I already knew how to use a multimeter generically speaking, just for rudimentary reading voltage and amperage for non-professional and non-critical purposes, but having got this particular meter I did not understand some of the features, what they were for or how to use them. Being impressed with the efficient and logically ordered presentation of information in the first few minutes of the video I figured it would be worth it to stick with it all the way through even if 80% of it was stuff I already knew. I wasn't disappointed and there was well more than just 20% of it that was new and useful information to me - not only about the use of features specific to this meter but also about electrical theory, generally. Thank you very much to the producer of this video for the time and effort you put into it to inform and educate the masses.
Excellent review. I purchased this model, although there are newer models (but for much higher cost - thus less attractive) out there now. A very affordable clamp meter at this price. Cheers.
The 208D has upgraded features that make it worth the added cost; it's going to be negligible over the long term, and the range lock, better test leads etc make it worthwhile.
Hi Peter, a very reasonably priced meter that stood up well to the various tests. I personally don't own a clamp meter, but would certainly consider the Kaiweets if I find the need. One of my oldest meters is the Fluke 21series 2, which I must have owned for 30 some years, and it still remains in service. Thanks for the video 73's
I just received this clamp meter. For me it feels solid, rock built and look expensive. I am still testing it so far so good. The outer shell of the Kaiweets is thick so it can protect the meter in case you accidentally drop it. For me the other meter looks clean cut but does not tell that it looks expensive. It is more personal preference.
60A/600A clamp meters are common. I'd like to see a modern replacement for the old HP328A/B sensitive DC clamp meter useable from 10A down to 1 milliamp full-scale. The UT210E at 100A/20A/2A FS is the closest so far. It can resolve down to a few milliamps.
@@alandaters8547 if you can handle the larger size, it's definitely worth the modest increase in price, even if the 206D were starting at a base price of zero. 😉 If a 210D comes out, I don't know if there's that much more to add on top of the 208D to make another model, aside from fixing some of the design details.
Thanks for the Video , but UNI-T has zero function also !, I had Uni-T once same as this one 203 and it had Zero function !? they are accurate on DC current not with that huge difference ,, ..Just press REL ( delta ) to display zero. What about overload protection for this meter ? UNI-T has this on all ranges i think.
Exactly. It is quite unfortunate when somebody compares two instruments, but have no clue how to operate one of them. The UNI-T is very accurate as soon as you remove the offset by pressing REL/Delta buton. Makes me wonder if it was intentional as it is hard to believe that an experiences EE knows how the new instrumet can be zeroed, but pretends he does not know how to do it on his own instrument. Probably a bias due to some business interest.
Can you please check the accuracy of the MAX inrush current feature? Is the sampling rate fast enough to record the very short inrush LRA current of a condenser compressor for an HVAC?
@@TRXLab who certifies the inrush current measurement? Does a lab or someone define the conditions under which the measurement is made and certifies it to be accurate?
47:10 Does the min max work if you have the voltage starting at zero volts and then apply a step voltage of 10V? You may find that it won't display a max of 10V as you might have expected, because the auto range confuses it. This is where a fixed range option becomes necessary.
The 208D has the range lock feature that this 206D is missing, and overall is improved in almost all respects. The only con is daylight readability of the display, where the 206D is superior.
great video. In the US ames is a similar clamp meter sold at Harbor Freight. I bought it for the dc amp function for automotive work. Need to test my analog clamp meters with the ames in ac amps. Keep the videos coming.
part II: today the Uni-T 210E arrived. Just checking, but a few facts: -only 2.000 counts - up to 100A (2A / 20A / 100A) with Zero-function - TrueRMS - Capacity, Ohms, Frequency - „Beeper“ - DC & AC Voltage - Hold funcitionality - a very good V.F.C function - Display Backlight very compact vy 73 Jens
My Kaiweets 206D shows quickly at startup battery power on the screen. Even though I have new batteries it still shows ~25% power when I turn it on. Does your meter do the same? Thanks and great video!
kaiweets, habotest, a-bf all brand this meter im not sure if the meter is made by habotest but i think it is the HT designation suggest that, but a-bf has a different name so maybe they make it
Just bought this meter for €25 on dicount. So, I'm curious for going to put it to the test. But taking your review in consideration, it seems to bo a no brainer for this price. I'm having another multimeter of Kaiweets, the HT118A. And it's a verry decent device too. They seem to have quite decent measurement devices. But the also have a lot of rebrandings. Like Habotest.
@@c__TattinhNhi there are current probes with better accuracy down at the low end of currents if that's what you're looking to measure. These clamp meters with the range of hundreds of amps are operating in the noise region with such low currents, so lower accuracy is expected. They're never going to be absolutely accurate, even with a loose definition of absolute.
i think the acuracy between the AGILENT at 1200€ and KAIWEETS HD 206D at 47€ is no realy different and final is not real multimeter, test your Agilent and Kaiweets 118A and see difference
so the question is how can prestigious brand justify such a different of price even if their device are a bit more accurate . And that is true for many thinks in general...we are stolen every day
LOL... why not? In my younger years, I used to handle cables carrying over 1000A at 28.5VDC... multiple times a day. Every day. With my hands right on them... you could feel and watch them jump when the load was applied.
@@BKD70 was the concern the cable can jump and knock someone out hitting them on the head? Otherwise there's really more danger measuring voltage on a household outlet than using a clamp meter to measure 28V at 600A.
con un laboratorio tan equipado haces unas pruebas insufiientes ,que decepcion que no haya hecho medidas de amperaje rms ya que es una pinza amperimetrica el resto de funciones todos los multimetros lo tiene pero lo principal es su pinza trms
I'd bet an arm against your statement. It is 100% CAT III. European CE label is not a funny joke! Any product has to go for a certified type approval. If you as manufacturer would fake those labeling the European market surveillance would immediately find out and stop the product from selling. Additional to that it is a criminal act which would cost the manufacturer credibility and a lot of penalty payment.
@@TRXLab Dear Peter. I thing that this time is your trust for CE labeling a little bit overestimated. Also mobile phone chargers have this same label and you know that they are not safe. Capacitor dropping, not enough insulation between transformer vindings, etc. Same stuff as European BIO label, wich allow meny toxic substances in a grow-conservation process.
Well it is not the required and accredited procedure to be compline with the market rules it is rather more fraud and yes you are right there is fraud withe the CE label but if you require a constant market entry you simply can't risk to get blocked.
@@TRXLab You underestimate what Chinese sources will do. Kaiweets?!? Come on. If *they* get busted, the label just gets changed to some other random string. Introducing: the Ubgertts clamp meter! I'm not saying this *isn't* up to par...just that there's a good chance of it.
Good morning sir, Thank you very much for your demo work, it's really nice to share your experience (expertise more exactly). I regret not having taken seriously the learning of the English language at school, I would have understood the subject, I am ashamed. Perhaps you realized the subject in writing and I could have the French translation? If you don't mind of course. I placed an order 2 days ago directly on the manufacturer's website, I am awaiting delivery. On the other hand, I would like to be able to exchange in writing with you, I have a burning subject to submit to you, only an expert like you could allow me to understand a very surprising phenomenon that is happening to me. If you agree I will send you my email address. Thank you for your attention. Good for you, Jean Pierre
I bought this tester. FANTASTIC value. Lots of good features
I bought the same meter couple weeks ago I have been very impressed and very pleased with it so far for the price👍🏼

A 208D may be slightly better than the 206D but you cannot compare them because the 208D is more than double the price of a 206D.

Looked up a Benning DMM, the 26 position rotary dial design is the most I've ever seen. That's like a stick shift car in a sea of automatics 🙃
i think the acuracy between the AGILENT at 1200€ and KAIWEETS HD 206D at 47€ is no realy different and final is not real multimeter, test your Agilent and Kaiweets 118A and see difference
Will the Kaiweets display single digit mA?
No. 10 miliamps is the lowest.
Very nice review.
Danke für das interessante Video Peter! Nur, von Amazon halte ich mich fern, auch wenn sie die Dinger gratis verteilen würden.
Danke für deine Rückmeldung! Das Gerät gibt es auch aus anderen Quellen aber wenn ich fragen darf was ist mit Amazon?
@@TRXLab Ist einfach nicht mein Fall das Unternehmen.
Nem um comentário no meu belo, rico e lindo Português, obrigado.
Kaiweets HT206D and Habotest HT206D are the same.
Might be different warranties

No way I am listening to a person after stroke for an hour.
so the question is how can prestigious brand justify such a different of price even if their device are a bit more accurate . And that is true for many thinks in general...we are stolen every day
wow that is a very complex issue which can't be answered with only a few sentences...
Can believe it goes up to 600A.... wouldn’t put it anywhere near something that pulls that many Amps.
Why not what do you think could happen?
LOL... why not? In my younger years, I used to handle cables carrying over 1000A at 28.5VDC... multiple times a day. Every day. With my hands right on them... you could feel and watch them jump when the load was applied.
@@BKD70 was the concern the cable can jump and knock someone out hitting them on the head?
Otherwise there's really more danger measuring voltage on a household outlet than using a clamp meter to measure 28V at 600A.
nice!
con un laboratorio tan equipado haces unas pruebas insufiientes ,que decepcion que no haya hecho medidas de amperaje rms ya que es una pinza amperimetrica el resto de funciones todos los multimetros lo tiene pero lo principal es su pinza trms
This cideo could have been shortened by 65% with some simple script editing!
Go for it buddy... why don't you show us how it's done???
I liked it how it was done.

This is for sure NOT a Cat III meter.....I 'd bet an arm for that...
I'd bet an arm against your statement. It is 100% CAT III. European CE label is not a funny joke! Any product has to go for a certified type approval. If you as manufacturer would fake those labeling the European market surveillance would immediately find out and stop the product from selling. Additional to that it is a criminal act which would cost the manufacturer credibility and a lot of penalty payment.
@@TRXLab Dear Peter. I thing that this time is your trust for CE labeling a little bit overestimated. Also mobile phone chargers have this same label and you know that they are not safe. Capacitor dropping, not enough insulation between transformer vindings, etc. Same stuff as European BIO label, wich allow meny toxic substances in a grow-conservation process.
Well it is not the required and accredited procedure to be compline with the market rules it is rather more fraud and yes you are right there is fraud withe the CE label but if you require a constant market entry you simply can't risk to get blocked.
@@TRXLab You underestimate what Chinese sources will do. Kaiweets?!? Come on. If *they* get busted, the label just gets changed to some other random string. Introducing: the Ubgertts clamp meter! I'm not saying this *isn't* up to par...just that there's a good chance of it.
You are much too agitated.

Good morning sir,
Thank you very much for your demo work, it's really nice to share your experience (expertise more exactly).
I regret not having taken seriously the learning of the English language at school, I would have understood the subject, I am ashamed.
Perhaps you realized the subject in writing and I could have the French translation?
If you don't mind of course.
I placed an order 2 days ago directly on the manufacturer's website, I am awaiting delivery.
On the other hand, I would like to be able to exchange in writing with you, I have a burning subject to submit to you, only an expert like you could allow me to understand a very surprising phenomenon that is happening to me.
If you agree I will send you my email address.
Thank you for your attention.
Good for you,
Jean Pierre
