    @6:27 I know I'm about a year & so late on this, but I just wanted to point out that the gator clips that come with it are VERY snug & TIGHT when fitting them on the leads (the proper way). If you look inside the shielding, there's a tiny hole for the leads to be inserted creating a rather tight & solid connection. In the video you literally just plopped the rubber over the lead without showing the inside of the shielding to further solidify this "problem" you claimed of.
    Literally I looked at the clips provided, saw the opening was _obviously_ larger than the lead itself so *instinctively* my brain said:
    - _"look inside, im sure there must be an attachment of some sort for you to _*_properly_*_ combine these two together."_
    & so here we are. Other than that,....VERY GREAT REVIEW! LOVE HOW YOU *TESTED EACH FUNCTION OF THE UNIT. I just bought this yesterday, & it came without a manual so I found you instead....and downloaded a pdf file manual also.
    Thanks for the upload! 🙂👍🏾

I think I need to buy one of those clamp meters also. There's so many on Amazon I don't know which one is the least expensive reliable one. There's literally hundreds on Amazon! 🤣

    Cheers for the review man! Just checked and it's not available in the UK yet, but that price would put it against the UT136B+ or the far more capable Aneng M11

    • @KeepOnTesting
      @KeepOnTesting  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree, the price should be reduced by 10$ to make it more competitive and they really need to up the Capacitance range while they're at it.

  • @ericchang7706
    @ericchang7706 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So accurate and quick in continuity mode! I would've recommended it as a good "my first dmm" but the low diode output voltage is inexcusable with 4.5V of AAA (yuck) batteries. Fix that plus use AAs and a threaded metal insert and it would be better value than a $10 harbor freight dmm.

  • @yambo59
    @yambo59 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Not quite as good as other Astro AI offerings regarding cap range and low continuity volume but still has the same accuracy associated with other Astro offerings. I have the WH5000A and their DT132A and both are very accurate, and it should be noted this meter is priced lower than the ones mentioned.

    I like it's precise results in ma range. In my experience with my 2 DMMs(richmeters 113d and Powerfix PDM 250 A1) they lose precision over 50 ma, so some times I'm forced to switch to A range and I'm in search for a good and accurate meter in ma range. What i noticed is that in ma range both multimeters have different input resistance(impedance?) and also in A range is almost zero ohm! I guess this has to do with zero burden voltage(a new term for me and I'm still trying to understand with my mediocre english what it does) something which I found out in some reviews(maybe I'm wrong and I have mixed it with something else).

      NCV simply detects live voltage that might be hidden or cabled.
