Thanx for checking the viewing angle on the 601S. I had an earlier version & it was a deal breaker for me. I now have the HT118A which has a very readable display. 👍
Even when the display darkens at an angle, the display is still more readable than several meters I have. I'm impressed with the look of the user interface too. When they produce the KM601s with an AMOLED display I think they will attract many customers.
I was a bit disappointed because I thought the smaller meter has a touch screen. But that's not the case. OLED would be nice but I have never seen an OLED segments display.
I've got two of those little Aneng meters, an AN8008, and the AN8009 reads/translates K-type temperature probes. Plenty proper for the girls i go out with. ;)
@@PlaywithJunk well, without going into much detail; i'm certainly not "playing with junk". Might be hilarious to ask 'em if i could try-out my K-type probes.🙃 (oof, i hope that's not too harsh, but then there are plenty of harsh things pointed at people like me, so i guess it equilibrates)
A multimeter should be simple and reliable . A long battery life and easy to understand, you dont want to be messing with settings when fault finding. I like the Aneng AN8009. I can't see the battery lasting long with that bright display.
LOL, it says "don't measure voltage" - about (edit) 15+ years ago, i tried to measure the amps of my wall socket …of course, i'm NOT measuring the voltage, what a silly warning *BIG SPARK* …oh, that's why! 😅 I've been there, done that - i really wanted to find out how many amps are in that wall outlet. All i've got was a tripped breaker, and a slightly melted probe tip. 🤣 …i've never got an actual amps reading on the display, though. …perhaps, i should repeat the experiment, for science. 🙃 …maybe THIS time?
That's exactly the reason why they write that on the display. You CAN'T measure voltage in the amps setting. You should probably measure the amps with a shunt resistor and an oscilloscope. So you may have the chance to see the peak before the fuse blows. Or you kill your scope... or yourself because the live wire connects to scope housing. (Better don't do that.)
I don't see a problem with the built in battery. In fact, I wish my Fluke meter was rechargeable. Normally the battery dies just on a saturday evening when you have none at home... And if that battery is good for half a year then I can't complain at all. But I don't know yet...
Non Contact Voltage can be measured with the red lead as well, you just need to select NCV function and then press the Sel (Select) button

Are you meeting so hot girls that you need a thermometer ? ;-)

I have one. Used it for years. Its ok. Basic, it's no Fluke. Its affordable.
Quick question, when your meter is on auto does the relay switch on and off the needle points on the ohm and continuity tests?
"Its not bad" nice to see tech getting playing with junks highest seal of approval 😊

The charging port with barrel connector is a deal breaker
Better than micro USB tho
At least they include the charger cable. It would be difficult to find the correct plug because it is extra long.
nope, I want a selector dial. some nice features though.
Gell, wer misst, misst Mist!
I hope you got some money for that and not just the "free" multimeters.
No it's only the multimeters... but that's still more than I get from TH-cam ;-)
Built in rechargable battery, noooooo. Nice for the kiddies, not for any sort of professional use.

No SIM? Junk! :D
