I REALLY like it! The soft housing will protect it from drops. I dropped my last meter on tile and it garbled the led display. This outer cover also lets you wrap the probe wires around while it holds the coiled wires snuggly.
Thanks for sharing! Definitely a capable multimeter at a great price 👌
That looks exactly like the Uni-T UT133b rebranded as Cent-Tech. Looks the same on the outside and the inside and the board actually says 133B towards the middle. The UniT runs about $25US and this as Darren said was $19.99 US in the store. Not bad!
Yes indeed Mike..UNI-T is the OEM here..not a bad price as you said! 👍
Darren didn’t get the 30% off coupon that was available at the time. Usually the is meter can be had for $14😊
Harbor Freight has picked up the quality standards for sure. I was surprised by the content at this price. ❤
Some seriously decent input protection here for the price. 😊
I am impressed with the amount of input protection that meter has. I've never seen that in a low end meter before. You usually have to pay a lot more for that kind of thing.
True enough, Fred.. I too was expecting minimal input protection aa well.. this CHEAP-O surprised in a good way 👍
@@KeepOnTesting it looks pretty legit. Now I want to see Joe Smith blow it up.
Just purchased one, your video helped as there are many measurement settings available, appreciate the explanation. Worthwhile meter as was your help, thanks.
Cheers my friend 👍
Harbor Freight has certainly upped the game by adding those PTCs and MOVs. The Uni-T version of the meter simply can’t compare in that regard.
Spot on! HF did a great job improving this dmm!
You loose a cat, meow, stop it!😊Hasegawa, are you a modeler Darren? congratulations to the winner.
I tried but never enough time Shaun...
I do print 3D though.. like the Easter egg in the intro 😮 👍
Not a pad little meter for the price, looked like there were isolation slots around the fuses and PTCs as well. Probably okay for home use.
Teardown was a surprise for me to say the least.. 😊
I knew it looked somehow familiar, until you opened it. And there you have it - 133B V7. For your basic home repairs, it'll do just fine. If you can get over the 15 sec backlight, that is. 👍
Yes indeed! UNI-T strikes again 😅👍
You can record anywhere you want. People are brain dead, everyone has a phone with a camera on them. It's not like you're recording a special fusion accelerator. LOL
Agreed..I know it's tricky sometimes but it was a long wait to film the multimeter shelf! 😮 👍
I don't have a phone with a camera. I'm allergic to cell phones. They give me the hives.
I had the same issue with my ex father in law..😅 👍
They spent their budget on input protection and got nothing left for REL on resistance, proper backlight (can't think how a timed backlight could be cheaper than not) and the capacitance range. Quite the quality otherwise, their cordless power tools are even competing with the name brands! If they can offer an autoranging meter it would be even better. The winner will enjoy that OWON!
Oh so true 👍 lots of multimeter and functionality here..I haven't tried their cordless power tools yet but it sounds like I should!
@@KeepOnTestingYou bet. There are reviews on YT too, a particular Torque Test Channel to say. I wish we have Harbor Freight here!
Not bad at all. I might pick it up since it is inexpensive.
Honestly I was ready to review some dodgy dmm but was happily surprised 😮
This is a Uni-T 133B under a different brand.
Yessir..Although with much better input protection 👌
@@KeepOnTesting Looks identical to a 133B teardown on eevblog, even has 133B silk screened on the PCB at 11:45 👍
Great review and a great well priced multimeter from a physical store, nice!👌
Wow. Did _not_ expect these internals for a meter like this!
Kinda shocking eh 😅
We have a Harbor Freight in town. It's nice. I think I checked out the meters. It was underwhelming.
Sounds like it's a hit n miss experience for many.. I think when you hit though, it's like finding gold ✨️
@@KeepOnTesting I'll go back. Harbour Freight has quite a bit. It's a new store at Pony Village. We actually still have a mall on life support . Farr's True Value has a big selection of Gardener Bender multimeters and some nice analog. That's where you go around here.
Isn't this a UNI-T? The mode switch is too familiar.
Yep..UNI-T is the oem, hence the UNI-T next to it in the closing shot..
Nice inside. I think that R shunt can take 20 amp current.
I think you're right! 😊 👍
The test leads are also very capable, I measure 21 milliohms each. They are very pliable and yet sturdy.
@pault6533 Thx for the update Paul. Definitely a rarity..cheap but capable dmm and cheap but capable test leads.. 😊 👍
Where would I be able to get replacement fuses for this multimeter and what type of fuses are they, I'm new to all this stuff
Give me an hour..and I'll have all the info!
@@KeepOnTestingNo rush or anything It's not a super pressing issue.
@kingcruseder4737 no worries, On my way back from the office..hang tight 😊

😊 ..'cheapo' meters back again . 👍
Oh yeaaaa 👍
Is this for only regular batteries? Not car battery?
Battery check only works for AA/9V . You can still check your standard 12V car battery using the DC VOLTS set to 60.
@@KeepOnTestingThe 60DC Volts is exactly how I tested mine before leaving from H.F. ,I tested with my car battery 😊
Am I seeing the internals of a cheap-o? Unbelievable!
Crazy good eh! 👍
Let's Make Canada Great Again - time to put Harbor Freight's in CANADA!!!
Yes yes yes !! 😊
