WOW!! @17:34 mark I almost jumped out my chair, I was wearing headphones and what a shocker! I actually own this multimeter, based on a friend's recommendation. I am hoping that it is still safe to use for the small things I do around the home, such as checking household batteries and checking things on vehicle such as battery, wiring, spark plugs/wires, fuses and fuel injectors! I am truly a novice when it comes to electrical/electronic problems, and your video shook my brain with all of the technical terms and jargon. I appreciate you sharing your wealth of knowledge in this field!
+kev bra I can't really comment on the safety side of things. The part of the video you pointed to is my attempt to simulate a transient (or a spike) on the AC line. If you are interested, there is a spreadsheet attached to the first post that shows all of the test results so far. www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/hear-kitty-kitty-kitty-nope-not-that-kind-of-cat/
+Marcel Hanenbergh No one was expecting it to live this long!! I would be interested in knowing who made the meter and if the very low current and high resistance measurements for the continuity test are normal. I suspect that the meter may have had problem and this has to do with why the diode check did not work.
@@joesmith-je3tq the back says to remove leads from the circuit, is that really necessary to replace the battery? what happens if i don't remove the leads?

Jeez that poor little meter gave its all-!-above and beyond for something so minimally rated, it deserves a place of honor somewhere-lol
I was given one of these. Thanks for all this testing.
+haiaokuwa No problem. Hope you found it helpful.
Survived longer than I expected.

how do you test house hold battries with this
A diode tester that can't measure a silicon diode?! Do Greenlee enginers even try to use the tool before putting their name on it?
lifetime warranty
Yep, but advice, I know how to use it, how do I recharge it when it is dead? Answer this. A Greenlee DM-110
You don't recharge it. You buy a new 9V battery and install it. Check the manual.

@@RIP123 The manual assumes your clueless and does not want the liability of you doing something stupid is all.
