I’ve used this meter every day for the last 5-7 years as a low voltage tech. The battery terminals suck, the leads were swapped to probemasters in the first 3 months, I epoxied the tilt stand in as I use it with the magnetic holder, but for $70 you can’t beat it.
Wow, so much more impressed than I expected to be - input protection not only has the mov's and ptc's it even has the high current resistors I expect to see when comparing to fluke. Im not a huge fan of the chunky display but not a problem really just a design choice. I would like to have seen a bar graph but its not a deal breaker when you consider the build quality otherwise, its looking like it belongs in its target price range with the rugged build, input protection and high accuracy. Color me impressed, lesser Kleins in the past have been hit or miss but I clearly havent looked at one in a awhile, this is a very strong effort from Klein and ill take a working temp range over the usual useless NCV most have.
Makes two of us! The MM600 is undoubtedly one of the best multimeters I've come across in a long time! I'm still flustered by the lame battery cavity approach but otherwise it's a home run! What a great dmm ! 💫💫💫💫
Amazing resistance and voltage test results, but then this is not a cheapo unit, as its internal construction also shows. Hopefully similar performance csn be had with the true rms model.
Word is UEI is Owned by Klein and makes these. In 1973 I bought my first UEI M75. (I couldn't afford a Simpson or a Triplett). The UEI meters were rugged and affordable. I still have 2 M110's and they work fine. They took a beating in my tool case with me on every service call.
Wow..I didn't know UEI was the oem for Klein. Very interesting. I'll try to dig a little deeper. I do love those UEI multimeters ..outstanding build quality and super reliable.
Good DMM, good review. But the Battery connection is not bad at all. You have to remove the batteries before you take it apart- that's good pratice for all kind of electrical devices. This is better than your suggested solution (further sources of error due to two additional unnecessary contacts, battery compartment / PCB).
Thx kindly 👍 btw..if you leave the 2xAAA inserted and put the case back on the contacts can dislodge the batteries and create a toasty scenario as happened to me. They were smoking hot and definitely a hazard. Best case is a proper contact mechanism that shields the batteries leaving no gaps and no margin for error. This dmm was so well designed I can't believe they couldn't develop a more elegant solution besides two crude cutouts for contact.
@@KeepOnTesting Yes, I think there are better solutions for this, but it's not the worst one. It's a nice DMM with very good protection and good build quality. Good value for bucks.
DM chipset usually from dreamtech, looks similar to very common dreamtech DTM0660. I believe most newer klein tools dmms nowadays are made by Finest, a korean brand company which no longer selling multimeter under their name. Nice input protection, looks like it probably can get through some of joe smith's transient tests. No shielding though.
The KLEIN TOOLS MM600 IC isn't the DTM0660 variant which you're referring too..that's another great IC( from Dreamtech) although the spelling is similar.😉 Agreed, this is really top notch design and workmanship...Korean origins would explain that great design.
Also check out the CL390 clamp meter. It is basically the same as the 700, TRMS etc. Plus functions most Clamps do not have. Hall effect for DC as well as AC Amps to 400. Only about $100. At Home Depot.
I'm very tempted to buy this one. Very tempted! I have too many meters already but it ticks so many boxes. 78$ Aud on Amazon that's like 57$ Usd. So good. So cheap. Must resist. Too late. Oh well. At least I'm not addicted to drugs.
@@KeepOnTesting This turned into a rather ridiculous purchase but not a bad one. I ordered the meter mid October and 1 month later it hadn't arrived. I claimed a full refund which amazon issued. Then the meter arrived a week later after that. So I got this awesome little multimeter for free.
@@danishdart Well...that's an early Xmas present 🎁...glad it arrived ! It's a solid performer and great test instrument. Definitely one of the better multimeters I've seen in awhile! Let us know how you like it!
Maybe closer to 5 stars for an OK price with great input protection. Since fuses are accessible, I wouldn't complain.. there's no reason to 'disassemble' 😊 (Ms. Stephanie and robot No.5 would like that..). Too bad there's no RMS good to at least 5khz, since that would make it good for industrial VFD measurements. So close, yet so far...

Just a note that the Top 10 in your description no longer matches the Top 10 on your website. Both Richmeters models appear to be removed, but this was inevitable as other models make the list ;). Though the leads are rather cheap, I really like my RM113D for less than $15 as it's relatively compact. The only things I miss are a manual ranging option and the usual lack of a sustained backlight. Any meter with a 15-second backlight has to hang precariously from any Top 10 list ;).

Wow..those additional features would really make this hard to beat ! I was shocked when I saw all that robust input protection hiding underneath...good God! 👍
Darren, I know slightly different price points, but would you pick the Klein mm600 over the Kaiweets HT118a? For all around house and auto use… Thanks!
Yes, absolutely as long as the price isn't a concern. They are 2 of the best multimeters on the market today..one is in the CHEAP-O REALM ( HT118A) the other isn't. Both excel at being multimeters with great feature and build quality. The KLEIN MM600 also goes further with incredibly good input protection and added robustness. 👍
Not bad, Klein MM600 pretty much hits all of the points that makes it a rugged meter to carry in your tool kit. Accuracy seems to be alright for a meter that is not true rms. Protection seems to be good but what is with the battery cut out area? Give a monkey a pair of tin snips and let him have a go at it? I am always impressed at how much better the continuity test works with the probe master leads. If the folks who make these meters would take a hard look at how to manufacture a really good set of test leads at a reasonable price and then include them with the cheap-o meters it just might move their ratings up a bit. I like this meter a bit lower price would be nice but hey, I guess these days even Chinese made products are getting pretty pricey.
It's a pretty sweetly built multimeter...agree those cutouts are just 'wrong". Don't get me started on those ProbeMasters..incredibly good test leads! 👍
I'll be putting a downloadable spreadsheet on the website, hopefully next month. It will include all the necessary criteria of every multimeter I've reviewed thus far..👍
Looks like they forgot to consider assembly when designing the spring terminals in the battery compartment ;). Cringe-worthy when considering the excellent layout and construction of everything else. The MOVs, PTCs, and clamp diodes are even nice and beefy compared with many meters, if they have these at all. Lack of NCV feature makes it even more frustrating that they included no shielding, though.
This isn't your fault as sellers often change or end their items frequently, but the HT108L, HT112B, and OW18E eBay links appear to be broken. The UT89XD, test lead, voltage reference, and screwdriver links continue to work, however. Would be nice to have had a link to this Klein Tools meter somewhere, though.
Some really funky chunky fonts! 😃 Shame about the shielding and low capacitance readings. The PTC's and MOV's were a pleasant surprise tho... Excellent review as usual 👍🏿
So I’m reading through all the comments and I’m wondering if I’m missing out on anything between this MM600 vs MM400? I’m just looking for a solid meter for around the house use and car use on occasion. Testing 230v tools in my shop, that sort of thing. I just had to order a new meter and I have the MM400 coming, but should I upgrade to this MM600? Is it a big step up in features? Thx
Stick with the MM400. There's no reason to swap. This is a solid multimeter with a ton of functionality and a price that can't be bea! Save for the slightly smaller display you won't gain much by getting the MM600. In fact it's smaller footprint makes it alot more portable too. 👍
Just found your channel looking for a review on this meter,great review btw. Question I have that I didn't see is does this meter show +/- voltage? Thanks
@@KeepOnTesting thank you for the quick reply. Bought this tester tonight and definitely a step above my HF meter,they have their place and not bad for price(free). Never used an auto ranging meter but seem very useful for automotive and electronics along with the temp function coming in handy..thanks again 👍

Would you happen to know where I can find that part as well. Again thank you so so much for your help and time.
@@Alchemic11 Those are PTC's ..PTC stands for Positive Temperature Coefficient. The PTC thermistor also provides variable resistance based on temperature. Easily found on Ebay or Amaxon as well.. 👍
It's a tough call Derek...personally I wouldn't pay another 80$ for that feature..unless TRMS is absolutely crucial for you. As it stands the MM600 is definitely one of the best multimeters on the market and worth the money. Take note, I'll be reviewing the MM700 hopefully before XMAS..👍
Hey Darren, Hope all is well. Back in June of 2021 I purchased BTmeter brand model# BT-770N from Amazon. It has been 7 months till i first time used it yesterday and straight out of box it's DEAD. It wont register ohms, volts or continuity checks. LCd lights up , dial is working just wont read anything or detect. So I just purchased Klein Tools MM700 meter yesterday at Home Depot and wanted to ask you Any difference between 600 and 700 model? or will you do a review on the 700 model? Thks
I do intend on reviewing the MM700 later this year. Btw, It also supports TrueRMS and LoZ (low impedence) which the MM600 doesn't.. initial impressions look very good 👍
If you want you can ship me your dead BT770N , in turn I'll send you a new replacement multimeter. I might use it for a multimeter repair segment. If interested email me, netplicity1@gmail.com
Daren, please could you tell me which multimeter you would buy today between ut191T and klein mm600 (or even mm700) if they were at the same price ? Or is there another one you would prefer instead ? Cause for the moment, I just want to order one of them. Thanks from France for all your great reviews !!
Bonjour mon ami ! UNI-T UT191T without hesitation! Incredible value for such a well made and powerful multimeter! LowZ, LPF, IP65 Weatherproof, Auto backlight plus great build quality. Great display too 👍 KLEIN MM600/700 just can't compete.
@@KeepOnTesting Merci beaucoup Daren, you're the best, you answer to everyone, UNI-T UT191T ordered at 96 euros here from France. That's good because my heart also preferred this one. Thank you a lot.
@@KeepOnTesting I got it and it's really wonderfull : accurate, fast, ergonomic, seems tough, well made and reliable. I did not expect that for the price. Anyone can only love it, I recommand it to 100%. Thank you Daren.
Wow! what an impressive meter for that price. The accuracy is awesome. You're right Darren, this one is a Fluke-quality meter with a sane price tag. Really hard to beat in sub-$100 US price range in my opinion.
@@KeepOnTesting 😂 i was shock when it is keeping up tightly with Sanwa at DC voltage test and leave Habotest behind. if only Klein Tools put a diode beep in it.. i'm not a fan of those thick digits also, it makes harder to read.
I must admit, I wasn't sold on Klein after seeing your review on MM300. It was so basic that there wasn't much sense to pay extra for better build quality and input protection. MM400 was a step up, but still had that tiny 15mm display. On one hand, I'm slightly disappointed that you have to pay $30 more if you want a bigger display. On the other hand, seeing how well MM600 performed, it's not that unreasonably priced. Very solid meter through and through. 👍 Are you planning to review MM700 sometime in the future, Mr. Walker?
I couldn't agree more! I was quite surprised by the performance and quality of this dmm. Seems too good to be true 👍I will definitely be reviewing the MM700 after such a great showing.. so stay Tubed for that !
@@KeepOnTesting I sure will! It's weird though that even on their own website Klein is using that misleading image of MM700 with a Bluetooth icon on the display, while the meter itself has no such functionality. 🤔
I have had this meter for about 6 months. I am surprised the poor viewing angle was not discussed. It is atrocious when on the kickstand. Everything else is spot on. But viewing angle is terrible. Surprised because I have way cheaper DMM’s that do not have this problem. IMHO
You are so wrong. Teardowns are an intrinsic part of any good multimeter review. They show how serious (or not) the manufacturers are about safety, build quality, design and manufacturing prowess. Would you buy a car without checking what's under the hood? I sure hope not. As per views, this is an extremely popular review on my channel with excellent view time. 👍
I’ve used this meter every day for the last 5-7 years as a low voltage tech. The battery terminals suck, the leads were swapped to probemasters in the first 3 months, I epoxied the tilt stand in as I use it with the magnetic holder, but for $70 you can’t beat it.

Daren, please could you tell me which multimeter you would buy today between ut191T and klein mm600 (or even mm700) if they were at the same price ?
Or is there another one you would prefer instead ?
Cause for the moment, I just want to order one of them. Thanks from France for all your great reviews !!
Bonjour mon ami ! UNI-T UT191T without hesitation! Incredible value for such a well made and powerful multimeter! LowZ, LPF, IP65 Weatherproof, Auto backlight plus great build quality. Great display too 👍 KLEIN MM600/700 just can't compete.
@@KeepOnTesting Merci beaucoup Daren, you're the best, you answer to everyone, UNI-T UT191T ordered at 96 euros here from France. That's good because my heart also preferred this one.
Thank you a lot.
@@smoothlie865 That's awesome! You made a great choice 👏 Let us know how you like the UT191T!
@@KeepOnTesting I got it and it's really wonderfull : accurate, fast, ergonomic, seems tough, well made and reliable. I did not expect that for the price. Anyone can only love it, I recommand it to 100%.
Thank you Daren.
@@smoothlie865 Awesome sauce my friend! It's a great multimeter, professional grade too! I use it often. Congrats ! 😃
Wow! what an impressive meter for that price. The accuracy is awesome. You're right Darren, this one is a Fluke-quality meter with a sane price tag. Really hard to beat in sub-$100 US price range in my opinion.
You got that right..Even my UT191T ..a long time favorite of mine is shaking in its boots! 🥴👍
@@KeepOnTesting 😂
i was shock when it is keeping up tightly with Sanwa at DC voltage test and leave Habotest behind.
if only Klein Tools put a diode beep in it..
i'm not a fan of those thick digits also, it makes harder to read.
@@radius.indrawan Audible beep in DIODE would've been insane! 🥴👍
@@KeepOnTesting true. hope Klein Tools people read this and decide to make it happens, just like Uni-T did. 😍
@@radius.indrawan fingers crossed 🤞
Could you review MM700 as well?
Yes indeed..working on it and more Klein meters as well.
@@KeepOnTesting Could you also review the Fluke 15B ? It is around $100 only
@@mytube2013 Yes I will review the 15B 👍
Dos the back light stay on?
As I mentioned in the review it turns off after 45 seconds. 👍
What is shielding?

I must admit, I wasn't sold on Klein after seeing your review on MM300. It was so basic that there wasn't much sense to pay extra for better build quality and input protection. MM400 was a step up, but still had that tiny 15mm display. On one hand, I'm slightly disappointed that you have to pay $30 more if you want a bigger display. On the other hand, seeing how well MM600 performed, it's not that unreasonably priced. Very solid meter through and through. 👍
Are you planning to review MM700 sometime in the future, Mr. Walker?
I couldn't agree more! I was quite surprised by the performance and quality of this dmm. Seems too good to be true 👍I will definitely be reviewing the MM700 after such a great showing.. so stay Tubed for that !
@@KeepOnTesting I sure will! It's weird though that even on their own website Klein is using that misleading image of MM700 with a Bluetooth icon on the display, while the meter itself has no such functionality. 🤔
@@numerical_error Not sure why they'd do that..definitely gives the wrong impression.
I have had this meter for about 6 months. I am surprised the poor viewing angle was not discussed. It is atrocious when on the kickstand. Everything else is spot on. But viewing angle is terrible. Surprised because I have way cheaper DMM’s that do not have this problem. IMHO
True enough..definitely not the best display with the awkward angle! 😬 Thx for pointing it out !
Agreed. Extremely disappointing that viewing angle so bad.
Not good enough for 70 bucks endless you count the really accurate tuning.
I think it's well worth the money. Exceptional built and a highly robust multimeter.
Thoose nuts tent to loosen and u lose contunuity feature
No, they´re locking nuts.
SANWA for me please 😁
Fear not Manuel...SANWA coming soon.👍
reminder: SANWA's internal structure is BRYMEN.
Layout not good. Best to have two offs at limits of dial
why tear it down? you would have received more views showing features in real world use
You are so wrong. Teardowns are an intrinsic part of any good multimeter review. They show how serious (or not) the manufacturers are about safety, build quality, design and manufacturing prowess. Would you buy a car without checking what's under the hood? I sure hope not. As per views, this is an extremely popular review on my channel with excellent view time. 👍
Not enough counts, need 10k or more.
10k would've been sweet !
what is up
😊
Not true RMS
Don't like that font!🤨
Yes it's a little unusual 👍
Worst tool I have ever used
