    I like my meters from Astro. I have a DM6000AR MM and a CM4KOR dc amp clamp/MM. The test leads are junk but I made my own using silicone wire and stackable banana jack ends. I bought cases for both and assemble kits with needle probes, back probes, piercing probes, and aligator clips. All in I have less than $100 usd in them and they work perfect for automotive diags. Must have tools. Cheers👍

    Excellent training video and well presented. If one knows and understands electrical and electronic fundamentals then a multimeter can be used to great effect before having to call on the Pico for more in depth troubleshooting.
    Most electricians have at least more than one multimeter of a different brand, this is because if one gets a reading that is unexpected then the other multimeter can be used to confirm the reading. I use Fluke and Brymen meters.

    I am facing a problem that I can't solve and many garages refuse to do,reason:my car is 23 years old.After a few problems to start I managed it to start, but then in June it was all doing crank no start and blinking the immobilizer symbol. I own a Suzuki Baleno 1.8. the faultcodes the scanner spat out: P1621 and P1623. Tried to have the immobilizer written out of my ecu,not working and an emulator bypass also failed. Strange thing is my fuel pump is not humming. I tried to transfer the Ic's of my old immobilizer to a 2nd hand and nothing happens, car cranks no start. People around me tell me to get rid of the car, money is an issue but the car has an emotional value to me.I used a multimeter to check the wire from the immobilizer connector to the ecu and all wires are fine.Any direction to solve this problem? The car failed MOT( live in the Netherlands) .Is it possible because the fuel pump is not working to trigger the immobilizer codes like: The transponder not registered and communication line error? I am at lost here and I have nobody capable to solve the problem unless I pay them thousands of euro's...
