    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 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👍
