LOL... the Victor works well: the case opens just fine if you are a bit more patient and coordinated - you must push down gently on the top so you release the pressure of that tiny tab on the inside - and it is designed to only be closed when switched off 🤷🏻!!! In the end ... any of these work just fine as simple pocket multimeters - just depends on personal preference. Note: I own a Zotek VC921 (original maker - Aneng has it as the AN8203), an Aneng AN101, a Sanwa PM3 and a Hioki 3244-60 !!! Good video
Wrong. I have two of these as well as the Triplett version of the Victor. It replaces the second 'off' with an Amp range, 400mA. The Triplett also has an arrangement, so the wrist strap can make a tilt stand from the front cover. The slot in the case is a FEATURE as is the flipper for the probes. It prevents fools from stabbing their fingers or running down the batteries. The case itself extremely durable and protective, and designed to not open by itself. The only thing I prefer in the Aneng is the removable probes, which are terrible.
Victor also has a 3-3/4 digit display, measures AC in true-RMS, provides enough voltage for LED/SiC diode check, and it could measure capacitance down to 1 pF resolution (Unit-T can't do that due to its auto-range being stopped from going down by its very high terminal stray capacitance).

Great video! Would you mind sharing the part numbers for ic's you used in your voltage, current, and resistance testing setup? I'm interested in making one of my own, thank you
@@thehighprotondiet3127 Looks like a promising channel but it seems to have disappeared for 3 years ? I am also keen on the Voltage, Current and Ohms multiple ICs setup.
You really like playing up that case issue, don't you? You could always drill out a larger hole to turn the dial when it's closed. The meter itself was pretty solid.
Your ‘Review’ ..COMPLETELY MISSED, ..ANY, ..description/explanation of the USE, of the 4 ‘presumably, Calibration’ Trimpots, visible on the top end, of the UNI-T’s PCB..!! 🙄 Review judgement..? …FAIL…!! 🙄🙄
A good review, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the video. What made you decide on these 3 particular pocket multimeters for your showdown?
They're the three I own. :-)
Makes sense :)
Very useful video for pocket size multimeter thankyou

@@MST339 I am comparing the Victor to the Triplett, not the Aneng, which comes in third.

The AN101 now comes with NCV, capacitance, and frequency measurements. Currently I can buy four AN101's for the price of one UT120C.
Thanks for sharing 😀👍 interesting stuff

Good idea! I could make a little video.

Just hit the screen comparison, and when you said it's really obvious, I totally thought you were looking at the precision. 3 vs 4 digits.

My main multi is an aneng and they are incredibly acurate and cheap ill probably get a an101 for the car
The VC921 looks like a Radioshack meter I had about 25 years ago.
everyone in china has this plastic mold :D

ANENG good
Yes, I bought two more ANENG meters recently and I'm very happy with both of them. I might do a video.
Never attempt to measure frequensy of mains with Victor 921. It simply not designed for this. Other tban that it is very accurate in most cases.
that is a really cute cat

My VC921 opens much more easily. Try to use sandpaper on this plastic cover holder
My Gawd! What a nervous hands!!! Makes people dizzy.

Drink more coffee and flip this stuff around faster.
Like watching a nervous hamster build a nest.
Wisper like narration in most part of the video is inaudible and quite frustrating.
