Southwire 16030A Autoselecting CAT IV Multimeter

Small, wish they were slightly smaller.WaterproofDustproofExtremely simple and foolproofVolt testerOnly three modes, volts is auto and loads when turned on automatically plus KOhms and OhmsI am an industrial technician and use these frequently, have used these for years.Cheap sturdy simple easyFlashlight isn't great but is still often usefulWould buy again, over and over and over though I've never had to replace my first one yet.There's a ton of things you can do with meters this can't do but the only thing I need to use them for ever is having an amp clamp which I can just use a 6 dollar piece of trash for that's buried in the back of my toolbox and once in a blue moon read capacitance on something which for me isn't really a necessity very often

Its a great meter - zero set up or calibration required - works right out of the box.The auto-sensing function and peak hold is great.

I bought this because it was easy to use. Other multimeters have many more features that would be needed by an electrician, not a novice like me.

I bought one of these DMMs a couple years back to take with me to auto wrecking yards and I loved the simplicity and ruggedness that I bought a second to keep with my household electrical tool bag.I really like the live AC detector feature, has saved me more than once.Just keep in mind this is a simple, auto-ranging Volts (DC and AC) and resistance measuring DMM, this WILL NOT measure current!

Met expectations

Quite to easy to use - slightly bulky, but seems made to last. Purchased specifically for the audible continuity test and used on automotive harnesses. With 4 ft extension leads, probing the wires and listening for the signal - Np!

Cables slip out of multi-meter, resulting in misreading or zero reading. A safety risk if your testing for safe conditions and now use a unit with cable ports facing up.Here is photo of it wet, I didn't like that the AUTO ranging would cycle out of audible continuity mode if there's any voltage to sense, silently and subtly it switch to a voltage reading.

Clips on back to hold probes good backlight

Un multimetre très pratique pour le dépannage dans le milieu résidenciel.Facile d'utilisation pour les novices.
