SparkFun Part Number: TOL-09141

Description: This is for all those starving students that need to buy their first good, low-cost multimeter. This meter has really impressive overall feel for being so low-cost. We've played with a lot of cheap-o DMMs and found that this unit's function selector has a great, solid, clicking feel to it. This unit has good continuity (rare for low-cost units), and decent probes. We even left a meter on to test the battery life - it lasted more than 170 hours (7 days) before the included 9V gave out!

• Current/Voltage sense
• Battery included
• Very solid clicking feel to the function selector
• Decent quality probes (not great, but they'll hold up for years)
• Strong connection from meter to probe
