Re: What Multimeter? General HA Use

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ben,

I have one like this:
http://cpc.farnell.com/IN04881/test-equipment/product.us0?sku=3Dunbranded-i=
n04881
Tech data here:
http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.jsp?moduleId=3Dcpc/267680.xml

Which usefully has a temperature probe included.
It's been very good. Batteries have lasted and it's easy to use.

If you do get one, get a case as it stops the wires getting tangled etc.

HTH,

Tim.
