Bench Multimeter for £30

[Boyan Silyavski]

Forgive me my ignorance, but how is that better than my 10 euro multimeter from lidl pdm 250 a2? I see the bench one could measure temperature, but i have very good laser gun thermometer to 1300C . Anything else that one might need ? In the DIY CNC line of things i mean.

In terms of measurement ranges, it does frequency, capacitance and temperature >230C. It has a large back-lit display and can be mains powered. Otherwise it is functionally the same as the lidl one, I guess.

BUT it is a Bench Multimeter, and I reckon it is big enough to use as a bench .

That's the multi in multimeter. Another advantage is that you are more likely to notice if one of those thieving sparkies tries to make off with it !

Don't be daft they wouldn't be seen dead with anything less than a fluke, when/if they can find it amongst all that mess they call a work van :D

You obviously don't understand multimeter snobbery, if you pull anything less than a well used Fluke 17B out of your bag you cannot hope to be taken seriously. I laugh at your Lidl multimeter, "ha!"

Practically on the same spiritual plane as the orca. I envy your Avo 7, but only if you have the case
