Equus 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter VERY NICE

Equus 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter  VERY NICE
First of all, I do like my new multimeter. I do computer work and I frequently have to test for power. The small probes with this multimeter fit all but the most microscopic power adapters, so it proves useful getting tight spaces. You can use this thing on your vehicle and inside the home, so it's very versatile. For people like me than don't know a ton about electrical power, the auto ranging feature makes testing VERY simple.

However, the neatest features of this multimeter were...cheap. The two "hooks" for the probes to hold them off the table don't hold very well at all. They work, but the probes are more than likely to fall when you pick up the multimeter...so keep the caps on to prevent stabbing yourself.

The other issue I had was more of a geek thing. The three LED's that show the power for the batteries on my multimeter no longer work, and that happened after less than 24 hours after opening the packaging. It doesn't matter much because if you're testing a 1.5v battery and the screen says 0.3, it's "dead". I just like stuff that's supposed to be lit to actually light up when they are supposed to.
