Hello everyone,
I've come across a yellow multimeter that's priced significantly lower than others, and I'm curious why it’s so inexpensive. Is this model reliable for basic measurements like voltage, resistance, and continuity? Has anyone used a similar low-cost multimeter, and if so, how accurate and durable is it?
Cheap multimeters often compromise on quality. The models typically have poorly built dials that are prone to breaking, making it difficult to change measurement modes reliably.
The probes are usually of substandard quality, with wires that can easily fray or detach, often requiring repair or replacement. they might lack insulation, input protection, or safety certifications. Using one to measure high-voltage circuits can be extremely dangerous. Therefore, I recommend always choosing a good-quality multimeter.
