My old meters are cheapie and one is even analog. I'm tired of soldering the wires in the probes. I decided it was time to step into the 21st century and get a new one. Of course this one is still a cheapie Chinese one but it feels and what little I have used it, seems decent in quality for a 33 dollar meter. I did a little research and even brand names like Fluke are Asian made too, but the standards could be different of course.
The probes from the analog one won't fit the digital ones. Those probes are still in good shape!
This is the one I bought. I wanted the Min/Max volt feature.

The probes feel durable, but the meter did not come with alligator clips. Didn't look like I could use my old ones until I figured out that those caps come off.
The probes fit into my old clips snugly.
Hooked the alligator clips to a battery to take a pic of the meter reading voltage. The screen is a nice size and has a backlight. There is a kickstand on the back too to hold it up.
I think it will probably do more functions than I know how so it should be a good tool around here.
