Multimeter recommendations

[JonnyG]

The last few strands of wire on my trusty Uni-T multimeter's probes have severed so I'm seeing this as an opportunity to get a new one with a continuity buzzer.

The old one did everything I will ever need one to do, so I'm not looking for a Fluke or anything in that bracket. I tried a Thisinde?!? branded one from Amazon which was garbage, laughable backlight, terrible manual, and most importantly no buzzer when it was listed as having one, so that went back.

Does anyone have any recommendations for one around £30-40?

Requirwments are...

Buzzer
Backlight (which remains on until you turn it off)
Croc clips included.

Thanks!

You shouldn't need to pay that much. I got one like this a couple of years back and it's worked well.

Had no idea some meters don't have continuity buzzers! This one has a buzzer and a light, Back light is good but fades out to save battery. Think most probably do as it's too easy to forget about and leave on. I'm always forgetting to turn my meter off! No croc clip leads but I just bought those separately.

Just noticed they want a fiver for postage, so it is almost in your price range, after all.

I have about 5 different multimeters all various specs and prices and this one below is spot on, compared to my expensive one it gives the same results when reading and does more! also comes with various leads and clips

Cheers Brettster, I could well be sold on that. But first... DOES IT HAVE A BUZZER?!?

 

[Brettster]

it does and its not too bad,(skip to around 14 mins into the vid) you can get the same one cheaper if you dont mind waiting for it from China
