KAIWEETS HT118A Digital Multimeter Professional, T-RMS Autoranging Multitester 6000 Counts Measures AC/DC Current, Voltage, Continuity, Capacitance, NCV, Resistance, Duty, Diodes, Live, LED Jacks

EDIT - well it's November 24 a year after buying it and still really happy with it, I've used it for a lot of stuff (other that just guitars) and still impressed with it. I was just passing through as I'm going to be buying another one (amongst other things) for my son whose finally leaving home! I saw a review on here that a chap who's bought one said there is no continuity buzzer. There is, but I didn't know at first either, I found out by a fluke (if you will excuse the pun) when you set the resistance function, it is silent, but press 'FUNC' then you get the reading and the buzzer, if you press func again it'll go into diode reading mode - I think you can cycle this, and I only found out by mistake because I'm ham fisted and pressing buttons willy nilly!! But it does show you on the selector switch you can have the buzzer. The other person whose posted photos of the "wrong leads" well - I don't know what to say - they have protective covers that pull off the end of the lead that goes into the meter socket. I don't think anyone else here has complained about having to remove covers, so I think it's safe to ignore that review, like everyone else has. I'm not an electrician so I don't rely on a meter to earn my money, but I believe most households should have a meter for those little jobs that a DIY'er would be comfortable to do. I paid £40 for this meter (I believe it was even cheaper a few months ago) and I'm really happy with it. It tells you which sockets to connect your leads into for whichever function you want to measure. I do a lot of work on my guitars and it's excellent for continuity and capacitance. It's also great for measuring AC mains and DC for your car. I watched a lot of youtube reviews before I bought and most report that the accuracy is spot on when compared to a Fluke. That's all I really need. If I was a HV electrician and went about measuring current and voltage on substation busbars then I'd probably end up with a Fluke as I'm not sure that the leads are rated at a CAT rating. But then again its horses for courses, for me it's a fantastic meter, easy to read, easy to use, pretty rugged and hopefully long lasting.

It's good and met my expectation. It functions very efficiently

I use a multi meter all the time as a marine electrician, this use is to replace my current unit which after 18 year and finally died and many drop of five feet or more but survived due to the think rubber protector. Well this meter as a rubberized feel to it though I don't think it will last many drops on the floor. It is a nice size and a good hand full It has a nice big screen which can be back lit and the small built in diode torch will be useful to some and me for that odd dark place. The test lead are reasonable quality and when you switch it on the meter to a range the unit flashes what holes the test leads should be in ( only useful for anyone not use to a meter all the time). One useful feature is the 240v sensor in the top of the unit which when held near a 240v cable will indicate if cable is live, ( just saves having to carry the old magic pencil ) Only thing I not happy with is the temp read out is duel screen and of course the bigger figures display is in F and the Celsius in the small display Not had time to check the accuracy yet

Why did you choose this product over others?: After looking at many reviews and videos this was the one that was most suited for my needs, and the price was right

Perfect for the job

Looked at the review on the YouTube Dronebot Workshop comparing a range of multimeters and this one was right up there. Feels premium quality. I noticed that a number of Amazon reviews stated there was no continuity buzzer, however if you press the function button this toggles the feature. All in all, happy with my purchase.

I looked at the industry standard "Fluke" and said - "I've Retired". All has been well over all the ranges till ( 440-80V x4 3,200VA, SCR rectifier/charger, F.U. ) and left in charge of a E.T. friend. He blew its 10A fuse! . Interesting getting protective side sleeve off, its 4 screws, and can report a very clean PCB, swept under a x10 magnifier. My preferred workmate - AVO 8 over a digital. So very decent Asian digital product, I chose without optional meter case, I prefer a fishing tackle case (14x15x7cm) to hold meter and the requisite 10/12 leads + the odd fuse + old GPO relay cleaner. ( inc. a can of Switch Cleaner would be too excessive )

Spot on.. does the job as expected.. One drawback the connectors feels abit lose Otherwise the material build quality is great..

Wery god instrument precision like fluke

This is to update my previous review. They original one I received was used obviously because it had holes drilled in it! I had a conversation with the seller and they assured me that it was Amazon that sent me a used one and that could not have possibly happened through their distribution. The replacement unit works well. It does meet specifications listed in the manual. The case seems to be of a sufficient quality to make the meter reasonably rugged especially in this price range. The test leads are typical PVC insulation so they're a little stiff and specially in cold weather, but they are functional and what you would expect in this price range so I'm not going to knock them. Optional silicone test leads are available for a few more dollars and I would recommend getting them if you're using this meter for more than hobby or home use. The replacement test leads (not expensive) also come with adapters for various uses and those are handy in many situations even if you are a hobbyist, home tinkerer or a shade tree mechanic. Also the warranty is a plus. 3 years at this price point is unheard of anywhere else. I was impressed enough that I purchased another Kaiweets meter, the peak current inrush reading amp clamp. I was trying to find a model number in the listing but it is the unit that is as of February 25th selling for $89.95. It has also turned out to offer value beyond its price. The meter seems to be rugged and would take a few hits but I wouldn't try throwing it against the wall like you could with a Fluke. Then again you're not paying Fluke prices and if used in the proper setting this meter will last. If you're not going to use a meter for a long time please remove the batteries. Alkaline batteries contrary to some opinion will leak and cleaning that up can go anywhere from being an annoyance to totally destroying the meter. If you're using this in a home setting, hobbyist, shade tree mechanic or light-duty commercial use not involving high energy systems it's a very good value and I think you'll be very happy with it. But as always if you're in an industrial setting and you need cat 3/cat 4 I would go with a proper industrial meter that has had the cat 3/cat 4 rating performed by UL, ETL or in Fluke's case, Fluke's own in-house testing lab. Would you really trust your life in those situations to a product that cost $36? I would hope not. From my previous review: I opened by meter today and it looked good until I turned over the meter to put the batteries in. There are two holes drilled into the kick stand and two holes started but not finished. These are not factory at all and either this was a demo or a used meter recycled as a new unit . Returning for a refund. I purchased a new unit NOT a refurb or return. The box seal shows evidence of being peeled back and replaced. I will not rate accuracy, easy to read, or value for money. I have not looked at any of these. I'm not even bothering with inserting the batteries. If the company will send one out like this, I cannot trust the unit for accuracy nor safety.

Questo multimetro è un po' ingombrante a causa di un guscio protettivo di un certo spessore, che lo protegge da urti e cadute accidentali. È di facile utilizzo e permette l'esecuzione delle principali misure con una buona precisione, è dotato di sonda termometrica per misura di temperature in doppia scala C/F e di funzione NCV per rilevare la presenza di tensione nei cavi, senza contatto. Come la maggior parte dei multimetri, l'errore di lettura è elevato sui condensatori di bassa capacità, il mio esemplare nella misura di un condensatore da 100pf, mi da circa 70pf, il condensatore è un ceramico multistrato, che misurato con un ponte RCL di alta precisione mi da 102,5pf. Su capacità più elevate si avvicina, con un errore accettabile, al valore reale. Nell'uso normale è un buon multimetro, economico di facile uso con indicazione della posizione dei puntali per evitare danni e cambio del colore del display quando si misurano tensioni elevate per la sicurezza dell'operatore. La definizione di "professionale", a mio avviso e per la mia esperienza, è un po' azzardata. I multimetri professionali hanno un numero di cifre più elevato, una precisione maggiore e oltre alla funzione massimo/minimo, hanno il tasto Rel che permette di sottrarre un valore dalla lettura per una maggiore precisione, per es. nella misura di resistenze di basso valore si può sottrarre tramite il tasto Rel il valore della resistenza dei cavi dei puntali, inoltre hanno una memoria interna che permette di salvare una serie di letture e una porta seriale, USB, o modulo bluetooth per interfacciare il multimetro con il PC, hanno il tasto mat (funzioni matematiche) ed altre caratteristiche. I prezzi sono elevati. Ho acquistato questo multimetro, per avere uno strumento ben protetto da cadute accidentali per uso quotidiano e dopo averlo testato e confrontato con altri strumenti della stessa fascia, in mio possesso, posso dire che si tratta di un multimetro di prezzo basso con delle buone caratteristiche, che va molto bene sia per lavoro che per uso hobbistico. Non mi posso esprimere sulla durata, questa si vedrà nel tempo. Ho dato 5 stelle per il rapporto prestazioni/prezzo e per l'efficienza del servizio clienti di Amazon.

This thing is an absolute beast, not only by design but also inside. The meassurements are perfect and havent found any faulty meassurement yet. Its easy to use it with those lights at the ports, and i like the frequentie thats been showed when you meassure volts in AC mode. Also the light will turn red, when the voltage is too dangerous, and there is also a torch in it for some light.

Das Messgerät hat viele Funktionen, ist gut und leicht bedienbar, das Display ist auch gut ablesbar! Preis Leistung ist top!
