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.

Works as intended. Seems accurate so far. Quite a beefy unit but still portable enough to carry around. Very solidly built - this is going to last a long time. Clear display and has all the functions you would expect/need. Excellent.

It arrived as promised next day unpacked it first impressions were good it has a nice bit of weight to it and looks quite robust, so I set up the test rig and was pleasantly suprised at how accurate it was but it does have one tiny fault in DC mode it won't zero if you move the probes about it throws random numbers but is nearly sopt on when you put the probes on the subject test then it's stable well £42 what do you want accuracy and its got that so I be keeping it.. The alkaline battetys that come with it are you generic cheap Chinese so I swapped them for a couple of duracell I had laying about. Would I recommend this multimeter yes for the price it is very good, I will only use it in the home for when I need to trouble shoot electronics with I the home computer motherboards and the like: UPDATE upon closer inspection the surrounding rubber can not be removed so it should take the odd knock but should you blow one or both ceramic fuses you can not get in to replace then leaving the unit usless, why make something so good then make it so you can't change a blinking fuse ahrrr

My little cheap Chinese multimeter broke after many years of use and after some research I bought this. It does everything I need in my hobby of trying to keep classic cars on the road. Should have retired my old one years ago!

Exellent meter for the price covers every thing you will need.

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

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 )

Very versatile

Sono ben 5 anni che posseggo lo strumento, da quando l'ho acquistato, e ad oggi funziona ancora correttamente e l'unica necessita` che ho avuto e` stata quella di cambiare le pile un paio di volte. Lo strumento e` veramente ben fatto, e come precisione non si discosta molto da quella di marche molto piu` blasonate e che costano almeno il triplo. Consiglio vivamente di vedere il video che ho realizzato perche` oltre a presentare il prodotto dal vivo, rappresenta anche una guida rapida per un neofita che vorrebbe acquistare un tester e vorrebbe una panoramica delle funzioni. Faccio comunque una breve descrizione generale. Pro: Costruzione di ottima fattura: plastiche e gomma di rivestimento esterno sono praticamente intatte dopo 5 anni di utilizzo il che e` segno della buona qualita` dei materiali impiegati. Display grande, retroilluminato a scelta, led frontale per ambienti bui, cambio di colore al rilevamento di tensioni pericolose, pozzetti per inserire i puntali retroilluminati e lampeggianti per indicare senza possibilita` di errore dove collegare gli stessi, fondo scala automatico, puntali lunghi e di qualita` costruttiva buona, cavi flessibili e cappuccio protettivo per prevenire corti. Cat III fino a 1000 V. Oltre alle misurazioni piu` tipiche come i Volt, gli Ohm etc, ci sta anche una termocoppia che misura la temperatura tramite sonda a contatto! Questa e` una comodita` unica quando si deve sfruttare la funzione di calibrazione di un saldatore a stagno, per esempio. Misura anche i Farad per i condensatori, ha anche la funzione NCV che senza contatto rileva tensioni basse e alte, funzione LIVE che sarebbe l'analogo del cerca fase tramite uso del solo puntale rosso (che verra` usato come cercafase appunto). Contro: Manca di una custodia per il trasporto e protezione. Questa e` effettivamente l'unica nota negativa che mi sento di segnalare. A chi e` rivolto? Trattandosi si un prodotto semiprofessionale ma che ha anche protezioni contro inversioni di polarita` etc e` rivolto un po` a tutti: hobbisti piu` o meno esigenti ed anche ai professionisti elettricisti. Do 5 stelle, praticamente 1 per ogni anno di funzionamento corretto e senza intoppi.

This meter is a bit larger then I was expecting but it is of a well made solid construction. I had to supply my own batteries but I prefer to use my own leakproof brand anyway in these meters. I read some negative reviews that say either the probe tips are to short to be useful or they are of flimsy construction however the plastic protective tip covers have to be removed first! These covers allow a small portion of the probe tips to protrude so that may convince some people to think that these are not covers but to use them properly you just have to remove these covers! The construction of the probe and cables are of standard durable construction. As for accuracy I had no need to extensively use it yet but I can confirm that it reads 110 voltage correctly, it displays the correct 50 hertz frequency and the continuity tester beep/ohm measurement function works along with the non contact current tester function along with the display light. The fact that the corresponding probe inputs light up in line with the function you select with the dial lets you shut that function of your brain off for a second. All in all I wanted to purchase the best meter at the best price that will suit my needs and I am not disappointed.

OK

Compré este multímetro para realizar comprobaciones eléctricas en la instalación de mi vivienda y, hasta el momento, ha cumplido perfectamente con lo que esperaba. Lo he utilizado para medir tensiones, comprobar la alimentación en distintos puntos de la instalación y realizar algunas verificaciones básicas durante el diagnóstico de una incidencia eléctrica. Las mediciones han sido estables y el funcionamiento me ha parecido sencillo e intuitivo. Para un usuario doméstico que quiera hacer comprobaciones eléctricas con seguridad y disponer de un equipo completo, me parece una opción muy recomendable. Dispone de múltiples funciones y la pantalla se lee con facilidad. Lógicamente no puedo compararlo con equipos profesionales de gama alta, pero para tareas de mantenimiento, bricolaje y diagnóstico en el hogar considero que ofrece una muy buena relación calidad-precio. Hasta ahora ha funcionado sin ningún problema y volvería a comprarlo.

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.
