I travel with this meter in Europe to keep my wife from burning up another hair dryer. It’s small and compact easy to use.

The next small meter costs more.Pay attention to what you are measuring and this should work well.Don't hit anything over 240v or higher than the amp rating and you'll be fine.I bought a second one because of how convenient they are.

I've got a gazillion volt ohm meters (VOMs) from various manufacturers. I didn't really need another, by nostalgia of the folding "pocket meter" Radio Shack used to sell caused me to put this one in my cart. Compared to the Radio Shack model, quality appears to be about the same, with the size of the allsun being slightly larger. The addition of the sliding lock on the case was a nice touch, as is the ability to run the meter off a single AAA battery (not included). The test leads are not detachable, so this is a "use it til it breaks, then buy another" product. The price point is good and auto-ranging operation is very straightforward. Just keep in mind this isn't a lab-grade instrument, so it's not fair to compare it to your Fluke. But for a back-up/spare meter for the car or junk drawer, this VOM fits the bill nicely and it's nice how the leads are enclosed inside the package. Opening/closing it is a bit of a pain, particularly with the double-jointed hinge, but I think that's a fair trade-off for the neatness when it's a stored away.

If you had and liked one of the old Tandy/Micronta mini multimeters, you'll be happy with this. Now that I have my hands on it, it's much nicer than the price tag would imply, fit and finish is solid. I bought it for my motorcycle tank bag, I'll likely order another one for the junk drawer.

I needed a very small multimeter that I could carry in my emergency toolbox that I keep in my car, and not take up a lot of space that's needed for pliers, screwdrivers, wrenches, et cetera. This looked like the best, and I'm glad I got it. Granted, it has a SLIGHTLY fragile feel, not rugged like my expensive professional meters that I have in my workshop. But among other things I love about it, it lives in its own integral protective case. I didn't want to have to deal with two pieces, the meter and a separate case. With this you just open the door. The case seems reasonably tough, all that I need for occasional light use. It also measures a ton of different things, more than I need but nice to have.I do have to laugh at all the one-star reviews saying that it arrived DOA. Several even said that they returned it, and the replacement was also DOA. Um, maybe a quick check to discover that it comes without a battery would have been in order.

No instructions on changing the battery in the manual. Easy enough to figure out, but then the PC board is...floating / unsupported. I wouldn't buy from them again.

This is a good compact meter that works well. It measures all common voltages and resistance. The display is reasonably easy to read but for use old guys - you will still need your glasses to read the units indicator which is quite small. That is my only complaint - decent sized digits but tiny units indicators that I need my reading glasses to see. It has a buzzer for continuity checks. I like the case that keeps the probes well sored when it is not in use and protects the meter when it is bouncing around inside my tool bag with the other tools.

Pro's:Small (4 5/8's x 2 5/16's x 1 1/16) with easy to read digital display and stores compactly without loose leads dangling about in a case that protects the face and allows it to be placed in with other tools and not be damaged.Con's:Instructions are not clear as to installing the battery. You might want longer leads (they are only about 19 inches long). Storing the leads and closing the case is a little fiddly.To help get you started:Remove two screws on the back. The back cover extends down to just below the face of the instrument. You might have to use a magnifier to see the seam where the cover separates from the face. Use a sharp knife edge on the seam to help pry the back cover from the face of the instument. Install the battery, replace the cover and secure it with the two screws. Other than that, you have to use care to store the leads so they do not interfere with the lid when you close it. Pay attention to how the leads are stored before taking them out for the 1st time. The plastic piece holding them in place is hinged and can be raised and snaps back in place.
