Back in the early '90s I bought a rather inexpensive little multi-meter at a local store in Houston. Took it to the wizards at Compaq's Test Engineering Dept and they were pretty amazed at how accurate that little thing was. It led a very useful life of about 25 years before crapping out. Bought an electrical 'set' that stored in a pouch....found out just how crappy the Chinese could make things! I could probably guess more accurately than this thing worked.
Finally had to go online and do a little research for a better one, but money was REAL tight at the time. Ended up getting another Chinese unit, but this one is much better quality than the "pouch pixie" unit! Sadly, it still has its drawbacks. Will probably fork up the money for a decent Fluke in the future, but just not at that point yet.
One thing I'll say is, the top-level engineers that checked out my unit at Compaq said one of the most important things to do with ANY multi-meter is to throw away the leads and buy/build some top-of-the-line leads. I didn't buy separate leads for this multi-meter, so will probably try that before buying a Fluke.
By the way, that "pouch pixie" meter that I hated so much looks amazingly like the same model that Tee got at HF. I hope you have better luck with yours!!
