This is not a Fluke nor is it even a Radio Shack, but the price is right and as an occasional household tool the DT830 works well enough. However If you are an electronic hobbyist this meter will probably not meet your needs. The Ohm-meter function works poorly in it's lower ranges and the diode check has no feedback tone. I could go on about its crude finish, but it's still a bargain if you need something cheap and expendable.

I used this multimeter a few times in a 6 month period. It was not very precise but ok for hobby use.
However it was not measuring anything properly after 6 months.
Save yourself some time and money and invest in a more reliable multimeter even if you have to spend a bit more.

A good multimeter. It works perfectly fine as a multimeter itself. I bought it just for household usage, such as checking batteries, electric wires, outlets, and so forth, and it is fuctioning for that purpose. I don't expect more than that from this cheap one. If your expectation is about those ranges, get this one. I researched multimeters a little bit and it was the cheapest I found in July 2008, only when delivery is free.
