I had one of the Centech cheapens and didn't bother
replacing it after it died. The AC volts scale was way
off on it from the day I opened the box...
118vAC on my Fluke DVM or my Simpson 260 read
124v on the Centech.
Yea a man with two watches never knows what time it is, Seriously though if you were checking to see if voltage is present or if a fuse is good or not or if a feed line is shorted or not it would be adequate. I am meter poor around here but I bought a couple anyway to give to my customers to check fuses with. Heck I don't even think you can get a test light (battery powered) for $2.99. It has a one year warranty but it would probably cost more than $2.99 to mail it back to them.tom n8ies
If I were going to buy one I'd take another meter and some
test samples: a 9v DC battery and both a 100 ohm and a
10k resistor with me to the store...
I'd read the store's AC voltage with my meter, then pop open
the Centech box there in the store and use it to read the AC
voltage, the 9v battery and the two resistors against known
values (i.e. your other meter).
