Hello all just wondering what sort of multimeter i should buy i have about $20 but doubt i will need to spend that much i just want a fairly good all-rounder to testing small circuits nothing big or anything any ideas where to get one?
thanks will
Not having much luck with this posting lark, are you?!
;-)
Anyhow, what exactly are intending to do with this meter?
What tests are you intending to conduct? What measurements do you need to take? What degrees of precision will you require?
What types of circuits will you be testing - "small" doesn't really tell us much!
For just basic go/no-go tests, I'd have thought you should certainly be able to find something under $20.
You could try ebay...
Just ordered a Fluke 78. Been told it might be good enough.
Thanks for the cool advice ;)

Just ordered a Fluke 78.
.. which cost $100+
Ahhhhhheeeemmm
If you get it through normal routes it might be $100+
I'm getting it from a local redundant stockist for $25. Has warranty and all paperwork.
Heck of a bargain, huh.
At least it's one thing I did today that's gone well :)
Yes, it sounds like you've bagged a bargain there!
The Fluke 78 gives you the automotive features you need, at the price you want. Features at a glance: * Volts, amps, continuity and resistance * Frequency for "pulsed-DC" and AC frequency tests * Duty Cycle to verify operation of feedback carburetors, and other variable duty cycle signals * Direct Reading Dwell for 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-cylinder engines.
That is exactly what the doctor had ordered! :-)
