It feels good don't it? Good luck on the rest.

Thank you sir. Yes I feel good and also relieved because this one's been weighing on me a bit.

I use a pair of Mastercraft brand DMMs from Canadian Tire, from what I read most of those DMMs use the same main chip regardless of the name, it's the peripheral stuff like switches, sockets, test leads, and the case itself that differ, and they can cheapen out on. It's true that they are not as rugged, but I think that the previous two DMMs I bought from Canadian Tire were on sale for under $30, with tax, so if one blows up or breaks it's not a huge loss. Before that I was using a VTVM from EICO, till I blew up one of the resistors.

I need to get a vtvm. I think that little component tester is just more accurate. Plus it shows the inductance which is nice. It's like and ohm meter, RCL meter, and a component Identifier all in one. I highly recommend them. The TinySA also.

A DMM is good enough.
One rarely has to measure indictance, but if you do, short of getting a serious LCR meter (I have one, but rarely use it) there are DMMs available with L measurements.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

That's true. Of course If I were to get a vtvm I'd probably have to sink money in to it to get it working right. Probably just stay with what I have.

it certainly won't be metric! SAE threads were all that was known then. Take care, - GaryGarySP — 10:58 AM
