    Cons:

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Compact Multimeter, nice to keep it in your backpack. Works good, so far had no problem. Always gona me some battery failing and you have to see if it's the time to throw away.
    Cons:
    Chinese Manual, and hardly to arrange back the cables. Indeed I have sure that any one can easily use that with no trouble.

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Space saving. Clear display. Audible beep for continuity check. Reasonable priced. Saves times from switching dial since this unit has the 'auto range' design. Cover flips 360 degrees comfortably when open.
    Cons:
    Some say the dial is a bit wobbly, but if you know it is a bit more delicate then you will also be more careful on how you turn...
