    My above meter give wrong reading in volt range how can get it card or new meter direct to stockist i am from ahmedabad India i want another 5 piece

    I've just received the meter, and after some quick tests I must say I like it very much (I have maybe 10 meters, and I've used a lot of others, in 55 years of study, work and hobby).
    It will find a place in one of my tool boxes (there are other meters on the test bench) because it does "honestly" what it promises.
    I bought it on Ali Express for the small sum of 13.5 Euros, which included delivery, the meter, semi-decent probes, two AAA rechargeable batteries, a charger and a carrying case.
    Truly satisfied
    Thank you for the reviews. Next meter will be the hybrid Sanwa, If I can find it at a cheap price

    Nice teview. Thanks. I have one in the mail ordered from AliExpress.
    I'm sorry because when placing the order I did not read it would not test diodes.. but I have a lot of other meters..
    The riser board on the mA socket is needed because the socket is split, so two contacts go to the mainboard.
    When a plug is inserted the contacts are shorted and the meter knows that he must measure current.

    Correctly rated as CAT II. I appreciate that. Aneng sells a very similar one.

    ZOYI ZT-S1(my device) or analog Richmeters RM403b

    Begins to measure volts from 0.80V. If 0.79V that writes the word AUTO instead of the indication.

    And the important point – the speed of display of measurements is late in comparison with normal multimeters. I am yet not especially strong in electronics – the diode soldered out from card showed on display as 0.866M Ω in one party and nothing in another (display the word AUTO), and the other my cheap multimeter showed the same diode as 0.523V in one party and nothing in the return.

    When the probe in amperes costs the device each 5 seconds publishes a quiet signal and at the same time red indicator winks – it is excellent.

    And it is interesting messages about this device (from the review on Youtube of the Russian user):
    – "All nothing, but is one annoying nuance – a display viewing angle. The step to the left a right step and the display becomes invisible"

    – "For the master of electronics will not go"

    – "In car service was worn out to change safety locks – masters quite often forget to switch a normal multimeter and then this model with the auto mode of course saves"

    – "There is a lot of limitation because of automatization "

    – "For me as electronics engineer about anything"

    – "Device not bad, interesting. Slowed down only."

    – "Question: For repair electricians of the car will go? – the Answer: And not only, 3 months I use the full-fledged device "

    – "The most successful multimeter for the normal "man in the house" who is not burdened by institute knowledge. Full automatic machine, unexpectedly. "

    – "For work such it is necessary to us and that after a lock burned already couple of tens of multimeters "

    – "Here I also decided that to me and will be such convenient, than to bother with switching of the modes. It cool! "

    – "For the master of electronics will not go. "

    – "I advised the friend such device, and he is happy as an elephant. He is not an electronics engineer, not the electrician, and just the guy with hands. For the house, for household use most that."

    – "At that time when I was a pioneer and little is skillful, precisely would buy him. "

    – "And why for house? I here at work on a working flat out burned next the 830th, from ring-up did not switch also tension to measure got. Approximately every two years such jamb happens"

    – "Such device will find the grateful user. For house, nonprofessional use, very will approach, it is not necessary to bother with switches, especially, if the person understands what a little he switched there. A toy, of course, but with the pluses. "

    – "And I here think such to take as house, for the iron, check of batteries, sockets and in field conditions. Will quite descend! "

    – "Bad multimeter… It is better to pay in addition a little and to buy in classical execution with the switch "

    hello, ı have a cheap multimeter, problem is it does not off. dead or repair !

    Hi Darren, mine is bright geen and the torch works with the backlight. its badged as Aneng V01A. Still has safety sticker over the current jack, shows how much use it gets.

  10. Pete Ciallella

    Thanks for the review Darren. That continuity tone delay is a pet peeve of mine.. lol The concept of this type of meter is good, omitting the mechanical selector switch which can sometimes become dirty/problematic.

    I also have the Tacklife version of 403B and same results except the light works – this video just makes me want a 404B lol Youre right thought they feel well made and feel good in the hand but having to wait for results and worse having less low end functionality – I think they could have done better – and the 404B proves it, and im guessing its both auto and manual ranging.

    You would have a great time with the Crap-o-meter: Cen-Tech Digital Multimeter on Amazon for 7.99 and every so often Free at Harbor Freight.
