bobapple Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I need some help on which multimeter to buy, I need one which measures volts and ohms. It could also do with fine terminals which are on a lead as I may need to check things in some tricky places, don't want to spend a fortune as this is just to work out my trac cont issue.

JustGav Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Maplin's do a fairly cheapy one, around £25, works just fine for general things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobapple Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 I need it to measure some connections on my car, between 2 terminals, it needs to be able to measure down to 0.42 ohms and up to 14 volts for 2 different tests. Thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den1 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This ia a good little meter http://www.maplin.co.uk/manual-ranging-digital-multimeter-with-transistor-test-44679 Manual Ranging Digital Multimeter with Transistor Test Order Code: N19BW only £19.99 includes free UK standard delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Almost any digital multimeter will do for measuring voltage and resistance, you don't really need to spend more than £10 if you're hardly going to use it. The ones that have an audible continuity feature are useful. £7 delivered The one I bought years ago for £5 still works pefectly, I've got a more expensive one too as I use it a lot.
