KAIWEETS Digital Multimeter Smart, Rechargeable Multi Meter Automotive with 10000 Counts T-RMS, Measures AC/DC Current Voltage Resistance Continuity Frequency Diodes-KM601S

(£42.49 Jul 2023)I have an OLD 90's Tandy/Radio Shack multimeter my dad bought that still works, but the readings were significantly different from the 4yrs+ and 1yr+ old cheap chinese ones. Time to get something that can be trusted.Who or what are Kaiweets?I didn't know who they were - I knew who Fluke are, but Kaiweets? No chance.Well, now I know. They were highly rated by multiple reviewers on that video website and for ~£40ish quid, they were worth a try.In the 90's you had heard of Fluke, but you couldn't justify buying one unless you were in the trade. Now you can. Bought this to pair with a nice new Fluke 17B+ (~£140) as the cheap chinese ones were going out now.The Kaiweets voltage readings were consistently the same as or differed by 0.01% from the Fluke - that is OUTSTANDING and I did not expect that.I was ready to throw the cheap chinese meters away - not the Tandy! It has a calibration potentiometer inside, and is carrying the torch onwards again.Opened up the cheap chinese one, which to be fair, looks good and has a great screen, and it too also had a calibration potentiometer inside - what dya know? Would not have been surprised if it had been factory calibrated and the potentiometer skipped to save 3p in manufacturing costs.All old meters calibrated to Fluke standards and all is well.Really impressed with this meter. It has some great functions that others do not have and it's accuracy is fantastic at this price range, only gripe is how many times you have to press the selector button but seriously, it's not a gripe, it's an observation, because, anything that can be in the conversation of a Fluke at fourty odd quid demands respect and admiration.If you need a multimeter, just get the Kaiweets. Seriously.If you want a Fluke more than you need it, get a Kaiweets.If you still want the Fluke, get both - now you can drop one and not be saddened as it hits the floor,or you might be with either of them to be honest.

Being a novice in the field of electronics, I wanted a multimeter that was easy to use for hobby projects and electronics education. As an amateur in this field, this meter is ideal for me, and I would anticipate that it would also meet the needs of a professional. An excellent product which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Found video on YouTube which gives directions on how to operate the meter and it’s very helpful to explain all inputs and lead connections. Nice compact unit in a very practical case and easy to operate on ‘smart’ The chargeable batteries from experience will be a useful addition as nothing worse than picking up a meter to do a test only to find the battery out of order and the built in torch light will be useful too. Looking forward to a long relationship with it.

Excellent piece of kit

Nice big display, been after one of these large screen meters for a while.The auto function is a treat!The continuity sound could be louder.

Perfect just what i needed very well built

This meter is excellent. I do have a few meters but I prefer to use the Kaiweets. The screen is large and bright and you can see the info on it at a very wide angle. i really like the auto mode when testing different componets, not needing to keep turning a knob to find the settings to test stuff. You can test a diode with the leads then just test a capacitor with the leads without touching the meter. It also has manual mode too. Its works really well and very pleased with it. It comes in a sturdy case so goes in my tool chest nice. The only thing not great on it is the leads, not of best quality but I have replaced them with much better ones and I think its more accurate now too with better leads. But still gets 5 stars.

This multimeter has a lot of functions and is automating, it also has a non contact voltage function and capacitance range. It is stored, along with leads and the instruction book, in a sturdy clam style case to keep it safe. Easy to use and accurate, a lot of features usually found on higher priced models. Excellent value for money.
