Amprobe PM55A Red and Black Compact Precision Digital Multimeter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
+ Super small and light
+ Works fine
+ Continuity checker is reasonably loud
+ Much better quality than those small Radio Shack mini meters, albeit a tad larger
+ Case is nice

Cons:
- I don't like that the probes do not plug in with standard probe plugs.This means you can't use all your standard Fluke clamps, alligator clips, and standard probes.They could have fit it that way and still kept it flat, and included these mini probes.This ALMOST made me give it three stars, but then one has to take into consideration that its purpose is for travel, not perfection
- The instruction manual (yeah, I know... how hard can it be) doesn't fit into the case.Were it just a bit smaller, it would fit fine.That's just weird.
-Don't like that it uses a whacky small battery (CR-2032; easy to find at any watch store or radio shack, but hard to find in the middle of nowhere).Understand it has to to be so flat, but I'd rather a small bump and two AAs or AAAs.I am probably alone in this opinion.Still, how about inside having a built in holder for a spare battery; that way if you're stuck somewhere and it runs out, you have one in there.I put an extra one in the pack just in case.You should too.
