Tools and Hardware Reviews of Palm-Size Handheld Digital Multimeter - DT830B

Customer Review: Only worked twice
Summary: 2 Stars

Just went to use it for the third time and zip, nada. Save your money and go to Harbor freight and get the same thing for 99 cents on sale or a buck 99 anytime. I will mention that I have had this since June 16th this year, maybe it expired LOL. Cant recomend this one, am very disapointed in myself for not checking prices, they got me good this time.

Customer Review: terrible accuracy; forever to deliver
Summary: 1 Stars

This item arrived with a dead battery. Barely enough energy to turn the meter on. A new, quality battery cost me as much as the meter, minus shipping did. It's still not very accurate. Shorting the leads together on the lowest resistance scale doesn't make the meter read zero resistance like it should. This was a very disappointing purchase.

Customer Review: Great for it's price.
Summary: 4 Stars

Good for everyday use.
Great for all around use, but fails in few areas.
- Not very accurate below 20v DC. Can't measure batteries accurately.
- Not really made for AC voltage.
- Never accurate reading resistors.
- Not made for classroom use.

But such a light weight meter to have.

Customer Review: Broke after a week
Summary: 1 Stars

This multimeter worked great for a week -- now it's broken. I measured the AC V of a wall socket when I got it, now it won't measure that. It won't register anything on my car battery nor will it register anything on some DC power supplies I have.

Oh well, you get what you pay for.

Customer Review: cheap and inaccurate
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a low quality product that barely does what a multimeter should. I once compared its readings to a better multimeter and they were way off. It is worth it though if you just need to do simple things that don't require good accuracy. For the price its a little better than expected.
