DT838 Digital Multimeter
A Digital Multimeter That's Been a Total Game Changer
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've been using the DT838 digital multimeter for five years, and it's been a total game changer. This thing's got a ridiculously wide range of measurements, including DC and AC voltage, resistance, and even DC current up to 10 amps. The built-in diode and transistor testing functions have saved me a ton of time and hassle. The temperature measurement function is a lifesaver, especially when troubleshooting overheating motors or faulty electronics. I've even dropped it a few times without any damage, so it's definitely built to last. I'm really happy with my choice and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable digital multimeter.
