What ever happened to good ol' multimeters? One device that does a hell of a lot more than just an ohm-meter, and usually more accurate too...?

From what I understand, the inexpensive multimeters that most people have are terrible at the low resistances we are measuring. The internal resistance of the meter itself starts to come into play, as does that of the wire between the meter and the probes (as well as the probes themselves).

Four terminal sensing (Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) is often used to overcome some of these limitations.

Can anyone come up with a good reason why svoemesto never thought of adding a small nub to the deck isolator so that it holds the positive block in place by nudging into the other end of the coil screw hole? It's such a simple solution to wandering positive blocks that I imagine it's occurred to them. So why not do it?

I find that telling this to someone who can do something about it is the best course of action.

They do do a hell of a lot more things.. a bunch of things I have no use for.

I like the ohm-meter for a stand to build on and check the resistance quickly.

I have two multi meters - and one is a high quality meter. But I just ordered one of these carto/atomizer ohm meters thinking that it'll be that much more convenient. I didn't expect a $20 meter to have very tight tolerances, but . . . uh oh. $20 seems a bit much for a rebuilding stand. I'm guessing they all come from China, so I just might get a good a decent one. One never knows, do one.
