Multi Meter

[HoneyGram57]

My ohms meter went wonkers earlier so I just placed an order with Harbor Freight for a 7 function multimeter. Before checking out I looked for coupon codes as I do with everyone and I found a Great one! Receive a free multimeter with ANY purchase. So I popped;
1/16 in. Titanium Nitride High Speed Steel Drill Bits, 10 Piece, Item # 93076 Sale:$0.99; into the cart and paid tax & shipping.
Now that's what I REALLY call a cheap meter!
If anyone needs such a deal the coupon code is 45012453 and can be found at:

Cheap is not the way to go if you are going to be rebuilding your own coils. You need a meter that is both accurate and reliable! The same goes for battery chargers.

Good find, it's the same meter I use. As long as you're not going down into the low sub ohm area, it will do what you need it to do. Just make sure you check the internal resistance of the leads often, and remember to subtract it when checking your coil resistance.

Cheap meters tend to be powered by batteries so esoteric as to require the services of a small team of NASA scientists and a ouija board to locate... Just saying.

It's usually easier/cheaper to buy a new meter than to replace the battery...

You're not checking car batteries, man. And those HF Centech meters aren't great to begin with.


There are deals to be found at HF but that's another thread.
