I took the device apart as the warranty had run out, as you only get 3 months with it and found the soldered joint on the negative side of the 510 had a dry connection, so I cleaned all areas and soldered a good connection, re- assembled it and hey presto it works like a dream now and I'm getting the 0.5 ohms on the display as it should read, It has only ever shown 0.6 to 0.7 ohms on a coil that I know was 0.5 ohms.
Hope this was of help.
This has worked so well, the readings are solid at 0.5 ohms and not moved at all, this device has never worked so well. It's all down to the assembly process, as the circuit board is all fully soldered prior to assembly, the only soldering done to finish the product is the negative to the 510 connection as it can't be done prior to assembly and it was soldered so bad no wonder the ohms were jumping all over the place. This is a must fix for all of these devices in my opinion.
