cheap multimeter: $7 delivered
 

no affiliation

no excuse not to have one at this price

But where's the LCD read out? ;)

Someone buy 2 of these and Ill paypal you for one. Hate giving out my info on random websites.

that site has been OK for me numerous times... if that helps

digital one here but it'll prolly be $14 w/shipping. I have one that's been working for a couple of years now.

HF typically has the yellow digital ones for $2.99 in the wooden bins at the front.

I bought two meters at HF today. $2.99 for the normal red one that they always sell (my HF gray one broke a week ago - damn, I should have bought 10 of those things) and $12.99 for a different one that I had not seen before. I wanted one with an audio beep for continuity and the $12.99 had it. They had a "larger" one for $10.99 with a temp sensor but it was just too big and bulky for what I needed. All three were digital.

FWIW, I thought my gray one that died just needed a new battery (an A23A 12 volt). I happened to be in Walgreens and looked to see if they had the batteries. They had a 1 pack for $3.99 and a 2 pack for ..... $3.99! I just thought that was kind of funny. BTW, they were the same brand battery - just a price mix up or something.

So $3.99 for a battery for a $2.99 multi-meter? Sounds like a deal!

If you used that multimeter every week for 2 years then $3.99 for a repair is an incredible deal. Still didn't fix it though <G>. I'm thinking it is one of the switches so I'm going to have to crack it back open and take a closer look.
