(despite the aneamic buzzer) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ up and down quality. *by J***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2014* I'm on my second one of these in 3 years. I blew my first one up by surging it accidentally with a generator. I really like these multi meters. I think they're great and incredibly simple to use. They have a maximum voltage input of 600. I think I killed my other one with around 3000 hurrhurr. At first these multi meters feel a little cheap, but after use they tend to smoothen out a little. I use mine almost daily when I'm on the go with projects and they never let me down. They have a built in fuse for protection and are packed with features if you know how to use a multi meter to it's potential. I've heard of these models having loose solder joints which after comparing my old one to my knew one I can believe. the PCB's have random amounts of solder applied to different internal components. They do seem to be a little cheaply made internally. When you receive a new one of these you have to put the battery in yourself by taking the unit apart, so if you see any dodgy soldering work upon doing so you can send it back for another or a refund I would imagine. Simple as that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy, but I blew this baby. My own fault perhaps? *by T***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2009* OK. I am an electronics newbie, learning the hard way.I got this multimeter. It works nicely... It has many modes, as it says, voltage, resistance, current... etc.One thing I didn't like is that it doesn't come with a selection of leads. A finer point and a grabber would be nice options.Anyhow... I blew this one. I used my amp reading mode in parallel with a 12V circuit, no resistance across my multi-meter. Now, my multi-meter only reads 0A :( No matter what mode.I asked on an electronics forum, and they told me to try replacing the fuse. I did. The old fuse was blown. But this didn't fix the problem. The new fuse is fine, but no matter what I do, I cannot get an amp reading.I USED to be able to get amp readings out of this when using it in series.I guess we can say this device is not foolproof :)I'm not sure I can get it returned as I did use the device incorrectly. Now I have to look for a more foolproof ammeter, that can withstand 12V and no load. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/48062960-draper-digital-multimeter-with-backlight](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/48062960-draper-digital-multimeter-with-backlight) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
