Hey guys, i'm looking for a cheap multi meter and i found like 2of them. One is a velleman dvm810 and the other is a a&d weighing ad-5526 multimeter. Now i think dvm810 is pretty good for 10 bucks. I probably won't use it that much. What do you guys recommend for a cheap value? Thanks for replies.

Re: need cheap multimeter...
Do you need it right away? If not, you can get some really good deals on ebay on non Fluke brands.Originally posted by r3m1x View Post
Recently, I lost on 2 separate ebay bids for name brand (not Fluke) True RMS multimeters. Both are around $100 new. The winning bids were $7.05 and $6.55 respectively.
Either one of the above is much better than the $10 options.
Look for names like Ideal, UEI, Greenlee, Amprobe, Meterman, Extech, and BK Precision. I managed to get a good Amprobe 15XP for 99 cents on ebay.
PS. I like Fluke multimeters and I have 2 of them, but they always sell for a premium (even used) and in some cases they are justified. Both my Flukes are used. I got the Fluke 75 for $20 and Fluke 12 for $30.Last edited by retiredcaps; 01-03-2012, 05:17 PM.--- begin sig file ---
