I have one high quality Digital Multimeter, with easy-read blue
backlight,
still left for sale.

This is an excellent quality digital multimeter, brand new still in
the
box,
with more features than most popular digital multimeters on the
market
today!

Specs are as follows:

Handheld Digital Multimeter for measuring AC and DC voltage, DC
current,
Resistance, Diode and PNP and NPN Transistor Tester
Bright Blue Backlight - very easy to read large digital display
Thick yellow rubber casing protects meter from splashes and bumps
Test Leads and 9V Battery are included
Low power requirement with automatic power off
Data hold function
Continuity beeper

Measurement Specifications:

DC Voltage: 200mV/2V/20V/200V ±0.5%, 600V ±0.8%
AC Voltage: 200V/600V ±1.2%
DC Current: 200?A/2mA/20mA ±1%, 200mA ±1.5%, 10A ±3%
Resistance: 200?/2K?/20K?/200K?/2M? ±0.8%
Display: LCD, 1999 counts
Fuse protection: F-200mA/250V
Operating Temperatu -0C to 40C
Overrange Indication: Only figure "1" on the display
Polarity Indication: "-" displayed for negative polarity
Low Battery Indication: - /+ display
Flip-out stand angles meter for ease of use in any location
Battery: 9V, Included
Dimensions: 138mm x 69mm x 31mm
Weight: ~160g

Meter is brand new in the box, and includes:

1 - Digital Multimeter with Backlight
1 - Instruction Manual
1 - Set of Test Leads
1 - 9V Battery

Photo (.jpg format) available upon request.

This is an exceptional value in a high quality digital multimeter,
ideal for electronic troubleshooting and repair work, available
for only $ 25.00 plus $ 6.00 shipping (Cont'l U.S. only).

Makes me wonder. I keep reading the words "high quality" and
"exceptional
value," but the fact that nowhere do you give a brand or a model, makes
me
REALLY skeptical...

I was also skeptical, until I used this meter and compared it's features,
WHAT METER?

it's quality, and it's measurement accuracy with my Fluke Model 23
Series III digital multimeter, and my Tektronix Model DMM247 digital
multimeter.

I'm no longer skeptical. You may wish to try one yourself in order to
form an informed opinion.


WHAT IS THE MAKE AND MODEL? As long as you fail to include
this minimal information, it is just a junk of chinese noname garbage.

Hint: we don't believe you when you say it is better than a fluke.
And BTW, its specs suck. 1% to 6% accuracy? Give me a break. It might
as
well be a 2 digit meter. Reminds me a sinclair LED meter from the 70's.
The last digit is just noise.

What you choose to believe appears to be based upon an uninformed
opinion (unless you've personally tested and evaluated this meter, and
compared features,quality, and price with either a Fluke or a Tektronix
multimeter).

oh, you poor poor baby.

In order to formulate an informed opinion, rather than spewing forth an
uninformed opinion as you have, the make of this meter is XILE, and the
Model is XL830L. It is not a Fluke or a Tektronix meter, nor is it's price
that of a Fluke or a Tektronix multimeter.

That wasn't so hard. Why did didn't you post it in the first place,
or in the second place, or in the third place?

That wasn't so hard. Why did didn't you post it in the first place,

I didn't realize that you were familiar with the brand "XILE", or with their
"XILE Model XL830L" multimeter. But since you asked, I answered your
question promptly, and properly.

Interestingly, the XILE Model XL830L multimeter is also "CE Certified".

"CE" stands for "Conformité Européenne" which is French for "European
Conformity". When the "CE" symbol is affixed to a product (as it is to the
XILE Model XL830L multimeter) it is the manufacturer's declaration that
the product conforms to the essential requirements of all European
directives.
These essential requirements would include Safety, public health, Electro-
magnetic Compatibility, and consumer protection, among other things.

But you're probably familiar enough with the XILE Model XL830L multimeter
to have known that it's CE Certified.

I got some hits for XILE on the chinese crap importation websites.
Nothing for that meter, unsurprisingly.

He told me I needed a better search engine. There are no results on
any search I used other than his posts.

Selling for $18. I sure wish I could find somebody who could charge me
$25 instead. I'd be able to get that special feeling of pride that comes
from having spent too much.

Thank you for generating so much interest; it looks like I'll now have to at
least
double my reorder for more of these multimeters.

Did you happen to see what they charge to ship one multimeter from Singapore
to the U.S.? Their lowest shipping rate shown for that meter shipped to the
U.S.
is $ 16.05 for "Speedpost" Standard Air Courier, with delivery in 7 to 12
business days.

So let's see, they charge you $ 18.52 for the meter, and $ 16.05 to ship it
from SIngapore to the U.S., with delivery in 7 to 12 business days, with no
mention anywhere of any package tracking from Singapore.

Seems to me your total cost from them is $ 34.57 .... which is $ 3.57 more
than your total cost would have been from me, with Priority Mail shipping,
including Delivery Confirmation and a tracking number, and delivery to any
U.S. address within 2 -3 business days.

Do the math, then let me know how many meters you'd like to order before
I place my next order. With the sudden popularity of this meter, I'll even
offer
the very same percentage "quantity discount" they're offering, plus, I'll
discount
shipping charges on multiple units shipped to you at the same time.

How many would you like to order?
