This isn't a tutorial how to use a THIS IS MOST OF THE ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ON PROPERLY HANDLING ELECTRICITY/ELECTRONICS AND I'M GRATEFUL BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS THIS.

[Beegs]

Seriously spent 2-years trying to figure this out as hobbiest. Much appreciated for making this!

[orbepa]

Loving you vids. I'm an IT guy and got into electrics a bit more recently since having solar panels. Now I am tinkering with changing lights etc in my workshop. Your series is brilliant for giving me the basics. I've now ordered a multimeter and bought your pdf - thank you

Hey Engineering Mindset. Just wanted to say I seriously love this video. I'm starting from the absolute beginning and your tutorial is easy to understand yet thorough. I was watching a tutorial from a different channel and I noticed the comments had some safety-related concerns so I searched again and found this. I feel like I'm learning an actual life skill. Not going to be an electrical engineer lol, but this will help to identify if* something is still live or reading correctly. Thank you all so much for making this

The absolute best instruction on a meter I've ever seen.

[benhurley]

This is gold! Would love a fault finding with a multi meter in a control panel video. Thanks for this video 👍🏻

[HearMeLearn]

bro this is like a masterclass level tutorial on how to use a multimeter, if I ever forget literally anything about them I can just look at this video

6:21 I worked as an electrician for several years, and i cannot understate how good of an advice that is

When it was first explained to me my reaction was 'oh, yea, that makes sense, why tf didnt i think of that before?'

[davyboy]

Very informative and easily understood for a novice like myself. The safty factors included are a great way to go..thanks.

[fonhollohan]

Finally, I found a tutorial that actually makes sense of how to use a multimeter. What a great tutorial I've watched several tutorials on multimeters and have found them difficult and confusing to understand but this tutorial is clear precise and easy to grasp, thank you so much for making this available. man you nailed it.

Safety tip: Always verify your metering setting before testing. I trash a meter about 30 years ago because I tested a 125 VAC while the meter was on VDC. My new meter that I had to go out and buy after that mistake has auto range and some protection features built in.

i am so happy you made this video. I'm a visual learner and the teacher wasn't showing us a single example for the entire 6 hr class. I was confused for so long on just trying to find the right signal to use

[Loeven]

An excellent tutorial! I do especially like the symbolic descriptions on how the components and circuitry works.
I´m mostly self taught and had snapped up bits and pieces here and there over a couple of decades, but always find it fun to repair electronics so a decent multimeter is essential. I own 4 at the moment for various use and/or ranges, both manual and automatic meters. Basically use them for voltage, ohms, capacitance, Hz or continuity.

[IamCurrentlyAscending]

I use mine to build guitar pedals and test components, but I don't do it often enough and I have to watch something like this again to remind me of all the settings again. This about covers everything I use it for.

[nefariousyawn]

YES. I just splurged on the fanciest multimeter that I have ever owned and was about to look for some video walkthroughs about what I can do with it. This Old Tony made a great video about them years ago, but it left me with more questions than answers.

[edy]

I have kaiweets multimeter good for a beginner and the accuracy is close to some of the fluke meter. This is a great video for anyone, getting into electrical and those who just need a refresh. Thanks!

[vamsikrishnareddynune]

A comprehensive and informative video on multimeters, Thank you!
I could recollect my early days with a multimeter where I connected the multimeter to an AC circuit in parallel for measuring current and had no clue why it got damaged.

[elka]

One of If not the greatest learning video on multi meter testing and fault finding.. brilliant and concise

[freestyla]

I learnt more from this video than I have from every other video I’ve watched on the subject.
