Thanks for the demonstration. You have really made the use of multimeter easy to understand. I now know how to use a multimeter. I am watching from Lagos, Nigeria.

Great job on the video! I'm a carpenter working on my knowledge and slight fear of electricity. This helps me out immensely. I saved this vid for each time I will need to use the meter. 😉
Thanks again! ⚡️

Using the probes in one hand is annoyingly difficult to get them where they need to be. The manufacturers should make some sort of hinged adjustable magnetic joiner for the probes to hold their position in relation to each other and the target to measure.

So you also could measure amps of 110V or 220V devices with the 10A setting as long as the device draws 10A or less?
Also, what is the diameter of the banana plugs to replace the cheap probes it comes with (because this looks like every cheap multimeter I've ever owned)?
