Title: $8.00 Multimeter at High Sierra
Post by: Joe on May 17, 2013, 12:01:42 PM
Hello All

Just got a email from High Sierra they are having a sale on a small digital multimeter. They are $7.73 each plus shipping no sale code needed. They have been running daily Dayton deals.

I don't work for them just wanted to pass on for any one looking for a meter.

They sell them around here in bargain tool bins in auto/hardware stores.  $8-$10.  My biggest complaint is they have no weight (well, an ounce maybe) so they move around a lot with the slightest movement of the test leads.  Hard to fault them at that price though, and I've got one that has to be at least two years old and still works.

Harbor Freight held a sidewalk sale a few months ago and they had a pallet full of these meters for $2 each.......... I bought 10 of them. I gave one to my son, kept two of them for future projects then sold the rest at a hamfest for a profit.
