Thanks! Nice spot!
The normal price for this multimeter is £5, and not £99.98 as Maplin's website pretends...0 -

Once again....there's no buzzer (for audible continuity testing), but that aside you can still do continuity testing....just no buzzer! Re insulation testing...I doubt it!0 -
For £2.97 stonking good deal, just been down to the local store and bought two, they are in the clearance section labelled was £14.99 now only £2.97.
Not as robust as a fluke or tectronix but then doesn't come with a £200 price tag either. However a lot more robust than the usual wallet type ones or the hard plastic ones.
Thanks to the OP.0 -
These look pretty good for the price, I paid £3.05 ex VAT for a Rapid 212 multimeter a few weeks ago and that's the cheapest one they sell (now £5.50, strangely enough).
