Multi Meter Is Jack Of All Trades – Possibly Master Of None
By Andrew Liszewski
Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of multi tools. It’s just that sometimes when you cram too many functions into a single tool the whole doesn’t necessarily equal the sum of its parts. This Multi Meter though seems to strike a nice balance. It’s primarily designed as a metal detector for locating metal objects behind walls but it also includes a laser and spirit level plus a whole list of other capabilities:
- Locates concealed AC power cables
- Locates concealed metal objects like pipes, nails, screws, cables etc
- Incorporates a Laser Level
- Incorporates a Spirit Level
- Incorporates a ‘white-light’ LED Torch
- Tests Light Bulbs including fluorescent and incandescent bulbs/tubes
- Tests Cartridge Fuses, Diodes, Capacitors, Heating Elements etc
- Locates breaks in an AC power cable
- Checks polarity on two cable (no earth) AC appliances
- Incorporates a ‘self-test’ battery check for added safety and piece of mind
It’s currently available from BoysStuff.co.uk for about $36 but I’m pretty sure it will work just as well for any of our female readers.
