Like he said. Plus, if you're going to buy a meter from HF, why spend more than 3.99? It's the same badness either way.
For a analysis project, I had to monitor several points in a circuit while underway. Bought a bevy of cheap red meters at HF. Had to disassemble and fix 4 of 6 because of the ball detents not being assembled correctly. One didn't power up at all, so it went back. Got thru the project, and just pitched them.
A friend asked me to help troubleshoot an old British car electrical problem. While questioning the accuracy of certain measurements, I asked what kind of meter he was using... HF. The price? $1.99. Nothing like checking out a crap electrical system with a crap meter...
