The only thing these are good for is producing lottery numbers.

i find that mine generates random numbers when teh batterys are dying or the fuse is about to give up the ghost!!

other than that i like mine!

I have had one for 4yrs and two meggers in that time, dilog 9083p does its job day after day. Brought it as a back up just in case but ended up using it all the time after my meggers were stollen. Continuity plays up when battery is very low and leads need changing a lot as are cheap, but for a cheap and chearful tester cant complain. Great for teaching the kids on as is stupid proof. I thought when i brought it it would last ayear if I was lucky and as it was cheap no hardship, but keeps on going straight through calibration always spot on. So for a cheap tester your on to a winner.

Thats all well and good chaps.
Used one recently and checked it against a Robin, the thing was erratic and up to 0.74 ohms out. Its gone back, again, for the last time.
