Extech 380460 Precision 110VAC Milliohm Meter

Why would anyone need a milliohm meter? Vaping! With this, you can tell exactly how much resistance you have in your coil, how much loss you get through your connector, which battery springs can really deliver current, etc. Does that expensive plating really do anything? Now you can know. Sure, this is expensive for an end user, but for the mod maker or the truly passionate, this thing is awesome.

Easy to use. Stable readings. When bench tested against precision resistances, accuracy was within spec.Does what it says it will do. Good value for a new instrument compared to competitive product out there.

Owned unit for approximately 1 year, used about six times. Took to shop for annual calibration, shop had difficulties contacting manufacture for tech data to complete calibration, thus unable to calibrate unit. Will not by buying the brand again, will try to find the closest American made brand.

Dead on arrival after terrible amazon locker experience that took several hours and days to get released from locker

1st one arrived dead, yet had the quality inspection sticker on it.2nd one arrived in working order. A little more complicated to use than normal multi-meters, much more bulky, and makes a god-awful screeching noise when test is initiated and finished. You have to disassemble it and remove the speaker from the board to make that stop.Also, a simply 2-wire operation feature would be appreciated instead of having to jump out some of the ports/leads. The provided leads are only the alligator clip type, and not the needle type.

We've had at least two of these in the past. If the lead assemblies are as shown in the picture (held together with an elastomeric tube in the middle), they are terrible leads, inappropriate for the price of the instrument. Wire is soldered into the handles in such a way that the connection recurrently becomes poor and fails over time, but one may not realize for a little while that the issue with bad readings is with the solder joint going bad and not with the parts you are measuring. The more recent unit we purchased had much improved leads. Aside from the leads, calibration costs are quite high, close to that of a new instrument, and we found the most recent unit we received went out of calibration somewhat quickly.
