Can you describe what are the different between brand which is more expensive ?
There are a lot of model , what is the different in model ? having extra function to test AC/DC accurate ? I prefer digital.

Do I need a separate model to test
-PC motherboard
-Fixing Phone
and etc as above?
:confuse:

Sorry for all those who reply in my thread.I though of buying one As for Starter who try to learn electronic but previously went back to work , doesn't have time.Now going to mco or work from home again so i have time study a bit more.

About the Budget Below RM150 ? because I really don't know the real pricing for multimeter

Reason on buying , i repeat.
-As starter or beginner learning electronic
-Want to test all my old AA or AAA battery whether which one I should throw.
-Trying to identified which part of Old spoil Motherboard/Printer/Scanner/LCD monitor and keyboard which have double tab issue.If possible ( want to revive old spoil hardware) by replacing the parts.
-Want to learn on fixing old Mobile phone which does not detect sims card , screen crack , brick and etc.Maybe need a learn soldering technical part.
-Fix old digital watch and analog clock not running.
-Fixing and testing Electronic application like Thermo Pot cannot pump water.

Not going for car battery , start with beginner multimeter first.

So which brand one do you suggest and the price ? My budget max rm200.I am not sure the actual price as mention.That is the above requirement i need for multimeter.Mostly , is to identified what is spoil in the blueprint diagram and try to find a replacement.

uni-t multimeter quite good for hobbyist.. i bought 2 few years ago. 1 with clamp meter, 1 with extra temperature meter feature. no need fluke it gets the job done for me every single time until now. everyday use since almost everyday repair smps. also u may need both digital and analog multimeter since both have different working internal and may be useful in different testing situation. and the cheap china transistor tester also. not perfect but still very useful.

Everyday repairing switching power supply? Expensive types? I normally throw & replaced

yes. works related. from cheap to expensive all coming in. if too complex may be take few days just to repair one, is possible. and i only use all those cheap testing tools eventough i have my fluke and my peak atlas rarely used. other such as power supply bench, soldering station and hot air station of course use the expensive one.

Using this.

Wah flexing. this for work?

Also don't forget to pay attention to the protection limit of the DMM, as indicated by CAT I follow by voltage number.  This CAT number indicate the amount of impulse that the DMM is designed for and you need to make sure you don't poke at area it is not capable of measuring.

E.g A CAT I 1kV DMM does not mean it can measure any kind of 1000V. It means it is only able to measure 1kV on a non-mains isolated circuit. You will need a CAT II instrument in order to do it on mains circuit. Go look up Measurement Category.

Protection limit is just as important as other characteristic, so remember that.

Yup ... comp bagi one ... using it for some year now ... change batt once ...

Build like a tank, work like a charm.

sis u know a lot electrical thing also

CAT include the body itself and probe?
