The CAT rating is a safety specification, not a quality grade · review
A basic manual-ranging meter covering voltage, DC current, resistance, continuity, battery and diode tests, with a 2.7-inch backlit screen and a fold-out stand.
What the figures leave us with A big screen and a full function list at eleven euros, with the safety specification left out. Keep it for low-voltage work.
A lot of functions, a big screen, and one specification missing.
AC and DC voltage, DC current, resistance, continuity, battery testing and diode or transistor P-N junction testing. Overload protection, stated for safe and accurate fault-finding on a range of electrical problems including automotive. A 2.7-inch backlit LCD with data hold. A protective orange case with a built-in fold-out stand.
Every multimeter carries a measurement category and a voltage — CAT II 600 V, CAT III 600 V, and so on — describing the transient energy it is built to survive at a given point in an installation. It is not a quality grade; it is a safety rating. It does not appear here.
Of the five multimeters in this hub, only one states a category at all. That is a finding about the category as sold, not about this meter in particular, and it is the reason to read the manual before the listing.
A meter lying flat on a bench is a meter being read at an angle, and a meter propped against something is a meter that falls over mid-measurement. A stand is a two-cent molding that changes how the tool is used.
Catalogued and unsold: the American Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.

None appears in the listing. The category — CAT II, III or IV with a voltage — is the specification describing the transient energy an instrument is built to survive, and it is a safety statement. We do not infer one. Read the manual supplied with the meter and follow it.
The listing does not say so, which means it is an averaging meter. On a clean mains sine wave that is fine; on the distorted waveform of a dimmer, an inverter or a variable-speed drive, an averaging meter reads low.
Checking the P-N junctions of a transistor for continuity and polarity. It is an electronics-bench function that has largely disappeared from meters at this price.
7.0/ 10
A big screen and a full function list at eleven euros, with the safety specification left out. Keep it for low-voltage work.
A reference exists on these Amazon stores: Germany, United Kingdom, United States. Listed is not the same as in stock — availability changes daily.
Details checked on August 31, 2026.
Bench and automotive fault-finding at low voltage, where the reading is a presence check rather than a value.
Listed because the accessory names this instrument itself.
Amazon reports what buyers took in the month before this page was last checked: at least 1,000.
The figure is a floor, rounded by Amazon, and read through Keepa — it says what buyers picked, not what a maker claims.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for measuring instruments and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
True RMS · 6000 counts · 600 V · temperature, capacitance and frequency
A true-RMS meter with 6000-count resolution and a wide function list — voltage, current, resistance, temperature, diode, continuity, capacitance and frequency — with probe caps included.
Best for: Household and light installation work where waveforms are not clean and the reading has to be right.
19 RANGES, the only range count published on this shelf · 10 MΩ input impedance, stated for automotive computer circuits · automatic POLARITY sensing · automatic zero on volts, amps and battery tests · battery tests at 1.5, 9 and 12 V · the ONLY meter on this shelf sold WITHOUT its battery · NO measurement category
An automotive meter built around the one specification car electronics actually need — a 10 MΩ input impedance.
Best for: Car and bench electrical diagnosis, where the circuits are 12 V and the sensors must not be loaded by the meter
≈ $11
AC/DC voltage · DC current · resistance · diode · double ceramic fuse
A compact meter whose distinguishing specification is its protection: a double ceramic fuse stated as flame-retardant, plus a silicone sleeve, at fourteen euros.
Best for: A first multimeter for household and hobby electronics, chosen for its fusing rather than its features.
