" ...  The Neoteck seemed to have everything I was looking for, and I liked the feature of the extra alligator clip probes at an amazingly low price.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The addition of the set of leads with clips,is welcome and provides a means of attaching leads to hard to get to places.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Works great until you need to use more advanced functions.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The auto-ranging capability is nice, although all it really does is minimize the number of switch positions needed since you generally know the order of magnitude of whatever you're measuring.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I like the auto turn off feature as I sometimes forget to turn off machine, I like that it arrived with protective rubber bumpers to shield pointy metal parts. ... In low light conditions, I enjou the back luight feature.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The features I love are it's an auto-ranging meter so no fiddling with ranges on the dial, you can have the leads crossed and it indicates a negative value. ... It has an audible continuity check that you can turn on or off, and a back light you can turn off and on.  ...  "

" ...  The big clips were my preference, and they work well.  ...  "
comment
" ...  One of the reasons I bought it was because it came with alligator clips (I didn't want to buy $5-$10 clips for my $4 meter, so I figured I would just upgrade a bit and kill two birds with one stone). ... The clips were perfect for what I needed (they were a bit bigger than I expected, though--I doubt they would work well for smaller projects), the meter worked very well, and the auto-ranging feature was really nice.  ...  "
