5 out of 5 stars Good deal   February 9, 2007

I'm a big fan of the high-end Flukes so I've worked with the best. Well, these defintitely aren't the best, but you can't beat what you get for the price. I got it for my brother for his car and it does the job well.

First, the bad:
1. No auto shut-off. You gotta make sure you turn it off or the battery will just keep draining away.
2. No auto-sensing. You gotta set the dial for the range you're looking for. But hey, I like it so much I don't care that I can't be so lazy.

And the good:
1. All the features. You get all the standards PLUS a tach and a dwell-meter! That'll about cover your carbureted cars.
2. Price. You can find multimeters that can't do the extras for the same price and even more. Great bargain.
3. Alligator clips. Simple things but it'd be a pain without them.

Plus, this thing will handle all the home electrical work.

As for the rest: I won't vouch for its durability but Actron is a decent company. They go towards affordable but not junky. The case is made of a light plastic, but it doesn't seem fragile. As for the tolerances, they're not bad:
DC Volts

Accuracy : ±(0.5% rdg + 5 dgts)
Range: 1000V

RPM
Range: 4CYL, 6CYL, 8CYL

Audible Continuity
Buzzer sounds at approximately less

So for the price, a good deal.

This will perform any test a neophyte electrician will do. The instruction manual is well written and understandable. Instructions provided for most ignition tests of classic cars and sensor testing of newer cars.


5 out of 5 stars way better than harbor freight's   November 28, 2008

bought for tachometer use
harbor freight version: take reading, multiply by 50 & divide by number of cylinders, i'm not joking! (had to call them this isn't in the manual) and it has a selector for cylinders.
actron version: multiply reading by 10
also includes manual on how to troubleshoot engine sensors. has been very helpful.
highly recommended for any shadetree mechanic!

My requirement is a hand held engine analyzer for ignition points
on a motorcycle engine. This tester meets all my requirements
for tuning a motorcycle engine and trouble shooting.
I recommend this instrument highly.
