UPDATE: Want to see how the HT118E does with 1000 Volts! Of course you do..www.keepontesting.com/post/1000-volts-kaiweets-ht118e

I got a Habotest HT118e but, although it looks great and has some cool features like the big LCD, it is not good enough for electronics troubleshooting. Being Continuity and Diode functions separated, you have to keep cicling the button whenever measuring different components in a board. I miss my old Fluke in which you had just to switch to Resistance if you needed a more precise measurement. Couldn't they add both functions together or add the beep to the Diode function, eliminating OL (overload) that helps in nothing, so you could test continuity, diode, transistor, without changing the setup? Another annoying flaw is the dumb timer that is set to turn the meter off after a while, no matter if you are in the middle of a measurement. The Fluke used a smart timer that would start counting only when the meter was idle. Whenever you restarted using it , the timer would reset.

It's definitely not perfect but also 1/10 the price of a Fluke. Still, I agree it has some glaring shortcomings👍

I wish they added a "REL" feature. Something like longpressing the "HOLD" button would zero-out the resistance. Great review, especially the side-by-side teardown.

You don't mean 6 1/2, 7 1/2 or 8 1/2 digit meters instead? 20k (4 1/2 digits) count multimeter doesn't really sound like a metrology grade equipment cal device. And nevermind the accuracy and temp coefficient of the device. Of course unless you're calibrating one of those cheap power supplies with 10mV max sensitivity

I think you have an older model 118A. They did a revision where they basically fixed all those issues you mentioned with your 118A and made it more into an 118E. Mine has the better backlight, uses DC as standard instead of AC and the backlight switch instead of auto-off.

Kaiweets has evolutionized this multimeter from its less competitive ht118a where habotest had beaten it with their version, still would beat I guess if habo makes a ht118e.

How come this HT118E's capacitance (I think EEVblog likes this meter too) specifications starts with 20nF yet on another channel it was able to measure a value in the picoFarads (200pF in that channel)? Shouldn't it not be able to read something lower than 20nF and it'd just indicate OL or a similar reading? Can all multimeters w/ a capacitance function read lower or higher than their specifications including the beautiful, cool & amazing looking Habotest HT116 Smart multimeter (I love how I could long press the Auto red button and it'd go to Auto quickly so I can quickly switch to continuity with one hand or the usual DC voltage, resistance w/ one hand automagically as Steve Jobs would say.

Could you include estimates how long the battery will last when used for hours w/ the always ON and when it's just stored in your 2023 videos. Also include lower value capacitors in the picoFarads for your 2023 review, lastly perhaps you could do Part 2 or revision for all the past multimeters, especially your Zotek and the beautiful, amazing, so colorful HT116 either from Kaiweets or Habotest or GDA- I think Kaiweets is the father, since I think they started this cellphone looking cool multimters) The HT118E's capacitance specs: 20nF/200nF/2uF/20uF/200uF/2mF Also for 2023 as an evolution, modify all the multitesters (and variable power supply & scope and other electronic gadgets) to become better, modify proper shielding, modify to have true ground from the metal and knobs, modify subcomponents (LCD to OLED for the amazing, cool, stupendous HT116 :-) I'm glad I was freed from the dial rotary multitester- I hope Fluke makes a huge colored OLED or even better Colored e-Ink for outdoors and take notes from the amazing Kaiweets's innovations, so other branded, very durable brands like Sanwa & Brymen will take notice and so we'll have better displays in the 21st century). I got this mod idea from a channel who reviewed the amazing OLED soldering iron that's affordable- the KSGER brand (it has other names- rebrands), check their AliExpress official site. I highly, very hight recommend this soldering iron- buy their very stylish but very capable silver, very stylish 2 in 1 combo of the SMD hot air (it uses the hot air SMD recommended by EEvblog, whoever is the father manufacturer of that is a cool chinese company like DJI- a rarity in CCP CHN quality) w/ their KSGER soldering iron (buy the black and chrome stylish silicone cord soldering iron- uses Hakko genuine and Hakko clone tips- buy the more than 10 tips for cost-effectiveness but don't go beyond 350 Celsius especially for the bevel and chisel types, unless it's geniuine Hakko tips which can do up to 400C).

After the 3 years, I guess they expect you to throw the unit away if you blow a fuse.

I don't suppose there is any difference between the kaiweets or other brands that seem to be selling the same HT118E . I can safely assume they are all identical ?@@KeepOnTesting

I think a standalone LCR METER is best suited to that specific test environment. That would be something though !

The only ones that I know that do that are the old Amprobe 37 and 38's. I just use a B&K LCR meter. You need to specify the frequency anyway.

This is still the better deal but the Venlab is still a fantastic dmm if you don't need all the bells and whistles. 👍

Not a real upgrade for my HT118A. Only 20.000 counts instead of 6000. I would have seen 20A instead of 10A limit would be great for working on cars. Ill stick with my Habotest HT118A cheapo.

I use PCW02A. the manual says that the backlight only turns off after 10 seconds. it has to be turned off manually for me is it a mistake in the manual ?

Well that's a bonus! Later revisions enabled permanent backlight so you probably have a more recent version.
