Finally a tutorial on multimeters that I understand. SO many out there assume you know electrical terminology and symbols and get very confusing very fast. Your video is relevant for homeowners who just need to test common household things and understand the basics. Absolutely the best video I've seen and extremely helpful. Your closeups are perfect too.Thanks so much. I needed this.

Thank you for clearing up so many questions that I have had regarding basic electricity and multimeters! You did a fantastic job and I am very appreciative!

So many videos on YT that waffle on and never get the point, but this video nails it. Great introduction to DMM's along with some practical examples. Excellent work...thank you!

Exactly! I'm thumbing up and subscribing already. Great video.

I was at home Depot trying to ask an associate how a multimeter worked to be able to use it at home. They gave me an very ambiguous answer and was dissatisfied. After listening to several others trying to explain the multimeter I have to conclude that yours was the best! Your using 3 different models and explaining them really helps. Thanks.

From all the videos about basic multimeter tutorial...this is by far the most helpful. Well explained and with useful examples. Thank you.

Thank you,presenter. This is superb tutorial regarding multi-meter.

Thanks dude this was the most clear explanation I could find and now that multimeter won't just be collecting dust. Thanks again!!

Nice intro video, thanks. I always checked continuity by using the Ohm scale, learn something new every day! I don't know why anyone would dislike this video, good job.

Always wonder how I could test the bolts in my neck,thank you for explaining so clearly,very helpful

Just be careful to get the polarity right on your neck bolts. If you get it reversed your toes will curl every time you blink. You don't want to know what happens when you sneeze.

Love the way he made the video, and the tutorial very basic on learning basic multimeter for home. I dont own a multimeter so I'm running to get one. Great job buddy.

Thanks so much for the excellent detailed explanations, and for using actual real-life, at-home, examples. Easy to see, easy to understand. Super, super, job!

Bought my MMT few months ago n was intimidated by all its functions n the required reading of instruction manual. After viewing your video, it will DEFINITELY help in reading/understanding the manual n operating the meter. Your video explained in simple terms; some of its usefulness; n where to place most of the leads for testing. Saw some other videos that were too technical or confusing for this DIYer. Kudos to you n your video ! Looking forward to your next video.

Thank you, John for explaining this! Best explanation I've found. Keep up the great work!

This is the best MM video that I've seen yet on KZread! Thank you!

Awesome video! Very helpful with clear explanations and examples. I have that yellow multimeter, so this video was especially good for my situation. Thank you!

Very Excellent "Beginners Guide" to using a multimeter around one's home. I picked up a brand new multimeter at a rummage sale, and none of my friends new how to use it, even an auto mechanic. Now, through this video, I'll be able to test batteries, measure voltage in home electrical circuits, etc. Thanks for this great introductory video. 8.3.2017

Thanks, very well explained and addressed my curiosity i had over many years as to how does this works.

Great video! Thank you, and well done. Very much appreciated.

you did a good job showing basics in these meters.Thanks

Finely someone explain this Multimeter ! Thank you

Thanks, John, very very good, I appreciate the knowledge, I will put it to work.

Great video man . Thank you for all this info.

Thanks you just showed me how to chase down the problem with my rear window defogger went all winter trying to fix it and you fixed it in about ten minutes thanks again brother I can see where I've been what a man...

Thanks for a to-the-point explanation. This helped me a whole lot.

Very helpful easy to understand. Thanks a lot.

Very helpful, thank you.

A true professor style tuition . Thanks for this and God bless. Very helpful and clear.

Very simple to understand. Thank you,

Thank you. You made a very understandable, helpful video.

men you the best thanks for tha great video

Hey, great tutorial here! I didn't hear you mention this, but a topic you might cover for safety purposes is CAT rating for multimeters. Be mindful of the voltage and current limits of your meter as well as the size and type, and even the location, of the circuit you want to test. If there is no CAT rating printed somewhere on your meter it probably should be limited to CAT I circuits, which would be simple low voltage electronic circuits. CAT II, you can add household currents and voltages. CAT III is usually good for everything up to indoor commercial circuits 600V to 1000V, depending on the meter. And any outdoor circuits (which are inherently closer to the power source and thus more power potential) should only be tested with CAT IV meters.

I always wanted to learn to use a multi-meter.. Excellent teacher! Now I can!

Best video on multimeters that I have watched.

Best MM video I've seen. Thank you very much.

Thanks! that was very helpful. It is appreciated

great video and very well explained.thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the fantastic close up explanation of a multimeter. It really helped.

Thank you for your video. I was confuse on how to use a volt meter you def helped me a lot God bless and keep you video coming

For whatever foolish reason, where I'm from this basic stuff is not taught well at the university level but we students have to the multimeter during almost every physics practical. This was very helpful! So happy to be alive during a time in which typing 3 words will give me an amazing and highly explanatory video on whatever I need! I thankyou for this tutorial, it was very helpful for me, especially since my prac exams are coming up. Much respect, peace!

finally a simple tutorial, years of "yeah but" just went away. thank you!!!

Great tutorial!! Thank you

I’m echoing what so many people have said, by far the best video on using a multimeter. Some of them seem to overcomplicate what you made very simple indeed, and I now know for my purposes I need the two voltage readings and the continuous current. I doubt I will need the ohms though the information is useful for if I ever do need it. Einstein once said that a genius isn’t a man who understands a theory, but one that can explain it to the uninitiated.

Excellent video !!! very instructional for us neophytes !

Expertly done from our point of view. Thanks!

After watching this l feel like a pro . Thanks!😀👍

Great job in explaining the material.

Thanks for the tutorial.

That was very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial I now know how to use my harbor freight multi meter basic use

Great vedio. And good detaile. Thank you very much.

I don't know if my basic (VERY basic) multimeter will help me find the issue I'm having, but your tutorial was beautiful Thanks so much.

You are a lifesaver!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

You did a good job you explain pretty good thank you

Yes thank you for your note about 110v. I'm really tired of people calling it 110v instead of 120v. And don't get me started on 220v ;)

Thank you so much! I got my heat/ a/c fixed… I had a blown fuse in the breaker box… I’ve always been scared to mess with electrical stuff. I can work on almost anything else but I always had a fear of electrical… Thank you so much for this video.

Very true, it looks intimidating until you break it down and realize that most of the numbers are just different scales.

Thank you. excellent. I know need to look up how to test my lighting 4 lights on the back an intercom. Am definitely afraid of electricity, which is a good thing. Safety first

Very helpful, thank you!

thank you the info was great start.

I never knew how digital multimeters worked, you've giving better idea on working with these i will have to get one for the house.

Very helpful. Thanks. I have that same yellow meter and have been trying to figure out all the uses and how it works. .

Thanks for the information

Great video easy to understand

Great video. Thanks.

Definitely one of the best Multimeter tutorials available.

Thanks for this video.

hands down the best mm video out there....god bless...

Great video! Thank you.

Good lesson and a big thank you for passing on your skills.

Finally I found the Man who I was looking for to teach me how to use my yellow Digitmeter. Sir, you are an excellent teacher with lot's of knowlege that you are sharing here. I have lost hours looking for someone to teach me how to use this and the + and --- you made my DAY!! Question: Does the red wire + go into the bigger hole of an outlet or does it go into the smaller hole?

It makes no difference. With AC (alternating current) there is no positive or negative, so you'll get the same reading either way.

@@enduringcharm O.K. got it, Thank You for your quick response. There are times when I plug in my p.c. into an outlet and the charger gets very hot I mean really hot, am I doing something wrong?

@enduringcharm

5 жыл бұрын

Well, chargers for phones, laptops, etc., are just transformers which convert 120V AC electric into some form of DC electricity, typically. Some heat is normally associated with that process. However, if the transformer is getting scary-hot, then it may be time to replace it. You can buy generic chargers on the interweb. You'll need to know the plug style for the device side, and the specs from the side of the existing charger which should tell you voltage and amperage. It will say something like, Output: 12VDC 1000mA, except the numbers may be different.

Thanks so much John for info awesome

Very useful information. Thanks.

I have that exact same yellow one in your video I understand more now thanks but if you could show more uses for that yellow one would be great

Very well explained

Great explanation on how to use the multimeter. I finally understood someone on how to use it. you’re a great teacher 👨‍🏫. thank you. I learned the lesson.

Thank you so much. You explained it very well. I was taught how more diagnostic it is to use resistance to test continuity as compared to using the buzzer function because a higher than expected reading may indicate a deteriorating condition of the contact which may be caused by built up of oxidation which increases resistance. So a reading is good. It tells you something which deserve a further investigation. On the other hand, a buzzling sound only tells you a continuity - good or bad, it does not indicate.

Quite true, setting on the ohmmeter you get a value as well as testing continuity. On the other hand, there are times when you just need a yes/no answer if something is connected at all or not. There are times when you can't easily glance at the readout and having a beep or buzzer can make it easier to get your answer. Both meter settings have their place.

I know nothing about meters ... I'm going to get one and learn how to use it ... Good explanation... Thanks

Extremely helpful video. Thank you very much!!

Great Video for beginners

Enjoyed it , great tutorial.

Ooop,heading over to harbor freight for that meter,lol..thx for this simple tutorial professor
