If anyone wanna learn how to use a multimeter, this is the only video I'd recommend. You even went over and beyond with the cheatsheet, I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Totally agree. But the only function you ever use is voltage and continuity to check power and fuse. Everything else you never use.

This was an excellent video for a beginner and I’m not a beginner and I still found it excellent and as a refresher. As I work in the field for industrial process engineering and this was quite helpful. Even saved it to my own playlist for quick reference look up when I need to find it.

Most excellent video. I've been using meters for 35 years and spent a lot of time learning to use them. Wish it only took me 12 minutes to learn how to fully understand all the fetchers

Great video. Packed with facts and information. I like that there is no unnecessary talking and no wasted time. Thanks!!

well spoken.... I've watched so many videos and left still not understanding how to use a voltmeter but you explained everything in a simple understandable way ... thank you ... I now completely understand how to use this...

Thank you very much for translating the complex symbols of multimeters, which rarely if ever have instructions on using their functions. I cannot express how much I appreciate this video as an untrained farm/garage fix it myself guy.

What a great tutorial. Some people have a gift when it comes to teaching. You certainly have this gift. Hands down, the best tutorial I've seen on this topic.

Excellent Tutorial, Thank you so much. I’m a repair mechanic and you taught me things. God Bless you for taking the Time . 🙏

you just made a 'complicated' device seem so very simple, thank you.

This was the absolute BEST explaining video I have watched. Extremely easy to understand - even for me that have more or less no clue what-so-ever about electricity. Now I know how to measure electricity for home use. Thank you so much for a very good video !! Respect.

Cheap meters can tell you something, if you know their limitations. I have a nice fluke at woek and at the home shop ,but i got a couple The harbor freight freebies at the house. Sure ,the fluke tells me the outlet has 121 volts ac ,and the harbor freight one says 130. When i turn the power off to replace the outlet ,they both read zero. Not so worried about accuracy with that ,just if its safe being on or off. Still works fine for checking the occasional suspected dead battery for the remote and things like that.

@@MrTheHillfolk I agree. I thought of getting a Fluke but realized for home repairs an el cheapo meter works fine. It only has basic functions with cheap build quality but I only ever use voltage and continuity to check batteries and blown fuses and never found a use for all the other functions. For professionals and electronics enthusiasts a Fluke is worth it for measurement confidence and circuit protection but otherwise these harbour freight meters are awesome.

​​@@jonfreeman9682to be honest, I'm not that impressed with a fluke, being that I work outside all the time as soon as it gets one raindrop on it, DC volts goes thru the roof. 16v on a 12v system? Nope. Pop the battery out and set it on the trucks defroster for 45 minutes and it'll be fine. It's a real headache and a hassle. Save your money.

Congrats. This is by FAR the best introductory video I have ever seen regarding the subject at hand. You are a blessing kind Sir!

This is the BEST video I have found explaining all the options on a Multimeter. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your thorough explanation of the multimeter. I've been using multimeters for years and I have always tested for continuity with the ohm setting. I never realized there was a continuity setting. And I always wondered what that symbol meant. And most of the time when I'm thinking I want to check homes. I want you actually check continuity. So thank you once again. Great job!

Best lesson of it's kind I have ever seen, very well done!

This is the most comprehensive and education video on multimeter I came across on KZread. Thank you

😊 I watched many videos on how to use a multimeter. Your video is by far the best one I see. Also, you have the attributes and skills of great teachers. Well done. 😊

Best overview of multimeters I've seen to date. Very nice!

Thank You James, now I know how to use & measure with my high-dollar multimeter I scored @ a yard sale. This is what I would call a down & dirty video on how to use & master your Multimeter in under 13 minutes. No B-S, just information you can use, and be confident in using you miltimeter for an intended purpose as needed. Your a great teacher James.

I just watched the only multimeter video I've actually understood. Thanks.

That's pretty thorough and amazing. Multimeters have always intimidated me. Not anymore! Thank you.

Great vid. I've been using Multi meters for basic stuff for years but never knew what 2/3 of the other functions were.

I started your content by watching the resistor video. I was blown away at how helpful it was. I subscribed to your channel on that video alone and then watched this one. HOLY COW bro!! Such great content!! Maybe I end up commenting on every video. I don’t know, but so far, with two videos down, I am super impressed with how helpful, concise, and well presented your content is. I have used multi meters before for the VERY basic functions and have even watched a couple of other videos here and there to try and figure out the other features. But this videos is by far the BEST. Thank you for the information and the time it took to put this together. It does not go unnoticed and is very appreciated

@@kevinlawes591 before you take a resistance measurement, you should touch the ends of the probes together and note the resistance without measuring any component. This number should be subtracted from whatever you're measuring. The leads and probes have resistance of their own, but the meter doesn't know what this is and just sees the leads and probes as part of the measurement.

@thecrapadventuresofchesimo420

@kevinlawes591 when measuring a diode, the number displayed is the forward bias voltage (the voltage required to turn the diode "on") you can use this to calculate parameters for other components, eg the resistor for an LED etc
