Looking for a multimeter?
Decided I'd pass this deal on. It's not a bad unit at all.
$14 free shipping. https://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.619 |
Capacitor and transistor tester in a $14 unit? Nice!

I don't think it tests capacitors, but the $5 (sometimes on sale for $3) Harbor Freight cheapest multimeter does test transistors:

snicker, i wouldnt trust it... for small battery powered circuits and such yea fine (prolly not that accurate) but id be weary of any amperage measurements...
just cuz it can test a buncha stuff doesnt mean it should :P |
I'm still running a Heathkit multimeter I made in the 80s. Been a while since I checked it against another to see if it's accurate.

I've had a few of the $5 multimeter for a long time now (before I even knew you could get it for $5 at Harbor Freight). It's as accurate for measuring resistance, AC voltage, and DC voltage as the $25 basic multimeter I bought from Radio Shack. I can't say that I've bothered with its lame current-measuring ability, which can only handle very small DC current and no AC current.
I've never needed to test a transistor, but based on its performance in resistance and voltage, I imagine it would suffice for that too. I had to google the $14 meter to see its specifications, here's an excerpt: Quote:
