As the mountain of devices behind you grows, I fear one day there will be an avalanche....
LOL - Yes I do need to find time to reorganize. It has been so crazy busy but I will find time to rebuild my bench;)
Hi Eddie, excellent review. Thank you. 😀👍
Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you!
1:00 Sounds similar.😊I purchased a separate inexpensive meter for my car. I got tired of mom calling me when I was at work needing me to check on some electrical device and I did not have a meter with me and mom was much closer to my work than my house.
LOL - I know what you mean. It is also rewarding to be able to actually be able to help;)
Good video Buddy!! I still have the Siglent Function generator you donated !! Never letting that go !
Thanks Jason! I'm glad your new channel is going well;)
I like that outlet tester! A 'must have'..
Yes - I agree - especially for the cost. Quick way to check receptacles.
As always thanks for the informative Video
Thanks so much!
Those look like excellent meters.
Thanks Tron!
I purchased a km601s. I found that the DC mA measurement has polar difference for small current testing (i.e. under 0.010mA or less), the negative reading is much less than positive if I swap the leads. Is that a problem?
Sure, I'm always interested in another meter for my cars, shed, and workshop. I love the Astros which seem very similar to the Kaiweets. Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback. Yes the Astros are another great meter. I find that the Kaiweets have that more rugged feel, but both great meters.
@@KissAnalog Aha I'll have a look at the Astros, new to me...
New to the channel. Great video. The 118E is probably the most popular. I also leave the screen protector on things as long as it lasts to protect the screens. Kaiweets is definitely getting popular with their great quality products. Hopefully will replace my old old analog one lol. New subscriber btw. 👍
Thanks so much - and I agree with you;)
I have that next up socket tester, HT106B. It adds a voltage display (xxx.x), a GFCI test button and an LED that I've never seen on. It's labeled "I∆n > 5mA". I've lost the manual so I can't definitely say what that test is.
Personally I prefer the smaller testers because this one takes up both sockets in a duplex. You can't plug it in if something else is already plugged into just one of the 2 sockets.
Thanks for the info! I'd like to get one to see how it works. The leakage current measurement is a great addition.
I just purchased a set of their test leads to add to my collection. I did not have enough small probes and hopefully the plastic case means most of the test leads will stay in one place that I can find.
Thanks - great point! I love having a case for these probes. Now I hope to find them without calling a search party:)
That was a very authoritative review. I rather like those meters.
Thanks so much! Did you see this video I just posted on the CE mark? Kaiweets HT118 Multimeter Certified - CE Safety mark for Certification not for Chinese Export

Great review! You need to switch from "NCU" to "Live" with the select button to use the live function properly
Thanks for the great feedback!!
Was wondering if the measurement variances in temperature follows the meter or the probe?
Great question! I think it followed the meter but would have to watch the video to be sure. But they seemed to be within tolerance.
How did I miss this video haha. I have a kaiweets ht208d clamp meter that I'd never part with
Thank you! That is a great meter. I have to keep mine as well;) But I have some other clamp meters of theirs that I will giveaway after doing a shoot out;)
I have uei multimeter they are more for hvacr techs. I never tried kaiweets multimeters. They must be good since you reviewed quite a few of them.
Thanks for reminding me - I do need to review the uei meter that I have. Great meter!
Just discovered your channel. Great review! Would love to have a new meter. These kaiweets are really cool! I’m subscribing! I tried to find your email, but couldn’t.😬
Thanks - send me an email about the Kaiweets Meter giveaway;)
I can't remember the last time I needed to "Accurately" measure a micro-voltage, or milli-voltage, or current or resistance. Let alone, with a hand-held meter. As a side note, reminds me of the days when "High Fidelity" was coming of age with audio solid state power amps and receivers. The audio distortion specs on that equipment were far better than human hearing would ever be. It's referred to as the THD wars. We end up paying for "Specs" and "Functionality", that we don't need, or we will never, if rarely, use. Like having a 20K count meter, where the last digit is .2 accuracy +- 15 digits. It's crazy, no one will ever use that or need it. Fluke knows that 6K is just fine for everyday use. Adding a "High Res 20K" option is just a way for Fluke to conform to the market trend. 95% of Fluke users don't use, and don't need 20K resolution.
Thanks for your feedback - and I agree with so much of what you said. However, so many people will ask what the accuracy is.
How many times do we care about any number past the the first number after the decimal point? But I do have to say I don't agree with the reason Fluke makes this an option.
I think you are talking about the 87 which is a 20 + year old design. The meter is slower in high count mode - and so are some others. But Fluke was billing the 87 as a high accuracy meter so how can it be if it is only 6k count? So, they had to add the higher count.
Engineers like myself need a high count meter at times when performing design verification testing. Yes, bench meters were commonly used for that - and still are - but hand held meters are so good these days with high count and wide bandwidth - they can do far more than they could 20 years ago.
The 87 has always cost much more than the competition. Today - that meter is showing its age and is not worth half the money that it sells for - IMHO;)
@@KissAnalog - Thanks for that Feedback, I respect point, but my objective was to bring attention to the question, just how accurate of a meter do we "really" need? Yes, EE during designing is fine tuning inspection, but I feel 95% of users, do not need, and will not use the available accuracy. But they pay for it. It makes most users, sort of, pseudo-engineers. It's more marketing, than it is necessitating.
Great comparisons. Keep me in mind if you are giving anything away. Thanks
Sure thing! Thanks
what is your suggestion for a DYI beginner multi-meter?
I think the Kaiweets HT118E is hard to beat at the price (use KA15 for 15% discount at the Kaiweets store), but I did this video for an amazing meter at a fantastic price: czcams.com/video/aNaB0UxbcM0/video.html
@@KissAnalog Sweet! Thank you for the feedback!!!!!
Just ordered the Kaweets
I just purchased one of their KM117B outlet testers that was mentioned, and was very disappointed with Kaiweets calibration and quality control. I wasn't expecting perfection for 20$ , but the line voltage reading was about 11 volts lower than the same outlet tested with a Fluke 87-V, a 189, and a Keysight U1232A. That's about 9% error, and makes it pretty useless for diagnostic testing. It's going back. Not recommended! I also bought one of their smartmeters previously, the KM601, and was not impressed with the calibration and accuracy on that meter either. It was just barely in spec or slightly out on the DC volt ranges and about 1.5% out (low) on AC at line voltage. This is compared to a recently caled HP 3457A and a Keithley 196. It has a nice display though. I'm beginning to think the only Kaiweets meters that get a proper cal and decent QC are those sent out for review.
Thanks for your feedback! Boy - you have had some bad luck! I haven't heard of this problem before. Also Amazon feedback has been good.
I live in New York , not overseas.
Thanks - I plan to do another giveaway this April;)
Kaiweets meters are pretty sweet, but the leads are pretty trash in my opinion (conductivity low).
Thanks for your feedback! Sometimes I find a residue left on the tip leads and cleaning with rubbing alcohol seems to work.
No glop tops either
Yes great point!
HI , Im working with a charity fixing electronics , i would be , and Action Lesotho very grateful if you could help us with something small , set of pliers , old oscilloscope (broken even ) great content thank you keep um coming! thanks
Bitte nur in Deutsch.
LOL - I wish I could;)
