Linked!

i bought the same one from Meijers or some place like that for $12 or so... nice unit!

AC / DC amps, volts, resistance etc

good to have around for those who tinker around the house, on PC's, car audio, etc.

I bought one of these from them a few years back for $5 or so - works fine for testing out voltages on a PSU

 

[mikeford]

Are these online only or B&M?

 

[Gaorn]

i hope its B&M. shipping and handling makes it over 12 bucks to get it here

I bought two of these locally last year. They go on sale off and on all of the time. They're really nice. I took one to work and compared it to my friend's Fluke and the voltages were just as accurate. Of course, the Fluke has lots of bells and whistles, but I only needed to test voltages. Good buy IMO.

I saw this in the sales flyer for B&M. I already own two that I bought at $3.99 and they are decent units. This is definitely HOT!

thanx

Picked up one of these Monday and works really well, very pleased.

They also have the regular car creeper (not just the flaming one) for $17, and is comparable to the Craftsman ones which are several x the price.

wtf...shipping is $3 and handling is $6. $12 shipped to my place. I'll just buy this locally

I don't see the car creeper online... the best I see is for $30. Did you get one in-store?

Harbor freight rocks. I have this multimeter, hot deal. If you havent ever been inside this place and walked arround, give it a whirl. I swear by the cheap "Pittsburgh" tools. Never let me down. Just stay away from the tools made in Taiwan.

 

[mistertireguy]

if you print the page from the website their B&M stores will honor that price

I'm pretty sure the "Pittsburgh" tools are made in China...is that better than made in Taiwan?

I have this same meter. I haven't tested its accuracy against any higher-priced ones, but for small tasks it works just fine. I think I paid $10 or $12 for mine, so $3 is a steal! These things are made in China, btw., in case anyone was curious.

 

[PicPop]

Just wondering. How many EE ppl here at AT? Reply "EE" if you are.

Cool... Time to stock up for the physics lab. Cheap = good deal

 

[cookj]

Great buy, but it's no Fluke Harbor freight has some great deals on cheap stuff.

 

[DrPizza]

5.95 handling charge on all orders... regardless of the size of the order. So, order 10 of them and it's still only 5.95. Shipping is free on orders over 50.

I dropped by last night (I'd never been there). I saw they have Pittsburgh torque wrenches for less than $26. They're all made in Taiwan. I don't get it.

They had two bins of "7-function multi-meters" with different part numbers. Both were marked $9.99. One of the bins was empty.

No under car creepers in the store at all. It was a lot smaller than I expected.
