dangerous brain Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hey guys. I've got an electrical problem on my car somewhere that's frying my ECU. I've got a multitude of cheap crappy multi meters that are fine for general prodding about but the leads are crap. They are too short and the probe pieces keep pulling out rendering the probe useless and unfixeable. Rather than just go out and buy yet another cheap naff multimeter I'd like to buy one with croc clips, decent leads, and fine probe attachments to insert into small plugs. Anybody got any suggestions? We use the big professional flukes at work but they are mega expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Get a medium price meter and a decent lead set from RS or Fluke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Any particular make or model that stands out as decent value for money with good functions? There's a multitude of meters available in the £30-£80 bracket that I'd look in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a multitude of meters available in the £30-£80 bracket that I'd look in. most £30 meters are good enough for the job and some already come with croc leads as an accesory. id recomend popping to your local motor factors and asking them for a perhaps sealey automotive meter, and they can open the box and tell you if the croc clips are in there, if not they may throw them in. dont go to halfords or anywhere, youll pay too much. jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 OK cheers dudes. If I don't get any advice to the contrary I will go with a name I know and get a fluke with accessories from fleabay like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FLUKE-179-DIGITAL-MULTIMETER-WITH-TEMPERATURE-PROBE-VGC_W0QQitemZ170318772520QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET?hash=item170318772520&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
