Has anyone here used either of these two devices? If you have can you comment on the quality, usability, battery life and accuracy.

Not sure about those. But I have an old Tenma DMM that works well. They've been around awhile. Their new DMMs with rs232 are optical. Here's a less expensive one..

When it comes to meters, you almost always get what you pay for. I'm currently in the process of reviewing ten low cost meters, but not either of those unfortunatetly. Out of those two I'd go for the Uni-T, at least it's a known brand.

Any 4.5 digit meters?

Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply indicates you are not using the right tools... nico@nctdevpuntnl (punt=.) --------------------------------------------------------------
