Detailed information
The IDEAL® Digital Multimeter (model 61-357) is designed for professionals who demand precision and reliability. Rated CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V, this auto-ranging, TRMS digital multimeter handles up to 10 Amps AC and DC current via the test leads in series with the load. It measures up to 1000V AC/DC, Lo Z (Low Impedance AC Voltage) to reduce the possibility of false readings due to ghost voltages, AC V, frequency, resistance up to 60MΩ, continuity, capacitance, and diodes, and even includes a K-Type thermocouple for temperature readings in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. Equipped with a non-contact voltage sensor, it detects voltage between 40V and 600V, ensuring safety and efficiency. The display offers both digital readouts and an analog bar graph, with a backlight for visibility in any environment. Audible tones and a red LED alert you to voltage above 30 volts, continuity, and NCV detection. For added convenience, the meter features two probe storage points and built-in holders, allowing for easy, one-handed operation. The hang strap mount lets you suspend the meter from various surfaces (Universal Magnetic Hanging Strap model UMHS-757 sold separately), while industrial-grade over-molding provides enhanced grip and 2 m drop protection. Additional features include HOLD, MIN/MAX, Relative, Range, and selectable Auto Power Off functions. The meter comes with three 1.5V AAA batteries and a fully accessible storage pouch with a belt loop, perfect for storing the meter, probes, and thermocouple. This is the ultimate tool for professionals who need a reliable, versatile, and easy-to-use multimeter.

Popular Mechanics

I would absolutely recommend these lever connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn’t seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove
