Newell Gurus

I ran across this DVM in Lowes the other day for 120 bucks. I know it's not a Fluke, but it does have AC and DC current sensing which is unusual for a meter of this price. It also has a temp sensor probe. And the ability to measure capacitors (i.e. motor start caps), and diodes.

Although I have (wait I ain't tellin the actual number) of voltmeters, I didn't have one with DC current. So, of course it made it's way into the buggy.  I thought this was a really neat tool to keep on the Newell.

I actually have 3 DVMs that have current sensing. 1 with AC only, then bought 1 with AC/DC current when I installed the LiFPO3s. Thought I lost it and bought another one. But I'm cheaper than you and bought mine on Amazon for $40. I also have a couple Fluke DVMS.
Can't have too many cool tools....

I purchased one of these a few years ago after using one at a seminar;

Best price I found was $128.00; http://shop.pkys.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-81..._1695.html

It was very handy finding the problem in the Switch when I had the trouble with my Jacobs Brake. Not sure who makes it for them but it lives at the Newell.

I have used several of the Blue Sea digital DC meters and found them to be very dependable.

Forest, my curiosity is killing me, what are LiFPO3s?

Haha! Do you know the secret handshake?
Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.

I have an almost new Fluke 88V/A Multimeter Kit which I would like to sell, so I am posting it here if anyone is interested.  Fluke sell them for $630, Amazon for $496, and there is one on eBay for $345 plus shipping.  Perhaps it is worth $350 and I will ship free.  If interested, please post.

I am posting this again since someone may have an interest that did not see it yesterday
