Re: economy multimeter? Possibly found?

Well, after a lot of online searching, the most interesting DMM I have
found, within my desired parameters, is a Sears Craftsman.

It's Sears item # 03482400000 model 82400.

Specs say it has autorange and 20 amp ac/dc current. Now I need to see
what kind of batteries it uses. It also comes with a "thermocouple",
which I don't need.

I wonder who makes this particular DMM? Probably nobody that I've ever
heard of, but I am somewhat comforted by the fact that Sears has a
reasonable history of customer service, and this DMM is warranted for 1
year.

The price is $30.

I bought an HP 3466 4.5 digit multimeter from Ebay for that amount of
money (including shipping). Cheap 4.5 digit multimeters are hard to
find. To me the HP3466 has 2 major advantages:
first: it is mains powered which means no more hassle with batteries.
second: It has an LED read-out which means the reading can be seen in
the dark or when viewing the meter from an angle.
