KM602

My Fluke 76 meter finally died after decades of daily use. As a Fluke fan I'm looking at the replacement models now but needed a quick, cheap meter to use in the interim. I settled on this one for an overnight delivery. And, I'm pleasantly surprised! It has heft unlike the cheap lightweight feel of, well... cheap meters. It has a protective meter cover as well as a quality zipper bag for storage. Then there's a color LCD screen which is something I've never seen before in a meter, ditto for the rechargeable battery feature. I'm mixed on the rechargeable battery. With battery-powered meters (only type I've every used, or seen) when you get a low-battery warning you stop work for a minute and replace the battery. But, this meter has to go on a 10-hour charger, the bad thing being that according to the manual it cannot be used while charging. That ain't good! I'm also concerned about the durability of the huge LCD screen... I can just see those cracks already. Meters are handheld and anything held in hand is going to be dropped. And, all rechargeable batteries eventually fail and need replacement after x-number of charge cycles. Can a replacement battery be found at a reasonable cost? Easy to replace? Can it be replaced? So, there's the concerns I have. But, the manual claims the battery to be 3.7 volts. Could it be one of those big universal 18650 batteries? I'll bet it is considering the weight and front-to-back thickness of the meter, but I'll leave finding out to to if and when it becomes necessary. The meter of course turns itself off after a few minutes of non-use - nice to know. One last thing I don't like is the recharging plug and port. For some reason the port is deeply recessed into the meter requiring an extra long plug to reach it. It would take too much to explain it exactly, I'll just say I've never seen one like it. But, the price is low, so if I drop and smash that big LCD screen I'll still be able to pay the light bill. It's also chock-full of features I've never had on a multimeter. All meters handle the usual AC/DC volts, ohms, current and diode functions, but this meter has it all...Volts AC/DC, Ohms, Diode Check, Current, Frequency, Capacitance, and Temperature The thing even came with a wired temperature probe, and of course it has Auto-ranging which is perhaps the greatest upgrade to multimeters since they enter existence. I checked the accuracy of this KM602 meter against a variety of other instruments... LCR testers, frequency counters, etc. and can say that its readings agree with everything else I've got and know to be accurate. The manual says that the meter is accurate to a tolerance of +/- 1 to 4% depending on the function - I see nothing that contradicts that. One detailed review said that this meter's measurement ranges are not earth-shattering, and that is true. What's also true is that most users will never have need for measurements that extreme... I know I don't. That's my quick take on this thing. I get a feeling that the more I use it, the more I'll like it. With all the buttons I thought it would be a chore to learn everything, but the meter's controls are very intuitive... you get a lot of positive transfer knowledge from having worked on devices with similar function titles and sequences. I paid about $45 for this meter and got a lot of hardware for that amount of money.

If you're a novice when it comes to electrical testing, this KAIWEETS Smart Multimeter is absolutely the one to get—and it earns a well-deserved 5 stars. The auto-ranging feature alone makes it beginner-friendly right out of the box, eliminating the guesswork of manually selecting the right range before taking a measurement. It measures voltage, current, resistance, continuity, capacitance, temperature, frequency, and NCV all in one tool, which covers everything a homeowner, DIYer, or RV owner needs for everyday electrical diagnostics without being overwhelming to navigate. The 6000 count TRMS accuracy gives reliable, precise readings, and the rechargeable battery means you're never hunting for a replacement at an inconvenient time. The one thing worth noting is that the display can be difficult to read in direct sunlight, so keep that in mind if you're doing outdoor or under-hood work in bright conditions. It's a minor inconvenience but worth being aware of. Overall, a smart, well-designed multimeter that makes electrical testing approachable and straightforward for anyone just getting started. Highly recommended.

This has a non replaceable battery. It holds a charge for a long time. I like that the leads go into the bottom of the meter and not the face. I used this meter when trying to find a low voltage / current problem in an ECM battery feed circuit. The problem was corrosion in the wire which is also seen as resistance. I had a 12 volt battery feeding the circuit and was using a load pro to check the circuit. I told you that because This meter would switch back and forth between resistance and voltage due to the severe corrosion in the wire. It also takes the meter about two seconds to update the screen to your reading. I found myself frustrated in waiting as I was checking 86 pins for cross feed or lack of supply voltage. If you are checking multiple leads this meter can slow you down due to its slower screen update. I also did not like the meter jumping from voltage to resistance constantly. I was not able to lock the meter in just dc voltage. The issue I was troubleshooting is not the norm. In other measuring scenarios this meter does a good job. I do like the large screen and it is easy to see. If this will be used in a rough enviorment I would get a screen protector for it. You can buy universal savers that you cut to size. My screen got slightly scratched as we were working on a unit that stopped running loaded on the side of a road so there was dirt everywhere and i kept brushing off the screen and it got scratched. I have a photo of the wire that failed due to corrosion and caused the meter to jump back and forth from voltage to resistance.

This is literally foolproof and idiot proof, the brightness is perfect. As with any screen reading in direct sunlight lower the clarity. The battery life is totally fine. This is a great value for the money. The feature and use is simple for a novice like me. The readout is easy to follow and precise. This is a literary plug and play unit that carries all of the needed features required.

love this electrical tester. It takes the guess work out of which settings to use, the large lcd screen is bright and tested against other expesive ones i own and it is accurate! The temp probe is a nice feature and finding the hot side of an outlet with single probe is great.

A useful tool for diagnosing problems with cars and lawnmowers, etc.

Near impossible to see screen outside

Great meter

İlk aldığımda probları yerine iyice oturtmamışım ve verim alamamıştım. Meğer hata bendeymiş. Cihaz çok iyi.

Ich verstehe nicht wie man so ein geiles Messgerät für so einen kleinen Taler herstellen kann. Es funktioniert einwandfrei. Ich bin Elektriker und habe bereits alle Funktionen getestet. Das Display ist im Freien etwas dunkel. Kann ich aber mit leben. Von mir eine klare Kaufentscheidung und 5 Sterne.

It’s amazing and so easy to use

Articolo arrivato puntuale e ben imballato, nella sua scatola sigillata. Custodia inclusa che, una volta aperta, mostra il multimetro. devo dire che è veramente ben fatto, bellissimo esteticamente e molto leggero. Oltre la custodia con zip, il prodotto ha una cover in silicone aggiuntiva che lo protegge ulteriormente, i puntali rossi e nero ovviamente e una piccola sonda che consente di misurare la temperatura in punti stretti (si, perché questo multimetro consente di misurare anche i gradi c/f). Display ampio e visibile da qualsiasi angolazione, anche sotto la luce diretta del sole. Molteplici funzioni che rendono questo articolo veramente eccezionale. La misurazione è impeccabile!!! Molto apprezzabile la funzione automatica che consente di effettuare misurazioni senza impostare manualmente la funzione specifica. Altra chicca è la misurazione senza contatto, che consente di misurare una tensione solo avvicinando il multimetro ai punti da testare. Inoltre è presente una funzione di spegnimento automatico dopo 15 minuti di inattività, disattivabile in qualsiasi momento. Che dire, 45€ sembrerebbero un pó troppi ma li vale tutti! Mi sento di consigliare il prodotto ad occhi chiusi

Got it long back. So used it thoroughly before evaluation. Quite a useful tool. Accuracy is it's main plus point. Build quality is ok. Easy to charge and operate. A little too pricy, but that's fine. One more thing is that it arrived on time and on perfect condition. All in all, it's worth having.
