New, inexpensive DMM

[stringsthings]

Just got me a new DMM!  ( I'm strangely excited as my other DMM is a cheap futurlec meter that's really old )



brand/model:  ANENG AN8008
I got mine on sale for under $20 from banggood.  You can also find it on Amazon for around $25.  ( search: AN8008 )
If you don't mind the longer shipping time, it's all over ebay. 

One reason I was shopping for a new DMM - I wanted a meter with more resolution and accuracy for matching transistors.
This meter is 9999 counts which essentially means it has very good resolution.  For Vbe matching, it has a resolution of 1 uV.
It even got a good review from EEVblog.  ( the guy really doesn't like cheap equipment, but he liked this meter )
The digits are nice and big.  It's got a backlight.  And it comes with a nice set of leads and some extra stuff.
I wouldn't recommend it for high voltage work, but it's perfect for hobbyist work like pedal building. 
It also has a frequency meter that goes up in to the Mhz range so I can use it to calibrate some of the trickier builds.

I need a new dmm my current one won't check diodes properly for some reason.  I'll take a look at one of these.
