KAIWEETS HT118A Digital Multimeter Professional, T-RMS Autoranging Multitester 6000 Counts Measures AC/DC Current, Voltage, Continuity, Capacitance, NCV, Resistance, Duty, Diodes, Live, LED Jacks

I am very satisfied with this multimeter. It is very practical, easy to use, and provides accurate measurements. It works exactly as expected and is a reliable tool for everyday use. I’m happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others.

I bought the KaiWEETS digital multimeter to test a grounding sheet I had. The multimeter worked just fine. It came with 2 free AA batteries. I can't comment on the battery life just yet, but it gives you a warning beep if left on too long without use. Included in the hard plastic design is flip out kick stand at the back. An instruction pamphlet is included, but in English only. I've seen reviews about the 2 cables end connectors being the wrong type. You need to pull out the cover caps to reveal the connectors for the multimeter ports, see 2nd photo. It is compact enough to put in your pocket and hold in your hand. Compared to the prices of other brands, this is a bargain. Always follow the safety instructions of devices. If you are not using battery operated devices for a long period, if possible, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

Alright, ill tell you what i think of it. If i could give it 3 and a half stars, id give it that. But 4 is the benefit of the doubt. 2 AAA batteries? Is this a laugh? I have another one thats on a 9v battery. Theres a voltage indicator on the head, this is super practical but it's weak at detecting any actual signal unlike like a volt pen. There are functions that some multimeters dont have - plus it is easy to figure out compared to more common models of multimeters. I like this, the leads are a lot better than the cheap tacky ones i got with another multimeter. Accuracy? Its hard to tell, mine likes to jump around in its values to like 0-0.4Ohms or whatever when the leads aren't in contact with anything. It reads well, but its iffy sometimes. Id say well worth the money because you get what you pay for. If you're just a simple diy guy like me, sure, it works fine. Exceptional quality on the screen and the device and the leads, not happy about it being triple A batteries for power. Love how limited the options are for more clarity but again, pros and cons outweigh each other so its a bizarre review from me.

EDIT - well it's November 24 a year after buying it and still really happy with it, I've used it for a lot of stuff (other that just guitars) and still impressed with it. I was just passing through as I'm going to be buying another one (amongst other things) for my son whose finally leaving home! I saw a review on here that a chap who's bought one said there is no continuity buzzer. There is, but I didn't know at first either, I found out by a fluke (if you will excuse the pun) when you set the resistance function, it is silent, but press 'FUNC' then you get the reading and the buzzer, if you press func again it'll go into diode reading mode - I think you can cycle this, and I only found out by mistake because I'm ham fisted and pressing buttons willy nilly!! But it does show you on the selector switch you can have the buzzer. The other person whose posted photos of the "wrong leads" well - I don't know what to say - they have protective covers that pull off the end of the lead that goes into the meter socket. I don't think anyone else here has complained about having to remove covers, so I think it's safe to ignore that review, like everyone else has. I'm not an electrician so I don't rely on a meter to earn my money, but I believe most households should have a meter for those little jobs that a DIY'er would be comfortable to do. I paid £40 for this meter (I believe it was even cheaper a few months ago) and I'm really happy with it. It tells you which sockets to connect your leads into for whichever function you want to measure. I do a lot of work on my guitars and it's excellent for continuity and capacitance. It's also great for measuring AC mains and DC for your car. I watched a lot of youtube reviews before I bought and most report that the accuracy is spot on when compared to a Fluke. That's all I really need. If I was a HV electrician and went about measuring current and voltage on substation busbars then I'd probably end up with a Fluke as I'm not sure that the leads are rated at a CAT rating. But then again its horses for courses, for me it's a fantastic meter, easy to read, easy to use, pretty rugged and hopefully long lasting.

Superb and robust meter, calibrated it against a recently calibrated Fluke 115 that cost 12 times as much and it was within 0.01% on voltage and resistance which to be honest, so was my other Fluke. The only thing I would have liked to have seen extra was a continuity buzzer so that I wasn't having to look at the display to check. It does actually say that it has one but I have never heard it, maybe mine had a faulty piezo but it is a minor thing so I never bothered asking. The NCV doesn't always detect through plasterboard but then again I have never come across one that does so no marks knocked off for that, if you touch it directly to the outside of a live mains cable or a socket it will register. The True RMS seems to work well, I did a comparison to an oscilloscope on a dimmer switch and it was very, very close, something really useful when measuring none sinusoidal loads. As with all auto ranging meters it can take a couple of seconds to switch sometimes but I am already used to this so again, no marks lost for that. Reaction time is slower than the Fluke so if you are looking for very fast and very accurate DC measurements where 0.25 of a second difference in response time is important (I know on some automotive and sensor input / control stuff it is) then maybe look at a Fluke 115 but expect to pay 12 times more. I haven't checked the spec but I would guess that the display update on this is twice a second whereas the 115 is four times a second. Too slow to register RS485 but for that I always either use an analogue or a scope anyway. I would liked to have seen an optional hanging hook like you can get for the Fluke (they might even make one but I couldn't find it) but the rubberised case has a cut out at the back similar to the Fluke that one can be inserted into. I roughly copied the Fluke one in CAD, down-scaled it to fit and 3d printed one and I also made a magnetic version so that I can stick it to the outside of control panels. Nice solid case, clear and bright display. For my needs in ELV electronics with the odd bit of 240 and sometimes 450 AC this is as good as any of the Flukes that I have but at a tiny fraction of the cost. As a general electronics / DIY product or for a pro that is using it for day to day I would say that you would be hard pushed to find a better and more robust one and certainly not at the £17.99 price that I paid.

It's good for me. Not big and work perfectly.

Not reliable. Readings are not accurate

Nice price
