Excellent 👍 to hear! Its a great multimeter and should serve you well! CHEAP-O Multimeters are alive and well..don't believe anyone who tells you differently.Yes there are some turds but there's also alot of jewels such as the dmm that you just purchased 👌 Not everyone needs or demands a high end calibrated multimeter or 12KV input protection. Keep on Testing 😃

Thanks for watching!

Roger that, thanks for pointing it out.

Cheers! Welcome aboard !

Thanks! And this video saved my life today, in a way you couldn't imagine 😊

Thanks for watching!

Yes, they could have done better! Keep On Testing!

Yes its the identical multimeter, just a different color.

Hi Richard, I'm always up for reviewing new DMM's, which model were you particularly interested in ? After taking a closer look, they appear to be re-branded HoldPeak meters. Thanks for watching.

I just purchased the BT-39C, so if you could use that one I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Looks like a fun meter to review, consider it done! I'll try to get it online in January..

Thank you, sir!

Hi Derek, Yes indeed, sorry I missed you, probably my fault as I was using some new MAC streaming software (which I won't use next time), I had multiple streams running which I didn't know about until it was too late, hopefully next Live Stream will be more stable!

Hi David, I'll verify the input impedance for you within 24 hours..thanks

10 months later...

It's impedance is 30 Mega-Ohms

if you check out my latest review I used the clamp with the WH5000A, it's a Mastech MS3302 Clamp. Works great!

Not that I'm aware...yes a longer timeout would've been great 👍

Hi Jon, I've tested many .01uF - .047uF caps with this dmm and never any problems. I think it should suffice for most of your capacitance requirements.

@@KeepOnTesting About the stand, if you push on the upper left and right side of it (where it hinges inwards), the bottom pop out. Not ideal, but a bit less pain in the ass...

It will work with some multimeters but not all.

Yes thats a good point, would make for an interesting segment as well. Shielding seems so basic but at the same time almost non-existant in most meters.

@@KeepOnTesting I did see where Joe Q. Smith who does all the meter testing to failure added some custom shielding into an expensive Metrawatt meter that oddly didnt have any and had EMI interference, made a big difference.

@@yambo59 Yes I remember that, Gossen definitely messed up on that one. I will be reviewing a few Gossens in the spring. It will be interesting to see what if anything has changed.

@@KeepOnTesting - I just ordered one of these Fluke 27 old school beast-meters, this things def. got serious shielding and built like a tank inside. Heres the ebay link, $38 plus shipping, hope I get a "good one". Its a retro - wonder of heavy duty through hole construction from the 80's - lol link> www.ebay.com/itm/Fluke-27-Multimeter/382616480372?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Yes those Fluke 27's are indeed sweet meters, I've been keeping my eyes out for one as well, I hear the All Black units are the "military" ones but I'm a sucker for a yellow meter! Let us know how it goes, I hope your seller sends you a sweet deal! Happy New Year!

True! 👍

I agree ! I was expecting to see mV range on the selector switch but was surprised to see it was omitted. It's still a decent and capable meter , well calibrated and nice build quality and for 39$ CDN/33US I think its a good deal.

BTW,Your meter was shipped Canada Post said 3-4 weeks, enjoy!

@@KeepOnTesting Cool. I look forward to receiving it. Thanks again.

It does read millivolts but in the volts range - I have some other budget meters like this, depends on what chip its using I guess. I also have the smaller 4000 ct. version of this meter, the Astro AI DT132A and have to say im very pleased with it, like it even more than the big one is some respects. On the 5000 the blue backlight is cool, but somehow gives the digits a bit of a washed out look - but not a big deal still very readable, the smaller meter has a nicer (to me) white backlight that has a cleaner look, again just my opinion its still a decent meter at least they have a backlight. It Irks me out of the five variants of the UT61 meters the UT61E that I have is the most expensive one and it has no friggin backlight, unforgiveable in a $50 meter imo. ive got cheap ass $15 meters with decent backlights.

​@@yambo59 Yeah, the chip DM1106 is a rebadged Hycon HY12P66 (also sold as the DTM0660) and it does have proper mV range support. It's the same chip as the Aneng AN8008 which actually has 1uV resolution!! Shame they didn't implement the mV ranges, from what I can tell using a crudely translated datasheet, the only thing they would need to do is implement higher input impedance as the variable gain amplifiers already exist in the chip. They saved a couple of resistors worth of parts, and not much else.

Thanks for the scoop.. Yes I recall reading that on a forum. I'll have to give that a try... Worst case scenario I'll have a yellow doorstop... :)

@@KeepOnTesting So.... What were the results after flashing its eeprom?

I wouldn't rate it better than CATII There's no UL or any other certification other than the CE which doesn't mean much.

@@KeepOnTesting ok thanks

Yes indeed, those are all current ranges..a snafu on my part! Thanks for watching!

@@KeepOnTesting good videos nonetheless. Ty for making these lower cost reviews for The hobbyists with Limited budget

Me too, same but red surround, more accurate than I imagined and pretty pleased with it overall. I also have the 4000 count little brother to this one the DT132A I got for $17.99 its also a good meter and I think I might like it even better than the big one in some ways. Hope he reviews the smaller one in the future, theyre both budget meters but good bang for the buck. Im nitpicking but I always stick down those loose flying lead crystal cans on the board with a dab of hot melt glue, but thats just me.

I tried to find the DT132A but I'm unable to locate this meter anywhere. I scoured Ebay/Amazon and ALI Express..where did you buy yours?

@@KeepOnTesting Amazon, just searched WH5000A and first 5 items were 4 different makes with VARYING price points.

Hi Darren, haven't ordered but if you Google "DT132A" then click on the images tab, some will have an Amazon link. Showing me $27.00.

Thanks Derek, I found 1 link its telling me 66CDN to ship via 1 Amazon seller internationally, I'll see if I can find it cheaper elsewhere. Happy New Year!

Здравствуйте, Почему Вы так считаете? Аргументируйте, пожалуйста! Спасибо за просмотр !

@@KeepOnTesting да хотя бы потому, что у него имеется полноценная аналоговая шкала\гистограмма. А модель WH5000а, по моему мнению, является урезанной.

@@Angelo0chek Спасибо Я согласен с Вами! Я обязательно сделаю видео с рекомендованным Вами мультиметром, скорее всего в форме сравнения:) Очень точно подмечено! С наступающим Новым Годом!!

@@KeepOnTesting И вас с наступающим. Кстати, не нашел в youtube ни одного полноценного обзора именно на модель WH5000

Хорошо, я буду первым :)
