The HoldPeak 36C multi-meter is constructed mostly of plastic with rubber accents to make it more durable. Included with the meter are two sets of test leads and a brief user manual. The meter is capable of measuring the following:
- DC Voltage: 200mV-600V
- AC Voltage 200V-600V
- DC Current: 20mA-10A
- AC Current: 20mA-10A
- Resistance: 200Ohm-2M Ohm
- Capacitance: 20 micro-fared
- Diode Test
- hFE Test
- Continuity
- Battery Test: 1.5V, 9V, 12V
It features a controllable back lit LCD and data hold function.
Throughout my testing the meter remained within 4% when compared to much more expensive true RMS meter. I found this to be very good considering the price as many inexpensive meters I have used have often been off by as much as 20%. While I would not use this for high precision testing, I highly recommend it for the casual mechanic, do it yourselfer, or hobbiest. The inexpensive price combined with consistent performance and one year warranty, makes this meter easy to recommend.
