With all those meters on hand, he was able to make measurements with them all and found that the cheap DT-832 compared favorably with the Flukes and did better than the old Radio Shack meter.Īlthough the readings were in line with the very expensive Fluke meters, is quick to point out that the meter is probably not going to take a beating like the professional meters, but for sitting on your workbench, he was impressed with the cheapest meter on Banggood.

Turns out had on hand several Fluke meters, an old Radio Shack meter, and a pocket-sized meter from Hioki. Of course, the real test is how well it works electrically. The PCB has a fuse, an op amp, a big blob IC that runs everything, and a handful of discrete components. In addition to taking the instrument through its paces, he also shows the insides, and there isn’t much. To be fair, although he mentions Banggood as the source of the meter, a quick Google search shows you can get them from all the usual sources, and the price is down to $3.73 as long as you let them ship it from Canada. You can’t be too surprised it doesn’t auto range, though. It also has some frequency measurement capability. The device measures AC and DC voltage, DC amperage, ohms, transistor beta, and has a diode tester and continuity buzzer. After all, for $5 you can’t expect a top-of-the-line lab instrument.

He just decided to see what $5 would buy in a meter.ĭepending on your predisposition to cheap Asian electronics, you may or may not be surprised.

He does make it clear, by the way, that he wasn’t paid for the review or given the meter. You can see his conclusions in his recent video (below). However, when he saw a DT-832 meter on Banggood for the princely sum for $4.99 he wondered just what kind of meter you’d get for that price. According to, he didn’t really need another digital multimeter.
