BBSS Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Does anyone have any recommendations. I guess it's one of those things that gets forgotten about but in the past had a few situations where it would be a big help.

Hugorune Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Sorry if I'm just being thick, but doesn't http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.j...=cpc/509573.xml include http://cpc.farnell.com/proskit-industries/...equestid=157365 for about 7 pounds less? I realise it's unbranded, but it's quite obviously the same unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I aint got one like that but guess the tone generator is built in the dmm. Might be ok if you dont need your meter calibrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
