      Comments about Amprobe PM51A Pocket Digital Multimeter w/ Frequency and Capacitance:

      Seems to work fine. I haven't compared the accuracy of the readings to a higher end meeting like a Fluke. But for me, its doing a great job. It does seem to be more accurate than really cheap meters below $10.
