High performance and value priced, the Test
Bench®Series offers more features for the dollar
than other multimeters. These meters include
Component Test capabilities, Resistance, Diode
Test and Capacitance, in addition to measuring
Frequency, Temperature and a Logic Indicator.
See the chart below for the meter that best fits
your needs. Dual injection molding process
allows a better grip and protection for the
meters. CE marked and UL listed.
