thank you for this value info about multimeter i was needed this info so much ❤
One of the best videos on YT. Very helpful and informative; makes me want more detail from you on the uses and features! You get right to the point so no wasted time. Just really helpful all around. Thank you!
very complete and clear, great work m8!
That is an excellent video you explain everything 👍 .
You completely blew my mind. I been trying to teach my self how to use a multimeter for years and I saw this video and I was asking my self what could I possibly learn in 12 minutes. You basically thought me everything I been trying to figure out thank you very much for this very fun and informative video.
It's the amp that kills you not voltage
Damn just happens to be 3am for me rn months later
Capital K is Kelvin
Lower case k is for kilo
my english no good,but i understand,no empty words,direct to content.Thank you boss,subscribed 👍💪
Great ceminar thank you great understanding
Consider this video saved.
why do Ifeel so gay do I not want to become a sparky or am I just lazy
I once twice short-circuited a very large capacitor with my bare hands. It hurt like hell..
Thank-you
6:02 you should mention that in diode mode you get also the forward polarization voltage drop.
I've watched a few of these type videos about multimeter usage. After 36 years as an instrument technician, I can say what is missing is a basic test before using a multimeter. The meter leads must be tested before use. Plug in the leads and short the leads to test continuity on the OHMS setting. Zero resistance verifies the leads are good.
Secondly, when testing for voltage use a three point test. First, test a voltage source that is live to verify the meter functions. Now test your target source to verify there is or isn't voltage, then retest the live source.
Failure to perform these two simple tests could result in electrocution, or at least getting zapped.
A good video!
Brilliant, thanks!
Straight to the point. Great info. Easy to follow. Thanks.

Thanks
Great video my G !!!
Thanks for this!
I don’t know how long it’s been since I watched a video with such high quality like this one, clear, detailed and straight to the point. Great job, James. Thanks a lot.
Owlternating current?
"AL ter nating" 😆
What's the use of that flash symbol scale? , it's something like this 💹 or 〽️, that's why I clicked this video
You did a good job explaining the details. One thing I’m interested in is on bluetooth enabled multimeters, could you make a separate video on this?
Just one word…EXCELLENT.
I really appreciate this man. I do not have any background in electronics but I love tinkering with my devices so this video boosts my confidence in investing in a good multimeter.
I’m very disappointed by how much got through, maybe the cyclone doesn’t match the vacuum flow rate but you have 2 ! And I just bought that same (first) cyclone. Great video, you may just become known as “Mr Caulk”
This is an almost verbatim plagiarising copy of an older video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lAyzRxsbDc
Yet, despite being an almost word-by-word and point-by-point plagiarist copy, the content is lesser and in some cases actually wrong / incorrect, or incomplete.

2:10 that is indeed excellent tip. I had that once happening closing circuit via chest.. If it was not a colleague's quick reaction I am not sure how that would end, but your muscles are blocked by electricity and you can't let go.. I had burned holes in the skin on my fingers that took months to heal. Please remember : safety first always.
I have been using multiple meters since the 1970s and I find this to be an excellent video.
Thanks
a perfect video that explains like ChatGPT, smooth, no time wasted and boring intros and extros. THANK YOU, I learned alot
Thanks a lot for posting such a perfect, masterful tutorial!
Agreed great video. But when I use a digital meter sometimes, the numbers are ranging all over never stabilizing in a spot. Then I’ve resorted to pulling out a 60 year old analog meter to see where I’m at. Just beyond me. Luckily I don’t work in the electrical field.
The 18v battery voltage depends on how charged it is. 18v is nominal voltage, it ranges from 15v to 21v fully charged.
Excellent
Really helpful thank you brother.
Good video
Nice
At 2mins, 15secs, does it matter which side you put each probe in? If not, why does it not matter – because it is AC?
Thanx bro long time I've been looking for this contents u helped me a lot .
thank you
brilliant thx and love the cheat sheet too !!
Excellent!!!! Thank you!
