Same here. And to check the sinusoidal output of my flux capacitor.

used the multimeter just to check continuity, resistance on parts such as coils and relays, also check proper voltage reading on the charging system.

i got mine on sale for 2.99

I've compared it to my friends fluke and my $200 matco multimeter and its almost dead on with both.
