Would this be OK for a cheap multimeter
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271084296621? ... 1423.l2649, I know it's a copy or can somebody recommend one. I have a cheapy from Aldi's at the moment which is dying. Rob

I use one of these -

I don't like the cheaper yellow ones because I like the buzzer on the continuity tester, I don't know what else is better because reading voltages, reading current and continuity is the end of my multimeter knowledge.

That looks good Paul but a bit over what I want to spend it's only for checking the oslon's once Iv'e soldered them. My knowledge on how to use of them is limited. Rob

Your doing better than me. I just knows a man who knows. I am dreading the wiring of my pan and tilt.
