“In short: This product comes at an excellent price for its quality and features.
What it has:
Easy to use.
Printed instructions on how to use the multimeter.
Ability to test: voltages, currents, resistances, continuity, and diodes!
Sturdily built body, dial, and leads.
What it does not have:
Auto-off (you should remember to turn it off when you are done, the battery lasts a long time but not forever).
Auto-ranging (you should start with higher estimates and go down from there to avoid triggering the fuses needlessly if you aren't sure what to expect).
Online guide on how to use the multimeter.
Caveat:
The online guide's link provided by SparkFun comes up 404'd. Fortunately instructions on how to use it are also included printed in the package (don't throw it out if you need it as a reference).”
