Gardner Bender GMT-318 Analog Multimeter, 6 Function, 14 Range, AC / DC Volt, 500V

I bought this to double check what I thought was a ghost voltage of 33V as measured by a digital meter that I had bought about 10 days earlier in a 3-way switch setup. Rather than spending another $125+ on a meter with Lo-Z, I went with this Gardner Bender GMT-318 as an analog meter (lower impedance, though not Lo-Z). This matched the hot wire reading of the digital meter, and it confirmed 0.1V for the traveler wire that wasn't hot.This meter's ability to measure resistance might not be good enough for some (Rx100 setting, and an analog scale that goes from 500 to infinite a the next tick). For the price, though, I find it to be a good secondary meter. This is clear by the product image, so I'm not going to hold that against my rating.There are some reviews about the battery not fitting well. I didn't have that experience. It's tight, sure, but I'd rather have that condition than a loose battery. For me, it was neither too difficult to insert the battery nor to take it out. The product description says that the battery is not included, so I'm not going to hold that against my rating.

My order came in more than on time, I am very happy thank u ,,, keep up the good work🫵😃

Been using this exact type of analog volt meter since 1982.Easy to use & compact.Unless you’re a professional electrician,this meter is all you need for do it yourselfers.

Great meter for a low price, but the battery barely fits. It is EXTREMELY tight. This is why my last one broke; one of the terminals simply couldn't stand the pressure and eventually snapped. If they'd increase the battery compartment by even 1/16 inch, it would be perfect.

Good quality circuit tester.

Great procuct... great low price

Extreme difficulty inserting the AA cell. It required plastic meltology to clear plastic lands near the battery contacts before it would accept the batterySo far it's a usable meter.

This Gardner Bender GMT-318 Analog Multimeter, 6 Function, 14 Range, AC / DC Volt, 500V testing meter is the type I have always used to build and test motor circuits and lead wires in mineral processing operations. This meter works perfect replacing one of my older and cracked meters and to me- the analogue type of function is much better than 50 different settings on digital meters. Very well- made and functions perfectly and is exactly the right size for me. Excellent find at a good price.
