Topic: New multimeter with thermocouple

My old meter died, so I looked at reviews for some not too expensive meters, and found the Klein Tool MM1000 getting good reviews, and even more amazing, it was available at Home Depot cheaper than amazon. One of the most useful features for 3D printing work is the thermocouple probe that comes with it, so I should be able to do a much better job calibrating thermistors and such.

Re: New multimeter with thermocouple

You know what is really sad..... I have  a Fluke with temp probe and never once thought to use it to check my SD2 temps with.  Probe is still in the box and never been used.  hmm

Re: New multimeter with thermocouple

I got this one and use the thermal probe more than the voltage.
