My VOM, the probes wore out. So being cheap I bought some cheap China ones on Ebay.
These probes are not so good. When reading low ohms they have enough internal resistance to add .5 ohms to the meter. I only noticed that when checking the primary coil resistance of an auto coil and it was reading too high.
Taking a plain decent wire and testing the meter will read 0.0 to 0.1 ohms. And the end of the probe fell off.
So looking to get some, where to get reasonably priced decent ones?
