I don't know anyone who doesn't have difficulty reading those
atrocious blue-bodied 1% resistors, me included/especially. That's why
the Mark 2 meter's kit notes includes this little caution:

"Note that the kit for the Mk.2 version
contains 1% resistors. It’s notoriously
difficult to correctly identify the colour
bands on these, so check each one’s
value with an ohmmeter before soldering
it to the board."

I was just thinking. What are all the other uses one could use the meter
for. Like measuring resistors, coils, ??? I have used mine to measure
low ohms resistance in wiring.
