For insulation, it's useful, I s'pose; but the more significant problems
on domestic circuits are likely to need low-ohms metering rather than
hi-ohms


I agree. The spec sheet (downloadable via link in corner) says there are
four ranges, the fourth being:

OHMS:
Range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
.. . .20 Ohms
Resolution . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0.01 Ohms
(ñ1%)
Max open circuit voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
.4.2V
Short circuit current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=200mA @ 2 Ohms

(or am I misunderstanding this spec)
