These days almost any multimeter is good enough for diy. Just dont use
some of them north of the CU's fuses, for that you need a suitable
category rating.

Having had a quite expensive DVM blow up on mains, I'll not use one for
that any more. Have a proper mains test stick one for that - more
convenient too.

BTW, no more volts 'north of the CU' in the average UK house anyway. ;-)

Its the i squared t that's the problem


You using jump leads instead of test leads?

Are you unfamiliar with how multimeters can kill people?
