Me and my friends coined a word "higgins" along those lines to slip into talking with the hot p.e or biology teacher......
having just googled it, i'm not sure if i should be proud or disappointed in myself

Urban Dictionary: higgins

 

[bassmonster]

Complete waste of money, it's no more reliable than this

I'm on my second now in 3 years and only because I lost my first. It's ace.

Can't believe how cheap that is.
My fluke case cost more than this whole package.
Done a bit of digging and found accuracy wise it is on par with Fluke. Long term reliability/quality is a questionable.
There is also some question of the safety of it for higher end voltage use which the majority of us will not need worry about.
For general 240v use and that price think will get it as a back up.
