Multimeters are some of the most important tools for any electrician. Multimeters allow the worker to measure currents in AC and DC format, as well as test for frequency and capacity. At Sears, you can find multimeters and meters from well-known brands such as Craftsman and Fluke that are suitable for checking measurements on any electrical task.
Multimeters may come in analog or digital form. Analog meters use a needle and number line to display units, while digital formats use an LCD screen to show measurements. Meters feature dials that allow the user to set the unit which is to be measured. Digital multimeters often allow for data storage and measure currents, volts, temperature, cycles, and resistance. Craftsman meters are available in a variety of sizes and sensitivities for all electrical needs.
Multimeters and meters use probes and leads as a means of checking electrical flows and resistance across electrical wires. Some meters do not come with a set of test leads; those that do may not offer the style the electrician desires. Electrical meter test leads can come in standard sets of two, or may be offered as kits, which include standard designs as well as alligator clamps and wire grabbers. Separately purchased leads are not compatible with every model; be sure to check compatibility before purchasing.
Multimeters and meter accessories are also available from Fluke, a popular name in electronic devices. Fluke products offer protection and standard electrical meters for everyday use. Fluke multimeters come in a familiar yellow casing, so they are easy to spot.
General electrical currents are not the only things that may be detected by meters. Moisture levels can also be located via meters. Moisture meters are useful for drywall, wood, and other materials, and can be used to determine destruction to walls and other building sites due to water damage. Such knowledge is important when attempting to install or repair new electrical wiring.
