- Today I traded my Klein Tools MM400 multimeter for the MM300. Included in that package is the NCVT-1 non-contact voltage tester. The RT105 receptacle tester and the IR1 infrared thermometer.
This is a great package for the price for someone getting started out in the trades or a DIY-er fixing things around the house.

I like that it comes with red and black roach clips with ear plugs on the other end. Genius
😂😂
I have used analog meters since I was a child. Now, in retirement, I finally decided to buy a Klein CL900 digital multimeter
with amp clamp. What a nice device.
The little ir temp gun is helpful getting a rough idea if all cylinders are firing or not. Fire it at the exhaust manifold tubes and if one is colder or hotter it can narrow down which cylinder your having issues with. I've also used one to find a restriction on a mast, run the hydraulics long enough to warm it up then just follow the hoses to the cylinders and look for the hot spot. I think you and I fill similar roles at our dealerships, your little rant at the end about being excited when the call comes in that says we've thrown the kitchen sink at it and it still has the engine light, are my favorite. Love a challenge.
DUDE!!! I am 100% with you on that Auto Ranging - it can be crap!! I can't count how many times I just grab my 50+ yo Simpson 270!! No auto-ranging on that baby. And its always right. A bit big and clunky, but some jobs it's just easier than the hard to see digital display. Esp when you know you are on a 48Volt device, and you just want to see that meter swing to near 50V!
Cheers!!
Edit: Also, I prefer the outlet tester with the GF check button, personally.
On my, I use the Simpson too.
Only problem I ever had with an analog Simpson was when somebody else kindly dropped it for me and I had to open it up,and re zero the movement. Fortunately the teacher in High School Radio Shop taught us how to do that without breaking it.
Explaining to my wife why I wanted to borrow her nail polish remover was the hard part.
Auto ranging meters have a manual range button on them. Use it lol
Good stuff. Never messed with an auto-ranging meter and own a few of those tools already. Nice to see Klein offering some good products.
I just got the three pack deal at Lowe’s for $20. It had the mm320, the pt250 plug tester, And the death stick. Got two of them the old lady is a plumber so I gave her one for her van.
Suggestion for wrapping the cables and relieving stress on the connectors... Rotate the plugs to the left and wrap the wires horizontally and the meter body helps eliminate stress on the plug wire boots.
The cell/battery test ranges include a load (resistor) so you aren’t just measuring the open terminal voltage. The manual probably specifies the resistance of each range, So, not the same as the voltage ranges-and probably pretty useful for trades since cells and batteries are used in a lot of things tools, &c.
Thank You for sharing this very informative video with us. Good Job!
I just got the circuit finder kit ET-310. The reason as a DIY / handyman person is I often find the labeling of a panel to be inaccurate.
I’m a maintenance tech for some low incoming government housing, 100 units, some built in the 60s and 70s. A lot of is original stuff and almost all of it is mislabeled at this point. I’ve been debating getting it but haven’t yet
The ET-310 is good, but I really like my ET-450, it does basically the same thing, but works on non energized circuits, it works on stuff that’s underground also. Works great trying to find stuff that has broken wiring, or is on a timer.
@@rrsttt7505 I looked into that and for my usage it didn't warrant the higher price although I did consider the ET-450. The amusing thing is what triggered the purchase was my wife had a space heater and a small shopvac on at the same time in our outdoor 3 season room and a breaker tripped but it wasn't visible / obvious at all which one had tripped. The ET-310 wouldn't solve that type of problem but it would help me fix the mislabeling that has happened over the years of previous owners in the house.
@@drescherjm electrical panel labeling is the bane of my existence. I love going into a commercial place, open the panel, and there is a sheet of paper that was filled out with pencil in 1975, and nothing is visible anymore.
Sounds like my panel 😜
I have most of these, or a version of them. Gotta have it. MM will get a lot done when trying to repair electronics, and the other stuff helped me to install extra outlets and lights around the house.
Nice review.
Good kit for the basics.
LCD = Liquid Chicken Display.
😎👍🏻
Thanks for information. Very helpful.
love watching you I call you the man of all trades lol
Ok , I am feeling old this morning.
My first year as a mechanic. The first meter I owned was a MAC tool with a needle. Worked for 2 years before I bought a DVOM.
I'm also In-Kleined to buy these tools. Great video. A multi meter tutorial would be great.
I like Klein's hand tools, and have no further experience with them. Extech (Teledyne FLIR) sells the EX410A which should be directly comparable- screen may be a bit larger, and support K-type thermocouples (it's even still orange). Brymen sells nicer meters (in red), but not in the US. Greenlee sells several rebadged Brymen's (in green). Likewise, EEVBlog sells a couple (in blue). My preference is still my precious yellow meter, but they are VERY proud of their work.
Excuse my reading comprehension but what brand is your yellow meter?
And fluke or flir are your best bet for quality accurate voltage meters.
I picked up the Klein ET600 Megger a few months ago for a deal and have the Klein Scout Pro 3 as well...I'd call them both fairly decent for the price. I have a lot of Fluke meters, a big boy 287, a 179, a 325 AC/DC clamp, a 323 clamp (that I got in a kit with the 179) that I need to sell, and a T5-600, and a few of their little beep sticks and a bunch of leads and a bag and such. The Fluke stuff definitely feels better built, less plasticy, controls are nicely weighted, they're super fast/accurate/stable, etc. but honestly the value for money of Klein can't be beat. A megger of the same capability as the Klein but from Fluke would have cost 4-5 times as much, it's just crazy.
As an electrician my multimeter is a greenlee with an amp clamp. My everyday set is the fluke pro-T. The greenlee only comes out for amp reading .
I had a Greenlee years ago. Early 2Ks
It stopped working after I dropped it and was only a little or a year old.
Working automotive...
Get a DC clamp meter with peak hold too !
Btw,
I think those 1.5 & 9V battery test selections put a higher load on the circuit than the regular voltage scale does.
On that receptacle tester,
It won't display anything if line is hot but neutral and ground is open.
That can lead a user to think a safe condition exists when its still dangerous.
Btw,
I don't work on a lot of receptacles anymore. But my experience, about 8% of all 120V receptacles I'd encounter are backwards polarity.
Cat 3 meters are good up to 600V and Cat 4 meters are good up to 1000V. I mainly use Fluke for their reliability and accuracy but I do have a ton of Klein meters too I like to use for my home and hvac purposes. But in the plant I work in (industrial maintenance) where I do 480vac daily I only use flukes.
I knew exactly where he was going when he held it up. The only thing I hate about my Klein Tools multimeter is the need to constantly put it in the right mode every time I turn it on. Drives me crazy.
I’ve own a Fluke 88 for over 25 years, it has served me well, you can set it for auto or manual range.
Can’t beat a Fluke. Still have mine from 1980 EE school
I have 2 I got from my grandpa. Ones 24 years old and the other is 30 something. I have no problem. Buying them used
Please do a tutorial about multimeters! They look intimidating to me
I have a Klein too. Not that exact model. I've used it 4 times, lol.
As HVAC guy, I only buy Fieldpiece. I like my Klein handtools, but I haven’t messed with their meters
I really like your "without looking it up" CAT III stats
spoiler: he was right on with charts published by Digikey
I’ve got so much stuff rattling around in that big head of mine. Sometimes I get lucky 😜
I've used a fluke for years it wasn't cheap but worth the money it cost over £70 many years ago not sure how much that would be then in $ !
Ive been looking for a good meter for auto work and checking drains. Might have to try this one out.
Battery Test: 9V (6mA); 1.5V (100mA)
Funk, yeah they probably needed filler functions. But your testing cells under load on those positions. It's not JUST voltage reading.
Well testing under "load"
I just bought that kit a couple weeks ago at lowes for like $43 just for the voltmeter itself cause I needed one to replace my old one that gave up. Klein meters really good for automotive repairs as well i have the m400 that i use everyday at work as a heavy equipment mechanic and never had a problem with it other than breaking the lead by accident been going strong for 3 years now
RE: harbor freight IR thermometer.
Sounds like you got a bad one, I've had a couple of them and they were both pretty good. Never had an issue with them jumping back to celsius every time.
Does our intrepid host realize he has asthma? I keep wanting to let him borrow my inhaler
5:25 shots fired!
Klein not bad.. but once I got a Fluke, who kindof drives the industry... does a great job.
But definitely get the tools that make the job easy! Even 10-15 seconds easier! Thanks FUNK!
But, I clicked through and bought one for the motorcycle sidebag. (NCVT and outlet tester for the house).
As an electrician I love klein tools but their meters are trash. I've been using fluke meters for a decade now and still have the original one I bought off another guy for $30 bucks! Still works after being dropped a thousand times from 6ft to 45 or so, I've welded the tips numerous times, dropped it in puddles worked with it in the rain. You get the point and if I was you I'd leave that meter at home and go buy a fluke for the work truck.
Would be super nice if auto-ranging remembered last setting on each dial position.
Looks like a great deal for a diy'er but I think I'll stick to my fluke 179 with TL175 probes ... Dmm snobbery is real in the UK ..you turn up with almost anything other than a fluke you'll get laughed off the job site.
If that Blue Point meter really was a rebranded Fluke (pretty skeptical of that, in decades working in a calibration lab I never saw nor heard of a Fluke rebrand) then that "glitching" LCD segment is a free, 5 minute fix.
I think the SnapOn guy told me that. He’s probably full of 💩
Man I feel ur pain…I too work on material handling equipment…..I have the same meter…pain in the rump. Got a Fluke 87-V and never looked back.
I love me some Klein, but fluke networks just takes the cake for electrical testers
When will you post more fpv content?
Have the same issue with my innova meter drives me crazy always have to set the range
I do HVAC/R. I had a field piece when I first started because it was 99 bucks. It was ok. But after a couple months I realized I needed something better. The field piece lied to me a lot. It'd tell me I didn't have voltage when I was having to remove a part. Then I touch high voltage. Went straight to the supply house and bought a fluke. It was 300 and hasn't failed me once. I do love Klein tools. But when dealing with 120 on up to 460 I wanted something that was proven. I know Klein is mainly for electrician so I'm sure their meters are great too. The master tech teaching me used fluke and when I went to school to be a mechanic all the experienced techs said go with fluke for meters so I did.
Field piece does make some pretty decent HVAC gear. But for the meter I’m with you fluke is the way to go for that
DIJICALS, my favorite 😭
👍‼️
Ive seen mechanics and tradesmen show off their tools they use, still in the package all clean and never opened...
I’m not why people collect new tools 😂🤷🏻♂️
Please teach me how to use one of these things! I own one and I'm better off sticking my tongue on live wires than fumbling around with this.
That MM300 has been out of production for some time.
Order this, it will slip on the knob on the back at the top, it will give you a magnet strap so you can hang the meter near where you are working so you can see it
Klein Tools 69417 Rare-Earth Magnetic Hanger, with Strap
Nice! 👍🏻 I’m ordering one 😎
@@FunkFPV let me know if you need any help spending more money with Klein. I swear my truck should be sponsored by Dewalt and Klein, I’ve probably got more money invested in them than I do in the truck
I use Fluke.
Centech. Yeah, we all know where you got it. 😂
I have the MM700 and despise it. The screen is so positional it’s aggravating. There is a small window you must be in to see the readout boldly. I replaced the first under warranty and the second was just the same as the first, so it’s a legit problem with screen quality.
I’m a gen tech and meters are the most valuable tool for me. I use a fluke 87v everyday. If you’re an auto tech or a tech who mainly deals with dc voltages and resistance measurements, you don’t need a $700 meter. But if you do work on ac voltages regularly, use a high quality auto ranging, true RMS meter. They’re more accurate, safer, and you can trust the quality, especially if it’s Fluke. Anyone complaining about the auto ranging function doesn’t have much experience with a meter. You can select the range function on the meter to read ohms, kohms, megohms, all of that. On top of selecting what range of voltage you want to read. Auto range is fine a lot of the time and I understand the frustration having the reading bounce all over the place when in auto, just range it lol. DO NOT USE A CHEAPO METER ON AC. If you care about your life at all, do not fkin use some $15 analog harbor freight meter on anything ac. Watch videos of those cheap meters failing, nothings changed, they still blow up in 2024.
I used Amprobes and other non-Fluke meters for a long time. I just thought that of Fluke prices are inflated by their reputation and don't give bang for your buck. I got used to setting the meters on manual range mode since auto-ranging tends to be slower.
My new employer gave me a very nice (and slightly overkill) Fluke 289. First time using it I immediately realized that Fluke takes auto-ranging readings way faster than most brands. There are still situations where I might consider manual ranging but it's not a neccecity as it used to be for me.
Also that model has some sick features that I didn't even consider that I might need in a multimeter. Like the accurate low-resistance measurement mode or low-impedance voltage measurement (anti-ghost voltage).
I would rather stick with the mm400 cause the mm300 doesn’t have min/max and if you need to do a voltage drop test and you can’t look at your meter or can’t look at it fast enough you won’t know what your voltage drop is.
5:25 Would that be the same guy that unironically made a video stating that Subarus are the absolute easiest vehicles for an owner to maintain and repair? Any multimeter that goes straight to AC when a mode is switched is designed purely for electricians, they are very frustrating to use for anyone working on primarily DC circuits.
If it’s the same guy that wears a Subaru mechanic’s even though he doesn’t work for them, then yes 😜
Agreed, auto ranging sucks
Throw DeKlein away and get fluke.
For tow motor work why?
Teach the audience this sort of witchcraft and sorcery and it's only a matter of time before some WARRIAR out there hurts himself or sets something on firedont ask me how but they will but they gotta learn some how
You plug that meter into anything near 6 thousand volts and you won’t be able to tell us how it went lol. How about sticking to 600 volts or less. If you like your face 😂
If the source impedance and pulse length is according to standard it should be safe to hold but probably broken at 6000 V transients like distant lighting strikes.
As an electrician i like klien but fluke is the way to go with a meter.
The battery scale applies a small load to the circuit you're testing. More accurate way to measure a battery's true voltage.
We call that fire 😂😂
