This is an amazing tool, I use it quite daily! Also another thing to mention is that on the back the cable is removable and it has a standard banana 4 mm connector so the cable can be replaced and you can use for example a banana cable with a crocodile terminator so suitable to be fixed on GND point and leaving an hand free.
That is the best explanation and most memorable example of 6000 count I've seen, thanks Denis I'm getting close to placing aliexpress orders to Canada again:)
I have one of these (with different branding), seemingly works OK (haven't used it much), but the battery compartment is life threatening. I use it with the battery cover taped over with kapton tape. *Don't ever use this on mains.* Zero creepage protection, no interleaving plastic lips, if it decides to explode inside, arc flash will bite the users hand. Even sweat from your hand can creep underneath the battery cover, and make a conductive path between the battery and you. Plus the locking peg (the non-springy one) is super thin, about 0.5mm, it will probably break upon the first drop if the battery hits the cover. The TS20A seems much better in this regard, but it has lower specs (only 2000 count, not true-RMS, etc). I'm searching for a meter with the housing of TS20, but with the specs of this one...
first of all, I appreciate you taking the time to post this comment wondering if (different branding) is same as this ANENG 2008 since the battery cover seems fairly secure on this unit I'm really liking this tool and am not sponsored to say so...
@@theGADGETSplaylist I'll take a look at mine this weekend, but they seem 100% identical, at least their casings. Mine came from Banggood almost 2 years ago I think. I honestly don't remember its brand, it might be unbranded. I see the same problems with the battery holder and its cover of your Aneng. Yes, it is secure in terms that it won't fall off on its own, but not safe electrically, due to the reasons mentioned in my first comment. Sorry but this Aneng is a death trap on mains. For low voltage and automotive stuff, it is OK. I don't remember how well the continuity tester works on it. I just found the next one to try: BSIDE Z5. 6000 counts and True RMS like this Aneng, but looks very well engineered, it has a safe-looking casing and battery compartment. It is slim, but looks quite a bit longer, because it takes 2x AAA batteries. I just bought one right now out of curiosity. It's on discount now for $12 and free shipping! And I'm also not sponsored either to promote them :) . I have no idea how good or how bad it really is. Just saw a couple test videos, I'm not impressed with its continuity tester and not convinced about its accuracy, but I'll find out when it arrives. For this price, it's a nice gamble.
That's really nice, I would try to make it rechargeable if I had it, converted my normal multimeter after I got sick of changing batteries especially because it was 9V
This seems to be a nice DMM too: ruclips.net/video/KncA1O3sTzs/видео.html but I also like the Aneng, especially it’s pen shape. Nice to hear your voice again Dennis! 😁
The fact that the display is in your hand rather than wherever the multimeter is makes it worth having
especially when measuring voltage drops across fuses, I would think

Once again another great video. Ty Dennis.
thanks Jesse

yeah, the migration is about to begin...be safe:)
Very handy in the automotive world ! you can see your measurements without breaking your neck in tight spaces Thanks !
Thanks for the clear and indepth review of this multimeter! Ordered one after seeing your review!
I like this tool Denis and I like the explanation about the counts! Thank you for sharing!
thanks for your comment:)
Bonjour , merci pour la presentation de ce gadget que j ai mis dans mon panier
salut Stephane:)
Nice tool, this will make testing our projects more easy💪🏽🤝
thx Ramon
Looks like it would be pretty nifty for voltage drop on fuses.
I came so close to making that point in the video. I agree, having the display close to where we're focused on the fuse should be an asset
Good to see ya back n doing good.
thx Jim
I always watch your vids. U r one smart cookie!!
nice to hear from you Bill:)
This meter is something I would carry daily if I was still doing maintenance.
Regarding Aneng ANENG A3008, if you put this into diode mode and there is a short, will it make a beep noise?? Thanks
yes, it beeps
@@theGADGETSplaylist thanks 😊

@@mrnmrn1 do let me know what you think of it when it arrives:)
Would be convenient for going along a circuit doing voltage drop test
my thoughts exactly, Mark

I haven't owned it long to enough to know, but I suspect that AAA battery won't go far, Mohamed
The phase sequence feature looks pretty useful .
I didn't mention it in the video, but come to think of it in your line of work, I'm sure it would come in handy
Neat package. Think I have the same wee Boost Buck converter. Imagine…6V from a 20V battery pack. What a world we live in 😀 Cheers Denis 👍
@@TheGibby3340 great time to be alive:)
pretty solid little meter
it is!
thx Alex
You could just pull that pen apart and desolder the LED light (or just cut a leg off) --- and get longer battery life.
AAA battery seems to hold up reasonably well in use contrary to my initial fears
Nice
tks good price

I was under the weather with a flu. Am back on my feet and have energy to create content. Thanks, Eduard
