The Hioki DT4252 Multimeter Part 1 of 3

The Hioki DT4252 is the second multimeter I have looked at that uses a gas discharge tube as part of the primary protection. Watch as we determine just how robust their front end is.
In this part, the meter is taken apart, functional tested then compared with a few other meters.
Those of you who had asked about testing a Hioki, thanks for being patient.
