I’m 48 so I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I always have to seek guidance in electrical matters. This is hands-down the best instructional video for what for me is a difficult subject. Thank you!
I’m glad I was able to help. I try my hardest to simplify each of my videos so that everyone can understand them. Even if they don’t know anything on the topic. Thanks for watching.
Don’t feel bad bro I’m right there with you lol
All good man, same here and I've been in maintenance for 20 years
Dont Feel bad im 55 with à bs in electronics engineering and never been given à job in thé field and i still dont know nothin. Lol
Dont feel bad im 43 and still dont get much lol
One of the best of all instructive vids I've used, in wide variety of subjects. (That would be hundreds)
Dude, you're the first person to ever successfully explain to me the difference between amps and volts. I've asked so many people, and it's never sunk in. Thank you
I agree! Electricity was really mindbending for me. When he said about volts and if a 12 volt battery is reading under it may need charging i think i understood it. I remember my physics teacher saying it's potential energy. POTENTIAL ENERGY! Yup you can keep saying the same words but it doesn't help me!
With this explanation i thought of voltage as a glass of water. If only half full i potentially have half a drink. So a 12v battery reading 6 volts has only half the POTENTIAL energy it would if it was fully charged. I think i understand it better after this video. I'm now going around the house testing batteries 😁🤣
What about watts?
The best teachers always seem to be those who enjoy giving information to others, rather than showing how much they know and you don’t. This video was short, simple and full of enthusiasm. Before this video I watched one that was long, boring and left me more confused. Thank you, I now know what I’m capable of.
Thank you for you kid words. I designed this channel to help others and I’m always glad to hear when my videos (that I make on my free time) have help someone.
Got to be a professor somewhere look for the class that is asleep
This is exactly the video that I needed. Very well presented and broke down to laymen's terms making it easy to understand. You have to walk before you can run. Thank you.
20 min per day and you'll be a genius
Thanks for a great video! Very to the point and simple. I find that if I haven't had any electrical projects in a while it's good to do a quick refresher and this video is perfect for that. All the best!
short and simple explanation on HOW TO USE THE MULTI METER. thank you
I have been searching for a good multimeter video for DAYS and until I found yours, I didn’t have any comprehensive explanation. THANK YOU!!!!!
Megan McKee I’m always happy to hear that one of my videos was able in to help someone out. Thanks for watching!
Electricity was a mystery to me at school. I'm 47 and interested in solar so i've decided to start teaching myself right from the basics.
Thanks for this video. It's really useful!
Thank you son for this detailed informative video. I've pulled engines out of cars yet when it comes to "tech", I'm illiterate. Never to old to learn. May the Lord bless you and keep you and your family!
Way To Go Dude!! Very informative and basically simple to grasp for the average layman.
i just told you , fool was wrong from stage one
You have no idea how much I needed this. After the electricians stopped by and put meter on motor wires, and said yep your pool pump is dead. Thats $115 with your senior discount. Thanks, I can now read my own meter that I have owned for years.
I am so happy to hear that. It really means a lot to me when someone tells me that one of my videos was able help them out. Even if I was only able to help one person out the countless hours of putting together these videos would still be worth it to me. Thanks for watching.
Great.i just got this meter free shopping at freight tools. Now I know it’s handy. So are you.👏🏻👌
Absolutely the best simplelist instructional video on how to use a multimeter. Thanks.
Awesome man, I have had this tool in my garage for a few years and never knew the basics. A few minutes with you and I can use the tool. Thanks man
No problem that’s what I am here for. Thanks for watching!
Excellent Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Franaar Shining Shape Formula (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing exclusive product for revealing the secret to repair your electronic devices without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
Excellent straight forward video on how to use a multimeter in plain english. Much appreciated.
Excellent job. Appreciate your detailed, no frills, yet pleasantly spoken instructions. "Subscribed" as soon as your labeling of Volts, & humorous diagram, giving "example explanation" appeared, as you spoke: was evident to me, just as stated: "For Beginners", ...& any instruction you give, is sure to be of value, & easily understood.
((So many "How to Video" instructors, come to camera with apparent "assumptions", of knowledge by their viewers, or possibly: assume a "target audience" & certain, steps & terms: "givens")0, Thank you, for your Beginner post.
This is the best video I have found on mulimeters. All thr question were answered and explained well done. Even I understand
I am glad I was able to help you learn how to use a multimeter. And thank you for watching!
Thank you for educating me, please continue to make these helpful videos. God bless you brother!
I feel like Alfred Einstein after watching this video
I am just starting to learn about electricity and how it works. This video helped me learn how to test batteries and electrical outlets with the multimeter I just bought. Thank you for the info!
I'm starting an electrical class on a couple of days for school and I don't know anything, literally anything about multimeters and this helps to get me started
Well I’m glad I was able to help you out some... good luck on your class and thanks for watching
Good job young man. 👍 you teached an old dog a few new tricks 👴 keep up the good work
Love the video. I've been doing industrial so alot of the technical residential stuff I forget at times. Appreciate your work
Man!! The best tutorial ever, now I can use my new multimeter easily thanks bro!!
CAP
@@TexasCruisin 😂😂
great video! thank you! Little piece of production advice: you might want to move your key light, it's reflecting in your glasses and blowing out the exposure. Keep up the great work!
What a cool kid. It is great to see a young guy like this enthusiastic about things like this. Also, not a bad teacher.
Great video. Thanks!!! I had a general idea how to use it but this video helped me fix my own residential a/c
Very well done, Thank You for doing this and posting. 2 Thumbs up!
I’m glad I was able to help you out. Thanks for the 2 thumbs up and for watching!
Thank you sir for a very informative and simple way of teaching, it is rare that you find a knowledgeable and gifted person who can teach on all levels. God bless and keep up the good work!!!
Thanks man. I just started my first day of college for electrical skills. Super helpful!
Best technical video I've ever seen , it had no fat.
What a beneficial video. You kept it simple so it was easy to understand especially explanation of what the symbols means and where this applies. Thankyou very much for taking the time to produce this great video
Great video man tons of work out into this!!
I've watched a few videos on the difference between volts, amps, ohms and watts. Only this video actually explained that you need a volt to carry an amp through 1 ohm of resistance and everything makes much more sense now. Great video. Subscribed
Jacques Krause that’s why I made this video. I noticed a lot of videos out there don’t teach you about what you are measuring and to know what you should be testing for. I know I didn’t touch base on watts, that’s because that’s a whole other ball game, which I still need to learn more about. I am glad you enjoyed the video... thanks for watching
Agreed! The cartoon he used was so helpful too! I’ll probably always remember it with the cartoon now
Thanks so much for posting this! I'm 59 and just learning how to use a multimeter. God bless you and yours. Merry Christmas 😊
Thank you so much for watching. It’s always nice to hear that all my hard work putting these training videos together help someone out. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I showed this to my 16 year old nephew who was confused in class about volts, watts and ohms. He is no longer confused, and easily understood your lessons. He's testing everything! haha
I so happy to hear I was able to help. Hopefully he does well in his class.
Thanks much!!!!! Now I can fix my dryer! God bless!
Michael Mallon what kind of question is that? How is someone supposed to answer that question if you didn’t say what’s wrong with your dryer? Make? Model?
Its a great help to understand this multimeter . Thanks a lot mate
MAGS thank u sooooo much. God blessed you 👍👍👍👍
Victoria H you’re welcome... and thanks for watching!
Just got my first multimeter, Very good info here !!! Thanks
Great video. In school becoming an electrician and this video is great, simple, informative, and easy to understand.
Lots of good information - not that i can follow all of it but you seem to know what you are talking about - good job and thanks!
Thank you so much that helped so much I couldn't understand the symbols and you did THANK YOU!
Thank you for the comment. I always love hearing that my videos helped.
You said GOD bless, I said, I'm subscribing to support my fellow believer. Thanks for the knowledge brother.
@Lock Down no
@Lock Down you don't understand, yet you foolish think that everything came from nothing,
You’re a good teacher very easy to understand thank you
I'M SCREAMING THANK YOU!!
I'm a State Licensed Journeyman Electrician with over 52 years in the Trade as a Residential & Commercial Electrical Tech and I have never worn gloves when using My Multimeters for any kind of test !!!
This is awesome! Thanks the tutorial! Stay blessed!
Not only was the audio clear, you were also concise, relevant & informative. This video is an excellent example of how to make a "How-To" video.
*There were just a few parts of the video where the subject object was was not lit well... several times your meter's front panel was difficult to see (seems to be a result of the meter's design). Also, the battery test was difficult to see with ease... the stud holes you used were hidden in shadow. I only point these out because your video was so damn excellent, that it's worth pointing them out. These small items are just spit and polish, whereas most RUclips videos start off with a swan dive into the fail pool and never come back up.
spambaconspamspam thanks for taking the time to critique the video and give me some helpful feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully it helped you out. I remember when I first started putting this video together. If I recall it took me 18 hours to put it together. I find that using my free time to help others out is more valuable and worth while. And as a bonus I get to do what I love (Make Videos). If you really enjoyed this video, which it sure sounds like it (if you haven’t already) feel free to help me out by Liking, Subscribing, and Sharing this video. That and feel free to check out some of my others. Thanks again for the feedback!
Thanks for helping me to stop shocking myself as much! Also great information on how to use meters!
Thank you easy, simple and with safety in mind awesome video. Informative and to the point.
Thanks a lot... Simple and straightforward
Just what I needed, Thank you!
Rick Heumann glad I could help! Thanks for picking my video.
Thank you so much. Crystal clear explanation.
Its good vid but dark
Great video, really helpful thanks.
Informative and to the point. Thank you, bro. From Somalia, East Africa. Helps me a lot.
Awesome video, thanks bro. God bless you too😊🤗
Thank you , just thank you , nobody does videos about where to set up leads before measurement
Nice video, I got my first day of work next week in a Lighting Studio and asked me if I know how to use the Multimeter and I just said YES to everything and I had no clue. XD
Well good luck with your first day at work... feel free to reference my video anytime you need a refresher. Thanks for watching!
Thumbs 👍 for the video and submission to say thanks. I appreciate the help!
Had to watch this 3 times before I got it. Don't be deterred people. This becomes super easy when you get it.
Thanks for the great video! right to the point and simple.
Super Job!! This should be a required lesson for all High School graduates....
Honestly.. im over here trying to understand this myself
Along with changing a car tire and how to mail a letter!
Thanks great explanation
Except they dont want us to be independent, the only thing we have is the people who take us in, and the people we try to learn of, doesnt mean that person is peoples parentes cus i see many parrents not giving a fuck about their child, which they easily could learn how to be badass, fuck this school shit, home educate! You know whats best for ur children, take responsibility or they Will abandon you in your shit, gear up for this new shit world, its way ahead of ud
God bless you for your videos! You are an angel.
He is right on point every good this will help others. Glad I'd stopped by God bless
that was a more informative video than most, real life applications.
Very good explanation. I watched several other videos before your’s, and you gave the best and most direct explanation. Thanks.
nice video, just got my first tester!!
The exact video i needed!
Thanks for this. Very informative
Tanks for an simple teaching! Zblessings
Thanks that was very helpful. God bless you too.
thankyou for getting to the point helped a great deal!!
Very helpful-Thanks
Excellent how to video. Explained in a way that anyone could understand. Subscribed for more "How To Vids" !
045velocity thank you for watching!
Very informative, and well done. Thank you.
V with the squiggly line is for AC (wall plugs), V with a straight line above 3 dots is for DC(batteries).
Why on earth did it take 1 1/4hour, 8 or 9 videos, the useless Klein tool pdf manual and several cuss words to get this simple bit of info?!?!
Thank you kind sir.
Ralph Phillips I am glad I was able to help by answering some of your questions. Thanks for watching!
Excellent job teaching, I just got a dc meter and I’m trying to learn how to be a electrician.
Well thanks for watching my video feel free to use it as a reference if you ever need help. I know it only covers the basics but over all it helps point people in the right direction.
Purchase the book
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE !!!
Ty! Useful & helpful
Great video! Thanks!
Great info. and tips like using an insulated glove when testing outlets. I liked the graphics. To make it even better, lose the distracting music, improve the lighting and slow down just a little. Very informative though so great job!
You are awesome! I enjoyed this from start to finish
Thank you
I totally agree with you Mark! The demonstrations and explanations are concise, while at the same time being thorough and easily understood. I saw a number of other multimeter videos which seemed very refined yet were more confusing than helpful. This instructional video is dinitely the best one out there !! (no I am not a fan, nor do I know this gentleman & have never seen any other of his videos).
Ed Montejo, M.D.
Raul Montejo thanks for your comment I’m glad to hear that you found this video helpful! Thanks again for watching.
very helpful thank you!
Great video! THX :-)
Thanks for the video!!
You know ,back in he old days before RUclips instructions I could turn on a multimeter and rotate the dial but I was and still pretty much clueless about how to use it on electrical devices. That is what the beginner needs
Thank you so much. This is so helpful.
Great Tips, Good Stuff 👍 Thanks!
This was the best video on electronics and meters, thanks for the video
I’m so glad to hear I was able to help. Thanks for watching
Beautiful! I've learnt more from you
I am happy I was able to help tech you something. If you end up having any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! Very helpful! God bless you!
Hey man you did a good job just careful you might confuse people. There are no negative or positive in AC it’s alternating current, also on the outlet black your hot is on the right it’s the smaller slice on the outlet and neutral is on your left. No negative or positive. But you reinforced me about other stuff thanks man good job
You are correct... When I was putting together this video I tried to think about the easiest way to explain it. I figured since I had just finished talking about DC I would compare AC to it in a similar way since this was meant to be a beginner video. I agree I should have just explained it the way you did in this comment. However, I think in the long run the video does a good job helping people understand the basics. Thanks for watching
Just bought one today
I put up 3 Kidde Alarms yesterday and didn't have this tool..
This Video is better than Math Class Advanced
Thanks for uploading
Enjoyed the video. Thank you
Great video, thanks for the tips.
Love it! God bless you too!
Thanks. Great beginning for me.
