Let's Get New Multimeters

So I’m thinking we should get rid of our collection of shitty, dead multimeters and replace them with something decent. A lot of our meters end up with dead batteries and they’re so varied that even if you got a battery for them it’s not guarunteed it’ll work afterwards.

Let’s get some of http://www.mektronics.com.au/test-measurement/multimeters/uni-t-handheld-auto-ranging-digital-multimeters.html

They’re $30.50, auto off, auto ranging, and do temp AND have a rubber jacket. Literally the $50 digitech from jaycar, but $30. I’d suggest getting at least 2, maybe 4.

YES!

I will make a meter holder station so they have a home to go back to :slight_smile: So they get treated well and don’t get lost.
