  • This isn't a tutorial how to use a multimeter....... THIS IS MOST OF THE ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ON PROPERLY HANDLING ELECTRICITY/ELECTRONICS AND I'M GRATEFUL BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS THIS.
  • @Beegs164
    Seriously spent 2-years trying to figure this out as hobbiest. Much appreciated for making this!
  • @tomfish1285
    The absolute best instruction on a meter I've ever seen.
  • @GigasAhriman
    Hey Engineering Mindset. Just wanted to say I seriously love this video. I'm starting from the absolute beginning and your tutorial is easy to understand yet thorough. I was watching a tutorial from a different channel and I noticed the comments had some safety-related concerns so I searched again and found this. I feel like I'm learning an actual life skill. Not going to be an electrical engineer lol, but this will help to identify if* something is still live or reading correctly. Thank you all so much for making this
  • @benhurley280
    This is gold! Would love a fault finding with a multi meter in a control panel video. Thanks for this video 👍🏻
  • @orbepa
    Loving you vids. I'm an IT guy and got into electrics a bit more recently since having solar panels. Now I am tinkering with changing lights etc in my workshop. Your series is brilliant for giving me the basics. I've now ordered a multimeter and bought your pdf - thank you
  • @freestyla101
    I learnt more from this video than I have from every other video I’ve watched on the subject.
  • @hugebartlett1884
    This must be the best multimeter instruction video I have ever seen!
  • @davyboy380
    Very informative and easily understood for a novice like myself. The safty factors included are a great way to go..thanks.
  • @MyArmHurtsBad
    Your hard work is impressive. You made it so easy to understand
  • @useless2825
    i am so happy you made this video. I'm a visual learner and the teacher wasn't showing us a single example for the entire 6 hr class. I was confused for so long on just trying to find the right signal to use
  • @jboy6944
    A video I didn’t know I needed. God bless you Paul!
  • Finally, I found a tutorial that actually makes sense of how to use a multimeter. What a great tutorial I've watched several tutorials on multimeters and have found them difficult and confusing to understand but this tutorial is clear precise and easy to grasp, thank you so much for making this available. man you nailed it.
  • @elka8980
    One of If not the greatest learning video on multi meter testing and fault finding.. brilliant and concise
  • @Bravo-ry9st
    It is amazing that of all the videos I have watched, yours is the most detailed that is explained in simple terms we can understand. GREAT WORK !!!
  • @HearMeLearn
    bro this is like a masterclass level tutorial on how to use a multimeter, if I ever forget literally anything about them I can just look at this video
  • @1975Loeven
    An excellent tutorial! I do especially like the symbolic descriptions on how the components and circuitry works. I´m mostly self taught and had snapped up bits and pieces here and there over a couple of decades, but always find it fun to repair electronics so a decent multimeter is essential. I own 4 at the moment for various use and/or ranges, both manual and automatic meters. Basically use them for voltage, ohms, capacitance, Hz or continuity.
  • @DonovanBrown
    This is the best multimeter content I have found online. Thank you so much I learned a ton.
  • @nefariousyawn
    YES. I just splurged on the fanciest multimeter that I have ever owned and was about to look for some video walkthroughs about what I can do with it. This Old Tony made a great video about them years ago, but it left me with more questions than answers.
