The 179 true-rms Multimeter has the features needed to find the most electrical and HVAC problems. It’s simple to use with significant improvements over the original. This particular 179 has more measurement functions, conformance to the latest safety standards and a much larger display that's easier to view. Also it can withstand transient impulses in excess of 8000 V to help protect you from arc blasts resulting from surges and spikes. This combo kit includes the following: silicone test leads, industrial test probes, heavy-duty alligator clips, integrated temperature probe, and a non-contact voltage tester, all included in a soft side case.
