Equus 3340 Multimeter VERY GOOD.

Equus 3340 Multimeter VERY GOOD.
Great looking and working DMM, that everyone who does automotive repair should have. By far it is not top of the line but it's a good inexpensive tool that you can use to get a lot of use out of. I use it at least once a week whether it's checking for draw, battery voltage, alternator charge voltage, etc. It takes a bit longer to get a stable reading but if you're patient it'll automatically find the right reading.

Equus 3340 Multimeter Great DMM for the price.

Equus 3340 Multimeter Great DMM for the price.
I've worked with, played with, designed, built, repaired and cussed at electrical and electronic devices for over half a century and have used some very good test equipment along the way, but test equipment has came a long way since I picked up my first analog meter back in the '50s and this little jewel does what the best meters money could buy just a few years ago could do, and costs only a fraction of what they did, and many still do.

The meter is designed with the needs of an automobile mechanic in mind, but I use it for an electric Golf Cart and it works very well for that purpose as well as numerous other things around the house.

Very satisfied with it and will recommend to family and friends.

Equus 3340 REVIEW

Equus 3340 Good Value.
Have only used it three time so far, but works great. I like the reverse polarity feature that displays a minus sign.


It's a great product with many uses. Test anything from batteries to antifreeze potency with this meter.

Equus 3340 works well.
I use the thing almost exclusively for reading DC voltage drops and temperatures. Current and more elaborate automotive stuff is not my thing. For my purposes the unit is probably an overkill, but the price is low so why not. Voltages are read fine. It takes some time for the reading to stabilize; I think that is because of the autoranging, but once again for my purposes it doesn't matter. Temperature readings taken with a third party immersible probe appear to be reasonably accurate; thermostats that I've tested opened just when they were supposed to, and coolant temperatures taken by the OBD coolant sensor and by the probe are within 5 degrees.
I've paid about as much to McMaster for a set of modular test leads and a number of various tips - hooks, alligators, pincers... Test leads with permanently attached needle tips included with this multimeter have only a very limited number of applications.

Equus 3140 Automotive Digital Multimeter Works Great.
I was hesitant to get this due to the negative review a buyer left about Dwell/Tach functions not working on his old volkswagens. HOWEVER ... I decided to purchase it and try it out for myself.

I have a 78 VW Bus (points ignition) and I just checked my dwell to see if the dwell feature functioned correctly. I hooked everything up, as per the instructions in the manual, and it worked fine.

The negative review could have been user error, or it could have been a bad unit, but *MINE* works great. I will be buying the Equus 5568 Pro-Timing Light with Tool Case in the very near future to complete my tuneup needs.

Comes with: The multimeter itself, Instructions (please read them), a nice nylon storage pouch, test leads, Temp. Probe, and a clamp style lead for ignition wires etc.

Do yourself a favor and order yourself some Test Lead Alligator Clips when you purchase this, they are not included and VERY handy to have.

The multimeter has all you need and then some. Professional grade and all settings wanted for 12v testing. I especially like the auto range function which takes the guess work out of some testings.
