Why do you need multimeters?

Why do you need multimeters?

To measure stuff pretty much, Ohms, continuity, Voltage DC and AC.
helps troubleshoot, and make sure you are doing stuff right

 

[Shank]

Why do you need multimeters?

Quite litterally everything. When working with electronics, your multimeter is just as essential as your eyeballs.
