Is there a meter that you don't prick yourself

Yes it's a very good meter -- excellent quality. I found that the beep volume when testing conductivity was too low for my old ears though.

I will look to see if they sent me one. They may not have. In the mean time Google, "how to use an analog multi meter"

No. And I know of no way a DMM could. Only clamp type meters do that and as far as I know their use is limited to AC.

No- you need to use the specific test strips-ACCU-CHEK Aviva Plus 50 test strips. I think each machine is a little different. I LOVE this meter- so well worth the investment.

Yes, you can check the function of a diode with any ANALOG meter. The needle should swing only one way as you reverse the leads, because a good diode only conducts (current flow) in one direction. If you switch the leads (while on a low resistance scale) the meter should not "conduct", swing up if it did when they leads were reversed.This has been a good meter for me.

No. It turns out it is more of an industrial style meter. Handles big stuff. I got it for my son in aviation maint school. Had to get a second "tester" style meter for him to test electronic components with.

Agree with John Schanben's answer, You can trouble shoot a circuit for breaks or shorts with a less expensive meter. If you like the advanced features, its a great deal. If you are doing basic continuity and readings, shop a little. I've got a few ten dollar to twenty dollar meters that are good for basic stuff.

They have a kit you can buy that includes meter, 25 strips and the blood prick. Just look and you will find one for about $10 that's all you need.

It is an excellent multi-meter, but if you need temperature measurement option it is not the one you want.

I have this meter and I do use it every day. As a matter of fact I have three. I love that it takes a wheel and the wheel has ten test strips on it. However, I can't vouch for its accuracy. I have taken my blood one right after the other with two different meters and they are as much as 20 points different. I still use it though.

No!! Use it inside. There are some things I think are lacking on this meter. But when I check my system the first thing I check is the voltage and amps on this meter. I have several meters that are always on. This one is the easiest. Dan

yes, meter does not work very well, used for about 4 months and never was accurate, stopped using

To be honest this meter never works right. It always gives me crazy readings. I've never bee able to trust it. I would return it if I could. WWW.hiselconstruction.com

After checking the manual I think the answer is no. There is wording in the manual:"To measure current, you must break the circuit under test, then place the Meter in series with the circuit." There is a clamp on style attachment. Of course that would only measure large Current Flows. Other replies seem to say there MAY be a special probe for small current values.

No, a meter is not required. Depending upon your source of energy a meter maybe required by the supplier

No you cannot, if you feel like doing so just apply a little pressure occasionally so it wont turn off on you while your measuring.
