001 stole his picture and posted it as his own.
Modemhead's pictures are also stolen and used without credit in many ebay ads as well.
Why so serious? We just pick first google image for "Harbor Freight multimeter" It is silly to photograph wellknown DMM again
Use of the picture here is fine. However I don't like the idea of someone using them to mis-represent an item for sale on eBay.
The 806.00Ω resistor mounted to a dual banana plug is indeed something I use for quick checks, it plugs right into the input jacks on DMMs with standard spacing, no need to bring test leads into the picture. The value is somewhat arbitrary since I just picked it out of a junk box years ago, and just stuck with it. Any picture you find on the internet of a DMM reading "806" is probably mine.
I've never actually used these type DMMs before, but I do have some around for "science". The progressive
Muntzing of the design is interesting. The last time I was at HF I picked up a free one and was amused to find the maximum voltage indicated is now 250V for AC and DC. No actual design change, of course, just the labeling. Some have even omitted the fuse, but this particular one still has a soldered-in pigtail fuse.
The latest generation of DTM0660-based cheapies really should render these things obsolete.
