Yeah. I think that is what they're trying to say. The same meter is on Aliexpress and it says "bid farewall bullshit" (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mestek-CM80-CM81-digital-clamp-meter-pinza-digital-multimetre-pince-multimeter-current-clamp-dc/32873403538.html)

Well at least they show you the innards, so you immediately see that its crap without actually buying one and taking it apart. That goes to show, how considerate they actually are.

That was my first thought too. Not so much the crap bit, but that they let the buyer decide.

I noticed this quite a lot with cheap multimeters in the last couple of months. I guess those images are there make to make the appear more techy or professional to less savvy customers.
