Wall-powered tester (especially continuity)

(1/1)

Hi all. This may be an unsual ask but I'll give it a shot. Can anyone think of a continuity tester like this:

- compact
- wall-powered
- no battery, no notification that the battery is running out, no auto-off to conserve battery

I spend a lot of my free time reverse engineering PCBs. My environment is usually the couch. The problem I come up against, is my volt meters have batteries that seem to go out very quickly. The majority of the time they sit there unused, but when I need to do a test, I want it to be ready to go. Usually I have to rotate the dial, press a button, put the leads together to make sure it's working. And on top of that, the meter has a battery timeout; basically it will start beeping telling me to turn it off, and will even turn itself off eventually. This is borderline infuriating to me  :-DD

On the other hand I don't want a giant lab table setup on the end table, here, either.

Huh. This OWON one on Amazon may do.

Edit: Just bought. Let's see.

I read the manual and it has wall power, can disable auto-off, and does continuity test with a beep.
