Can you get your money back?  Then get yourself a Brymen or even a UNI-T.

Edit: It seems they are actually a German company out of Bremen.  That looks suspiciously like a stenciled cheap Chinese meter.

If you don't mind y asking, how much was it?

Yes, I will get my money back. I paid 120 US, and now its at 178 US.

That's a very disappointing pricing policy. Are they considered a reputable company, otherwise?

That is exactly what 'Monacor' does. Since about 40years. Throwing the cheapest and crappiest electronics at customers mainly in the German speaking area. Although there are exceptions. Their dipmeter was not much worse than the other eastern makes and they sold a simple resistance decade with slide switches for 50.- when even the 'NBN' range of mini-decades did not exist for 10years. You have to look at least twice at everything bearing that name. The only multimeter that I've seen from them until now was such an Volts, Ohms, and DC250mA thing with jacks that were neither 2.3 nor 2mm. Yuck. But round here, known yuck.

In one of Dave's videos 12 years ago, he showed a meter from Extech that looks very familiar to the Monacor...if not the same.
He was also not very impressed with the board layout, or the meter in general. So many things wrong with it.

If it has solder and bite marks then the calibrator was having a bad day.  :-DD

I've seen the dyke bites in shunt wires for decades, but this is the first I've seen of the solder blobs. It doesn't take much imagination to visualize the value changing each time it got warm enough to soften or melt the solder.

It's called "adaptive resistance"   :popcorn:
