Multimeter ... 2 for one offer ... Maplin

And only 6 squid. I got 2 last time they were 2 for 1. Very useful - and very accurate, surprisingly! I recommend you get a spare set of probe leads, though, the ends fall off after a bit.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes they do. I bought a "Universal 4mm test lead kit" a pair of leads with screw fittings on the end that accept various prods, clips and spade terminals. Cost more than the meter IIRC! Normally though I use an extra long pair of leads that I made up with two 4mm plugs some "extra flexible " wire and two croc clips.
