The 2030-Cmeasures AC and DC voltage and current, tests diodes, measures resistance, frequency and capacitance and incorporates a continuity beeper. It features autoranging or manual ranging in the voltage and resistance measuring modes, as well as a battery saving auto power off mode. These abilities make the 2030-C useful in the lab, shop, car, or home by the electrician, technician, or hobbyist. Capacitance test to 100μf. Frequency range to 10khz. Duty cycle. Diode check. Continuity beeper. Relative mode. Data / range hold. Low battery indicator. One year warranty. The Model 2030-C features a protective cover with rugged hinge design which can be completely folded back, or form a stand for better viewing. The unique "Power Slot" ensures that you turn your tester off before closing the lid, therefore saving battery life! A handy wrist strap is also included. CE certified | | | Features: | |

 Very solid meter with wonderful supportDec 15, 2008
By Shooter McGavin
PROS:
The case: the plastic is thick ABS. I feel like it could stand up to a lot of abuse.
Display: even though smallish, the display is very clear with good contrast. 3 and 3/4 digits is more than typical for a low cost meter.
Features: In addition to the usual, this measures capacitance (albeit small range), frequency (from a few Hz up to 10kHz), and duty cycle. It is also autoranging in all features.
Firmware/Controls: Layout is simple and straight forward. Nothing stands out as annoying or unusual.
Support: I had a couple of questions about the frequency and duty cycle features. My emails were answered within 24 hours by a senior product designer who not only knew the product but did actual testing of my specific problem to find the answers.
CONS:
There are some quirks with frequency and duty cycle. I eventually discovered that the minimum voltage that can be tested is just shy of 5V, p-2-p. No problem, once you know. Also, the leads need be reversed from what I expected. The frequency readings were spot on; however, the duty cycle appears to be less accurate. I've managed to get anywhere from a 0-2% consistent offset under different test conditions; it's probably most useful for comparing apples to other apples - but this seems to be in line with the duty cycle accuracy of other brands of low cost meters, as well.
Calibration: voltage between 1-20 volts read bit high. I fixed this by opening it and adjusting the upper trim pot. Resistance readings agreed with my other meters.
SUMMARY: Sturdy little pocket multimeter with all the standard features and more, backed by a company that supports their product.

Great for Your Emergency KitMay 13, 2012
By E. Bianchi
I bought two of these meters, years ago, to carry in the tool kits on my motorcycles. The Triplett brand name gave me confidence I was buying good equipment, and I have been justified in my choice. These units are thoughtfully designed, versatile and rugged.
Not so many years ago several features on these Tripletts would have been found only on top-of-the-line professional-use-only multimeters, at breathtaking prices. The prices have come WAY down over the years, but those features are still very desirable. Auto-ranging, digital readout and continuity testing with an audible 'beep' are all wonderful things to have.
You could buy a six-pack of these for little more than $100. That, my friend, is a bargain!

 Not Without IssuesApr 29, 2012
By Rocky Squirrel
Generally, it provided all of the expected functions. I like the switch alignment with the cover slot feature to ensure it's not still powered-on when put away. The little bar-on-a-string, which is meant to pass through the cover slot (when fully open), creating sort of an A-frame stand is a clever idea, but poorly designed (the plastic bar tends to find its way through the slot and the "stand" falls flat). Also, getting the two probes out of their compartment is difficult (use your fingernail) because the two rigid probes/flexible leads don't have quite enough allocated space, which also makes re-insertion of the probes into their storage compartment a challenge in dexterity.

Great GiftMar 26, 2012
By RobinHood
Bought it for someone who wanted a multi-tester but not sure what they needed. This multi-tester has worked great. Individual has commented how great it has worked for him.
