multimeter and strobe light

Post by redliner »

Just about to purchase a new multimeter and strobe light for use on my GT185/250. Anybody able to suggest a 'best buy' for each? Thanks

My strobe light is a Draper. Not expensive. Plenty of use on my MG Midget. Never used it on the GT550.

Thanks gents - these are the two items I'm looking at. Would they get a thumbs-up?

That's the same strobe that I have. Always been good. I would personally go for a digital multimeter. I prefer the digital readout.

I use one of these, as recommended by our own AlanH. I’ve had mine years and never had to change the batteries yet :roll:

Too complicated for Alan H. This might suite him better
