Pete at best that is a Digital Multi meter, so if you are using it for a maintenance job testing switches and motor currents it's OK . It is useless for installation testing as it can't produce the 200 mA for continuity test or 500v for insulation testing, measure loop impedance or RCD testing . For this you need a Multi Function tester

Crikey, what have I unleashed? when you post something serious and some folk don't agree, they ask "are you joking" when you try and post a humorous post folk take it serious.

Yeah pete...... It's all your fault..... Hope you are happy..... (I love you still <3 )
I was more interested in the product myself.... A bit gutted its looking like a bag of poo....
 
I would consider using one as a replacement for a multimeter, or even a voltage tester or continuity tester.
Would be worried about battery life though.
