Actron CP7677 Great!
I've used this the past 2 days installing my Viper 3002 Alarm. It's going to help me a lot with this 81 Jeep CJ7 where the past few owners have made a rats nest under the dash and to rewire a lot of things on my vehilce. I've used the voltage, amps, tested diodes, relays and a few other things. Great Buy!

Actron CP7677 Good job.
Had a technician that had this meter and it got water in it. Amazon is the first place I looked. Reasonable price and seller shipped fast. Easy work...Good Job

Actron CP7677 Perfect Item For Beginner
Actron CP7677 Perfect Item For Beginner.
Great Price! Great Product!
I'm currently a student with plans on graduating as a Automotive Engineer. Currently taking Electronic Systems class and this Multimeter was able to do everything I needed to learn; from checking Battery Voltage, Battery drain, checking resistance in fuel injectors, relays, fuses..... All in all this is perfect product for anyone who needs to check electronic systems in their car.

Actron CP7677 Very good for the price
Actron CP7677 Very good for the price.
I was trying to decide between multi-meter and another. This one won the decision by having the RPM and dwell functions on it. I have used it a number of times since receiving it and it works VERY well. Having previously worked in the electronic industry, its response to small voltages isn't as sensitive as much higher priced units. But for the cost it will serve people needing a general meter or one for automotive work quite nicely. I do like the display on screen of which port to plug the leads into for the setting it is on. The manual also gives a nice set of instructions for testing many common sensors on automobiles.

Actron CP7677 satisfied so far
Actron CP7677 satisfied so far.
Satisfied with this unit use as a multimeter. Haven't been able to use it as a diagnostic unit on motorcycle repair. Although I believe can unit can use for evaluating older motorcycle systems, I haven't found the instruction helpful for what I'm trying to do (e.g. tach use on 1 & 2 cylinder engines, or systems with points but no distributors) I might be able to figure these things out eventually by trial and error.

Actron CP7677 GREAT ITEM!
Actron CP7677 GREAT ITEM!
I am a Street rod builder and do all of my own mechanical, electrical and body work. This is the second one of these that I have bought. It is a easy meter to use and has the tach/dwell function for tuning the early cars (pre computer) I think this is a must for guys building old cars. I am also happy with the price I payed.

Actron CP7677 Automotive TroubleShooter
Actron CP7677 Automotive TroubleShooter
My requirement is a hand held engine analyzer for ignition points
on a motorcycle engine. This tester meets all my requirements
for tuning a motorcycle engine and trouble shooting.
I recommend this instrument highly.
Actron CP7677 Automotive TroubleShooter Excellent tool.
Well made and heavy enough to feel right. The dial has good well defined detents and the manual is well writen. Well worth the purchase price.
Actron CP7677 Automotive TroubleShooter Great Tool.
I've been having issues with my alternator lately not charging my battery. The alternator is just a year old, and my battery is 4 years old. Thought it might be a bad voltage meter. I finally decided to view digital multimeter and analyzers at Amazon. I read the reviews on this particular model and found it quite favorable. I received it very quickly and gave it a try. Come to find out the alternator wasn't charging the battery. This item helped me out a lot. My mechanic checked it out and told me it was a very good investment. I would highly recommend this product for their car or home use.

Actron CP7677 REVIEW
Actron CP7677 way better than harbor freight's.
bought for tachometer use
harbor freight version: take reading, multiply by 50 & divide by number of cylinders, i'm not joking! (had to call them this isn't in the manual) and it has a selector for cylinders.
actron version: multiply reading by 10
also includes manual on how to troubleshoot engine sensors. has been very helpful.
highly recommended for any shadetree mechanic!
Actron CP7677 Good as advertised.
I has a lot of options, i comes with a very well explained manual with photos of about anything you can do in your car (and it's a lot of tests) and with this cocodrile clips, a has to be tool if you are in the do it yourself clan, reminder! doesn't measure any AC voltage or amps, only DC.
Actron CP7677 Great, with two minor flaws.
I had been eyeing this multimeter for a while, and when it went on sale for half its list price, I grabbed it. It arrived promptly and works very well. The unit has a solid feel to it and the blue rubberized case around it and the "stand" behind are good features to have when working around places where it might get bumped like in the engine compartment. I found the included alligator clips a useful bonus - a lot many of the ones in the mid thirties price range don't have this.
Two minor flaws - it needs a 9 volt battery and doesn't ship with one. That was a minor annoyance - not many people have these just lying around the house. Why not design the meter using AA batteries or just ship it with a 9V battery?
Second is that there is no sticky film protecting the (rather large) LCD display. For a meter that is meant for harsh outdoor environments in which it might get scratched, this is definitely an oversight.
But overall I am pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it as a solid entry level multimeter.
Actron CP7677 Automotive TroubleShooter VOM for classic car.
This will perform any test a neophyte electrician will do. The instruction manual is well written and understandable. Instructions provided for most ignition tests of classic cars and sensor testing of newer cars.
Actron CP7677 Automotive TroubleShooter Good deal.
I'm a big fan of the high-end Flukes so I've worked with the best. Well, these defintitely aren't the best, but you can't beat what you get for the price. I got it for my brother for his car and it does the job well.
First, the bad:
1. No auto shut-off. You gotta make sure you turn it off or the battery will just keep draining away.
2. No auto-sensing. You gotta set the dial for the range you're looking for. But hey, I like it so much I don't care that I can't be so lazy.
And the good:
1. All the features. You get all the standards PLUS a tach and a dwell-meter! That'll about cover your carbureted cars.
2. Price. You can find multimeters that can't do the extras for the same price and even more. Great bargain.
3. Alligator clips. Simple things but it'd be a pain without them.
Plus, this thing will handle all the home electrical work.
As for the rest: I won't vouch for its durability but Actron is a decent company. They go towards affordable but not junky. The case is made of a light plastic, but it doesn't seem fragile. As for the tolerances, they're not bad:
DC Volts
Range: 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200V
Accuracy : ±(0.5% rdg + 5 dgts)
Range: 1000V
Accuracy: ±(0.8% rdg + 5 dgts)
AC Volts
Range: 2V, 20V, 200V
Accuracy : ±(0.8% rdg + 5 dgts)
Range: 750V
Accuracy: ±(1.0% rdg + 4 dgts)
DC Current
Range: 200mA
Accuracy: ±(0.8% rdg + 5 dgts)
Range: 10A
Accuracy: ±(1.2% rdg + 5 dgts)
Resistance
Range: 200 , 2K , 20K , 200K , 2M
Accuracy: ±(0.8% rdg + 5 dgts)
Range: 20M
Accuracy: ±(1.5% rdg + 5 dgts)
Dwell
Range: 4CYL, 6CYL, 8CYL
Accuracy: ±(3.0% rdg + 5 dgts)
RPM
Range: 4CYL, 6CYL, 8CYL
Accuracy: ±(3.0% rdg + 5 dgts)
Audible Continuity
Buzzer sounds at approximately less
than 30-50 Ohms.
So for the price, a good deal.
