I like the big LCD displays that people with aging eyes can read without a strain.
There is something to be said for reading the manual that came with the tool before you set out to apply it to various items in the car and in the house. If you are new to the tool and don't like reading instructions, buy lots of fuses. Jim

LOL........yes, I can commiserate. I still use the pocket Radio Shack meter (pack of cigarettes) for most of my work. But, I don't actually read the numbers on the meter..........I just estimate where 12V would be (80% of full scale......15V).
My major problem is with sockets.........it's damn near impossible to read the numbers on the sides..........I might have to get a new set of Craftsman with the huge laser marked numbers..........the existing sets are driving me nuts.
