No Fred, if you use the 200 ohm range it get`s right down to tenths of an ohm, perfect for coils    I have the same one sitting in front of me.

Hmm, well it looks just like mine (well, my mates that I've borrowed), although it's branded 'Silverline', and it only measures in whole ohms on 200 range - never been a problem for me 'till now, as ive never needed to measure anything so low.

The spec on ebay says that that one measures tenths on the 200 range, so should be OK.

Time to return my mates, and get me a good one.

Sorry for any confusion, theinhaler.

Nice little meter, does it actually have a backlight, and is that a rubber type shroud around it?, the stand bit is handy as well kirrielad

Not sure where me mate got it? Looks about the same as the ebay one, but must be slightly different! Or, knowing my mate, he's busted it up in some way!

I was worried as Ive got gear coming to rewick my EVOD and Vision Ego, but no meter to accurately measure the resistance.
I'll probably get that one from ebay, coz I can send it back if its not tenth resolution.
