Some recommended examples of their best sellers:
MSR-P600

Products
Etekcity Multimeters
They sell mostly entry-level multimeters, such as the MSR-P500, which will mainly appeal to hobbyists and home improvement DIYers. However, they are also good enough to provide reliable service in the automotive industry as well as in light industry.
They also provide full auto-ranging DMMs like the MSR-U1000, which can measure AC and DC current circuits. Theirs are some of the best value meters on the market, usually ranging from under $20 to around $40. They give exceptional value for money and, although they cannot fully compare with a Fluke meter, are quite rugged by construction.
Other Measuring Devices
Along with test meters, Etekcity also produces amp clamp meters and digital multimeter battery testers, as well as non-contact laser thermometers. All are well priced.
