The AN8008 is a small digital multimeter that packs a punch, probably one of the best multimeters at the price range that offers True RMS.
In AC signals, you usually need their root-mean-square (rms) value. A true-rms value indicates the real energy in a waveform, regardless of the waveform's shape.
Although it may have a true RMS feature and 600V CAT III and 1000V CAT II ratings, we recommend this meter for those who are beginners to intermediate hobbyists/students and to professionals and technicians who want an inexpensive secondary meter that is pocket size.
A proper True RMS meter may start around 200$, however for a bit less functionality you can get away with this digital multimeter! This multimeter comes with various items listed below:
