Video Summary & Review
This is the complete tutorial and review of the Klein Tools MM325 Digital Multimeter! 🛠️

As a manual ranging multimeter, we walk through the crucial concept of selecting the correct range to get the highest resolution and most accurate measurement (the "microscope" analogy) [05:42]. We cover every test setting, from AC/DC Voltage and Resistance (Ohms) to Diode testing and DC Amperage (Current) measurement.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: The continuity test on this specific unit showed an inconsistent tone [09:00]. This review provides an honest look at the performance of the MM325 and its value proposition.
