The original probes broke on me, so I replaced them with some parrot clips on silicon leads which suits data logging well (clip the leads on, and leave it running). I now predominantly use it as a data logging meter using software I’ve developed. You may have seen it briefly in my transistor / component tester review video. The Protek 608 still has many advantages over the Fluke 116, such as dual display and RS-485 data output. I’ve found it be be an excellent meter and was my go-to until I purchased a Fluke 116 a few years later. This DMM was also rebadged and sold as the Voltcraft VC 608. This multimeter is now discontinued and no longer available new, although they occasionally show up on the second-hand market from forums and eBay. I’ve owned one of these since about 2009. The Protek 608 is a 5000 count digital multimeter made by Hung Chang, who have since changed their name to GS Instruments.
