This review evaluates the Neoteck TS20D 3‑in‑1 pen-type multimeter (~$25), highlighting its 6000-count resolution, CAT II 600V rating, large LCD, built-in LED, and included accessories, along with broad functionality (AC/DC voltage, resistance, diode test, non-contact voltage, capacitance, ambient temperature, frequency, and live/phase sequence identification) but no amperage measurement; with listed accuracy of ±1% (AC) and ±0.8% (DC), it’s recommended as a durable, accurate, budget-friendly choice for DIYers and is favored over the far pricier Pokit Pro for most routine tasks.
