Review: Simple analog tester, at a great price - It pays to have a couple of these around. Keep one in the shop, the house and also in the truck tool boxes. They're simple, sturdy quality build, and work for multiple uses Review: Nice unit. - This is a little smaller then I thought it would be. Make sure you check the measurements. Works very well. I use it in the car and smll things around the house. Works very well, it all I need. ## Features - Manual range selection - Easy to read, color-coded analog displays - Includes replaceable test leads and operating instructions - Agency approved with fuse overload protection circuitry incorporated - 15 position rotary dial ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00291X79O | | Best Sellers Rank | #51,932 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #68 in Multi Testers | | Brand | Gardner Bender | | Brand Name | Gardner Bender | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 898 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00032076072995 | | Included Components | Meter, Test Leads, Operating Manual | | Item Dimensions | 1.25 x 2.75 x 4.25 inches | | Item Weight | 4.96 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 1.25 x 2.75 x 4.25 inches | | Lower Temperature Rating | 18 Degrees Celsius | | Manufacturer | Gardner Bender | | Measurement Type | Multimeter | | Model | GMT-318 | | Part Number | GMT-318 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Specification Met | Agency Approved | | Style | 6 Function / 14 Range | | Style Name | 6 Function / 14 Range | | UPC | 032076072995 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gardner Bender - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 0.31 Pounds - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** 6 Function / 14 Range ## Images ![Gardner Bender GMT-318 Analog Multimeter, 6 Function, 14 Range, AC / DC Volt, 500V - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91WqNlZCZFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do u test 110 volts** A: The first thing you should do is find or look up the owners manual on the internet. It will tell you how to use the tester. Where the tester lead cables are inserted. Where to turn the dial to do the specific test. You will find that the leads are inserted in the bottom right and left corners of the tester. The dial is turned so that it points to ACV and 250 to test for 120 volts. Leads are inserted into the outlet and the tester should display 120-125 volts approximately or the midway point on the display. I would find the manual first, read and understand it prior to using it. Electricty is dangerious. **Q: Could I use the standard leads from another meter on this unit⁷** A: If you don't have a direct fit, it should be possible to splice into the plugs that come with this unit. Seems to me that the leads for the analog meters are alike, but I don't know about digital meters. Good luck. **Q: What gauge are the wires?** A: Here is all the info I can find on it....

Any clues?** A: I have the GM-312. It does not have the mirrored scale plate. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple analog tester, at a great price *by T***H on September 5, 2025* It pays to have a couple of these around. Keep one in the shop, the house and also in the truck tool boxes. They're simple, sturdy quality build, and work for multiple uses ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice unit. *by J***A on September 27, 2025* This is a little smaller then I thought it would be. Make sure you check the measurements. Works very well. I use it in the car and smll things around the house. Works very well, it all I need. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice VOM for the price. *by R***N on January 17, 2022* Gone are the days when you could buy a high-quality, low-price Micronta (Radio Shack of yoore) analog VOM. In line with general dumbing-down in our society, analog meters were long ago replaced by digital. Digital meters are the stupidest idea since the Edsel. They work only if the voltage is steady unless they feature filtering in which case the response is slow. And you still get unsteady readings. On top of that, digital meters are subject to aliasing error. Never mind what that means, it can be a disaster if there is noise on top of dc voltages you're tryhing to measure. So today your choice is a $400, 30-year-old, used, beat-up, in doubtful condition Simpson or a new cheapie like this one. (I noticed practically none of the former offered on amazon even promise operability!) I recently bought a similar-looking cheapie which however was vastly inferior to this one. Interior had jury-rigged wiring like some grade-school kid had wired it up; revealing the need for ad-hoc rewiring of an incomplete design, easily recognizable by an electrical engineer such as I. It sure enough crapped out in no time. This unit has no such garbage hookups, is fused, a really nice thing to have, and the battery compartment lid fits so snugly you really don't need the mounting screw. Some advice: 1. the instruction manual (on-line) says "ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT CONTINUITY CHECKS ARE TO BE MADE WITH THE POWER TO THE CIRCUIT ". Be sure to do just the opposite! Kind of obvious. 2. Comes without an AA battery. Actually, wisely so. Saves on shipping cost and potential ravages caused by a leaking battery. 3. I will be ordering spare fuses for those inevitable screw-ups like trying to measure resistance across a 250-volt line. Other than that, a happy acquisition without even a dent in my pocketbook. Go for it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gardner Bender GMT-318 Analog Multimeter, 6 Function, 14 Range, AC / DC Volt, 500V - WGGE WG-026 10 Pieces and 5 Colors Test Lead Set & Alligator Clips,20.5 inches / 22 AWG Copper Wire.
