Electricity doesn't have to be confusing-or dangerous. With the right tool and guidance, you can confidently test, troubleshoot, and understand the electrical systems in your home.
The Home Multimeter Guide: Easy Steps for Testing Outlets, Devices, and Everyday Circuits is a complete, beginner-friendly handbook designed to help homeowners, DIYers, and first-time multimeter users safely measure voltage, resistance, continuity, and current-without technical jargon or prior experience.
If you've ever wondered:
- Why an outlet suddenly stopped working
- Whether a battery, charger, or appliance is still good
- If a wire, fuse, or switch is broken
- Or whether a problem is simple-or time to call a professional
- This book gives you clear, practical answers.
