Featuring a 42 megaohm resistance range and 600V voltage capacity, it offers average-sensing accuracy with auto-ranging functionality. Its built-in flashlight and backlit LCD ensure usability in low-light conditions, while IEC 61010 safety certifications guarantee secure operation across Category II to IV installations. Designed for seamless pocket carry and intuitive use, this multimeter is the trusted choice for electrical testing on the move. ## Description The Hioki 3246-60 pen-sized digital multimeter (also known as a multitester) is an average-sensing, auto-ranging meter for measuring voltage and resistance in electrical testing applications. The meter has integral test leads. A built-in flashlight illuminates dark work areas. The pen-sized meter fits in a shirt pocket when not in use. An audible continuity sensor confirms a circuit conducts electricity, and a diode test detects proper functioning of a circuits diodes. The hold function keeps a reading on the LCD, even after the meter is disconnected. The LCD is backlit for readability in low light. The unit automatically turns off after 10 minutes of nonuse to conserve battery life, and a low-battery indicator signals when the meter's battery needs to be replaced. When not in use, the black test lead can be attached to the back of the meter and the red test lead can be covered with the built-in sensor cap to help protect against bumps and abrasions.This average-sensing, or average-responding, meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard induction motors and incandescent lights, where the current or voltage has an undistorted waveform. When turned on, the meter is in auto-ranging mode and automatically selects the correct operating range for the property being measured. It can be switched to manual-ranging mode, which allows the operator to choose the appropriate operating range. The LCD has a 4,200-count resolution, meaning it can display up to 4,199 units (3-1/2 digits) before the operating range needs to be changed. Without the included test lead sleeves, it meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for Category II installations up to 600V, which covers large household appliances and devices connected to a fixed power supply (such as refrigerators and air conditioners) Review: Nice and compact seems to be spot on accurate. It’s what all the guys at my work use for a small meter definitely would buy again and recommend. Review: I have a PhD in electrical engineering, and while that doesn't really mean much, I hope I can at least be trusted to review a multimeter. I guess we'll see! FORM FACTOR The big choice you have is pen-type versus the standard form. Unless you have a good reason to avoid it, I highly recommend the pen type for home use. You often don't have a convenient place to set down a meter so that you can see it, so in practice one often has to hold the meter and both terminals in one's hands. Obviously, this would be more convenient if the meter were smaller, and were integrated into one of the leads. This is the philosophy behind a pen-type meter. You can measure the voltage in a set of wires hanging from the ceiling while standing on a ladder, for example, something you can't do with a standard form factor meter. (My attorney wants me to mention that I'm not suggesting you SHOULD do such a thing, just that you could.) OPERATION With two buttons and a switch, you might think this is low on features. Quite the opposite; the lack of buttons is just an indication of good design. The only thing this is missing that I've seen other meters have is a frequency counter. But nobody uses that, and a frequency counter in a consumer multimeter is likely to be junk, anyway. What this does is everything you likely need: AC/DC, diode, continuity, and resistance. The auto-ranging is fast, and beeps when its stabilized, a very nice feature because you're not going to be looking at the display while positioning the probes. The HOLD button is well-positioned near your thumb, and allows for grabbing a voltage without having to look at the device. Another nice feature is the light. Hold down the "HOLD" button for a second and the display becomes back-lit and a bright LED throws plenty of light in the direction of the probe, illuminating your work. DESIGN The integrated probe guard is a nice tough, and when not in use attaches to the pen body. There is a place on the back to wrap the wire for the other probe, and the probe itself gets garaged cleverly in the pen body, as well. Very clean design. The unit itself is not heavy, but nonetheless has a solid, well-made feel to it. MEASUREMENT I didn't have any calibrated reference to try against, but the unit made consistent measurements of batteries to within 10 mV of what one would expect. I can't say anything for long-term stability yet, but if I find any problems I'll update this review. SUMMARY I'm really glad I ended up paying a bit extra and getting this versus the sub-$20 versions you can also find. If you need to measure electricity, you need to do it right. If you don't care enough to pay more than $20 to buy a reliable unit, I'd argue you don't really need to measure it to begin with. Check out the reviews of the cheap meters, and you'll see there is a significant fraction of people who find out the measurements are off, or for whom the meter goes bad after a while. Wonder how many of the good reviews are from people who just haven't adequately verified their meter? ## Features - Digital multimeter measures voltage and resistance - Average-sensing meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads where the current or voltage has an undistorted waveform - Built-in flashlight illuminates dark work areas - Pen-sized meter fits in a shirt pocket when not in use - Meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for Category II installations up to 600V, Category III installations up to 600V, and Category IV installations up to 300V ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008S0CJ2G | | Brand Name | Hioki | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (118) | | Item Dimensions | 18.3 x 5.1 x 3.6 centimeters | | Manufacturer | Hioki | | Measurement Type | Multimeter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 300 Volts | | Model | 3246-60 | | Part Number | 3246-60 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Specification Met | IEC 61010 | | Style Name | Digital | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hioki - **Colour:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 18.3 x 5.1 x 3.6 centimeters - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** Digital ## Images ![Hioki 3246-60 HiTester Pen-Sized Digital Multimeter with Flashlight, 42 Megaohms, 600V - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zKQE5IKGL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this measure in milivolts?** A: It can measure milivolts in DC, but I don't think it can for AC.

The first was a decade ago so I was expecting it to not be on the market anymore. It IS on the market and it is a lot better than the predesessor primarily due to the far softer and flexible ground lead. Also, the positive contact needle has an excellent integrated cover cap to protect it which simply flips off but stays connected to the meter body. My older model uses a slip-on cap that begs to be lost and I am surprised I haven't over the years but not for lack of trying. I leave the older model in my country cabin and keep the new one with me at home. I could almost buy another to keep in my pickup but that seems extravagant. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hioki 3246-60 HiTester Pen-Sized Digital Multimeter with Flashlight, 42 Megaohms, 600V - Hioki 3244-60 Card HiTester and Digital Multimeter, 41.99 Megaohms Resistance, 500V AC/DC Voltage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/274815900-hioki-3246-60-hitester-pen-sized-digital-multimeter-with-flashlight](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/274815900-hioki-3246-60-hitester-pen-sized-digital-multimeter-with-flashlight) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
