You'all should maybe have fun with this one. I got a multimeter as it seems that the advice for every furnace, fridge, and water heater hiccup begins with using one. So I got this one from Amazon but with $12 off cause there is a newer model.

Measures a.c. and dc volts and amps, resistance, continuity, and has a separate probe for temperature-- mostly auto range finding.
Now I need some things to Measure so I can test it-- besides sticking the leads into a ac 120 v household outlet. BTW if i do stick leads into a normal outlet and try to measure amps, is there a value im looking for or is it gonna be the breaker value for that circuit?
Can you give me some ideas of what else to measure? I can disassemble something if needed- what would a AA battery voltage be? Assuming it can be measured. Help with the learning curve appreciated.
My "cute "star wars generator arrived and I love, love it. I can lift it too -- one-handed, so it looks like with a little effort all should be good.
