That is where I bought the Multimeter.

Nice comments/insites guys. I wish there was a store near me as well Folsom. I still have a 65-655 scientific calculator,
a 22-220 Micronta FET analog volt/amp/resistance meter with the x100k resistance range, and 40 watt soldering iron/tips that I still use.
Loved those small parts, resistors, switches, fuses, diodes etc., right there when an emergency came up, missing that one part, that one resistor, needed for testing a project. Now you gotta spend 6 bucks on shipping if you order a 10 cent resistor.
Yesterday was better in many respects, RS is one.

i still buy their batteries (rechargeable). I do miss them close though when you need something odd and quickly.

Just bought a soldering iron with 30W and 60W settings for less than $30.
