Easy DVM measurements - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I had to make resistance and voltage (low!) measurements inside a large rack assembly, and with a probe in each hand, I had difficulty propping the DVM where I could read it especially as the DVM had to be reoriented each time I faced a different area of the rack. The solution was to clamp the DVM to the back of my left forearm with a couple of elastic bands. then the DVM was always in easy sight as I moved the two probes around.

Fantastic!! I love things like that, and I'll remember that trick.
