	Harbor Freight Supply sells a cheaper version which does the same
thing, and has been on sale here in the LA area for as little as $2.99! 
I bought a number of those and stuck them wherever I might have casual
use of a meter.  I've checked the things against a good Fluke DMM and
they appear to be within a couple of tenths of a percent, pretty good
for such a gadget which probably didn't cost even a buck to build in
China!
