Owon XDM1041 Bench Multimeter Review and Testing

Comprehensive review of the Owon XDM1041 bench multimeter along with a walk-through, setup, measurement testing and how to record measurement data. Is this meter good enough to be the main DMM on an electronics bench? We find out.

The XDM1041 is available on eBay, Amazon, AliExpress and Banggood, among other websites.

This video does NOT have any paid sponsors or endorsements - this is a completely independent and unbiased review - I paid for this meter out of pocket.
