Discovered my cheap multimeter was off by 0.5 volts on low range

I was chasing a phantom error on a Samsung fridge board for 2 hours last month. Finally I tested my old meter against a Fluke at a buddy's shop and found the low voltage scale was reading 0.5V too high the whole time. Has anyone else had a meter drift on them like that?

That's on you for cheaping out. Buy decent gear once.

Oh come on, it's not like a little rain is gonna wreck a good pair of boots... I mean I've had the same $40 pair from Target for like three years now and they're still fine for everyday stuff. Not everything has to be an investment piece, you know?
