"Free" old multimeter/tester

I just got a free multimeter/tester (Sears 41 range), but it has no directions. Are there any general rules of thumb (besides not testing stuff with juice going through it) on using one of these babies?

I really haven't a clue and any help, directions and suggestions would be groovy.

Thanks

Adding a Subpanel

J

jd442 on Jun 03, 2003

Last fall our home got updated to 200 amp service. My garage is attached to house by a breezeway. My garage has electricity in it, but i think its all original and just about everything is on one circuit. I would like to install a subpanel in the garage. I am planning on running a dehumidifier, an extra refrigerator, a garage door opener and eventually a air compressor (not a big one just for home use) and a couple extra outlets. My garage has sheetrock on the walls and I do not wish to remove the sheetrock to access the old outlets and wiring. I am planning on running on the outside of the sheetrock using conduit. My question is what kind of subpanel would I need (rated for)? What gauge wire 10, 8, 6 would be sufficient? My main panel is located about 50 to 75 feet away from the garage. Any help would be appreciated.Read More
