Not to self: "Don't try to test main electric voltage on the wrong setting on your multimeter!"

What make of meter was it? Get yourself a Fluke auto ranging meter. You can't kill them.

They're a bit pricey, but worth every penny. I have 3 of them (for my job) Wouldn't use anything else.

For a good autoranging DVM have a look at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320974306336?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
If my Fluke ever goes tits up I would go for one those - seen a review and on accuracy it compared well with my Fluke 87

That's looks loads better than my cheapy.. I'm going to make a few mods so I think I'll have to invest in one of these. Thanks a lot. :-)

Just so I'm clear as I'm a complete newbie, will I destroy this if I stick the leads into a mains socket? Stupid thing to do I know but is it Seedy proof? ;-)

Has 'function protect' which I'm guessing means yes

You underestimate the destructive power of Seedy! ;-)

Should be ok if auto ranging just be careful of amp and poss ohm settings on live terminals
