Ohm testers

[direwolf_65]

I have been looking at ohm testers. Alot of them have accuracy +/- .02, .04 and so on. My question would be, how far off can the accuracy be before I turn it down? I am looking at one in a builders kit and it says that the accuracy is +/-.05. Is this good , bad or normal? Thanks!

+ or - 5% is the common deviation for most resistors as well .
If you really want better than that you will have to pay a lot more .

Thanks James! I am good with 'common'. Was just checking this kit out on ebay and I am still up in the air on buying it or not. I think I may. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121352156499?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Take Care!
