The 270-5 comes with batteries, manual and test leads with alligator clips; the 270-5RT also includes a built-in rolltop carrying case. Higher accuracy specifications for those more critical measurements are found in the Model 270-5. It has a better than 30% improvement in voltage and resistance accuracy as a full-function/range member of the Simpson 260 type VOM group.
