If you are a Ham Radio operator dedicated for QRP (low power) work, you will certainly like (and need!) this accessory from the QRPLabs. It’s an easy to assemble 20W Dummy Load with a very useful feature - measuring the output power of the transceiver.
This video is a review of the 20W Dummy Load produced by QRPLabs company, with some measurements and tests conducted by me with some intriguing results to discover. I also explain in detail the assembly of the unit into the 3D-printed box.

These 2mm Banana plug sockets should fit nicely into the holes in the box, as the holes are 6mm in diameter as is the socket’s mounting part (affiliate link, I earn small commissions at no extra cost for you if you purchase through this link)

Any digital, or even coil-based analogue multimeter can be used with this dummy load. I used this (affiliate link, I earn small commissions at no extra cost for you if you purchase through this link):
