Remember, cheap and quality aren't always referencing the same thing. I have Flukes. $300-500. Don't remember. Those are relatively inexpensive compared to some. Johnstone Supply sells some that are $100 plus or.minus a bit.
i went with the fluke 1587... $625 or so. now, it doesn't have the stones that one of zogs sets has
(his make UFO's drop out of the sky from the corona) but it'll tell you most of what you need to
know in the field.
fluke's are overpriced, and they work. you can get equivalent for less, and i had one of
those till i checked the output on a tig welder, and found it was only good to use on 60 HZ.
it blinked twice, and went Pffftttt....
the fluke that replaced it measured the offending tig welder nicely. a fluke 87, now 22
years old, still works perfectly. not the latest insulation rating, but i'm not going into
therapy over it. a backup for the 1587, but largely unused.
my day to day mulitmeter is a fluke 12. discontinued. i like it enough that i have two
new ones in boxes for spares, so i'm good to go for the rest of the time i need meters.
the one in service is 20 years old, as well.
