Cleaning up the work truck got me to thinking about how many of us carry more than one meter.

I have six iirc. Use three at most usually.

Yes it still works and it was my favorite for a long time too.
I saw a pic on here of a Klein tester that looked very much the same as the old Greenlee but it was only for sale in Europe.

Daly driver for me is the fluke 12, but the others get brought a couple or more times a year.

What, no hazard fraught little meters?
Must have 20 of those stashed in different places.
Grab a free one on coupon every time I'm in one of their stores.
Only have 10 or so Flukes of various sizes plus many others going back to old EICO VOM I got from parents as a kit in 1960 for Christmas - still my all time favorite Christmas present, right behind the Oxy-acet set wife got me in 1975.

You mean, like this one?
I have one in my kitchen drawer, which I use mostly for checking the health of flashlight batteries, and occasionally car batteries. I also pick one up every time I visit Harbor Freight and give them away like party favors.
But I use the Fluke 117 for potentially-hazardous high-voltage work ... that is, anything above 14 volts.

Only one, I haven’t used and the TDR being rarely but otherwise all or any could be in the pickup.

Good eye. I picked up the 11 on eBay a couple years ago and another 12 is in my shed as a third back up. They were the best volt meters for an everyday electrician fluke ever made.

I used to use my 32 clamp on mostly, but no DC, need it a lot now, so I switched to the T5.

I used to have a t 5. I liked it a lot. It's up inside a ceiling grid somewhere I'm sure.

I know exactly where it is at...... right next to the flashlight and screwdriver I left there.
