Looking for a good multimeter. I know that they all basically do the same thing but just wanted to check with you guys as to what you have and what you would recommend.

I use fluke meters many choices for your style you want I have 3 but I'm a electrician though

Yeah I've heard a lot about them, they seem like some of the best on the market. Mostly it would be in my tool box and used on vehicles so a highly priced one might be impractical for me.

A guy at work has a craftsman one, it's nice! I just got one from homedepot, it sucks

i have been using a Green Lee from Lowes for lil while on just basic stuff like checking wiring on trucks and checking battery voltage. It stays in my truck.

I keep the Fluke in my shop, they arent cheap but thats what my dad uses. He has been a Master Electrician since i can remember. So if he trust them, i dont have a problem.


What are you gonna be using it for?

Doh,
just saw you said your gonna use it on vechicles..

The Green Lee will do everything you need, it was only $20 or so..

I'll have to check into the Green Lee, especially for that price. How is the overall construction of it? I don't want this to fall of the bench and split in two I'm looking at a Extech Ex330. Just read a couple of reviews and it sounds like a pretty good unit and also has a thermometer which I imagine would come in handy.
