I need to get a new multimeter. Would like to know what has worked best for everyone.
I had a 50-60 Klein that worked well for me for a few years. I was testing resistance on a solenoid and the reading just seemed off. I used my buddies Bluepoint and it confirmed the solenoid was bad. That's why I'm considering an upgrade now.How long did your last one last and what killed it? if you run them over every few weeks, a $5 meter from harbor freight will tell you most of what a $500 fluke etc. will tell you. I don't have a fluke, but the 'nicer than HF' brand I have has gotten wet and dried out more times than I can remember, so a way better investment than any HF. But HF are more fun to run over.
Been there.....done that.I use the half already burnt screwdriver. No reason to ruin the tip on a good one.
