Thread-topic: [Shop-talk] multimeter recommendations
I may get blasted for this, but I use a Harbor Freight cheapo meter for 99% of 
the automotive, home and shop stuff that I do.  I checked against my Fluke 
(before it died) and they were essentially identical.  

The build quality is definitely different.  The case and especially the leads 
are quite poor in the HF multimeter, but it does perform accurately and they 
are definitely priced as disposable units.

Good evening, all. So, my trusty craftsman multimeter has decided to give up 
the ghost and Iâ??m seeking insights on what I might replace it with.

Looked at the Fluke website, and reminded myself why I bought the craftsman in 
the first place. Not saying the Fluke stuff isnâ??t rock solid, but value for 
the dollar spent when youâ??re a casual user really isnâ??t there. Applications 
are home and automotive in nature.

Basic functionality:
AC/DC voltage, resistance/continuity are must haves thermocouple inputs are a 
highly rated nice to have Autoranging is also a must have

What are folks out there using that you would recommend?

Thanks.
