Meter Recomendation?

[JayDA]

My POS Radio Shack MultiMeter is now officially dead. I want to pick up something decent...what is everyone else using?

Anyone have one they really like for a particular reason? I'm the kind of person that likes and appreciates quality tools that will last 20 years, and I don't mind spending money if I need to. But if something is cheap and sturdy...that's cool too. I use it mostly to bias my MTS stuff, but occasionally to check other things as well.

I use a Fluke in the shop. As good as it gets and it will last a lifetime. It does it all as well.

Fluke is the gold standard, for sure. I got one for my maintenance man at work. If you're on a budget I have an EXTECH EX330 at home and it does the job. Really depends what you're willing to spend.

and did we say Fluke?

Fluke is the do all end all for sure. I never really needed all the options personally. I bought a Sunpro when I was younger and its still ticking and has been used on about 35 cars/trucks and many guitars and projects. Not bad for something that has been thrown in tool boxes and trunks and had a very low price.

BK Precision 2408 works well for me.
