Use to work at a shop that only purchased Flukes. Terrible. Failed within weeks of purchase with exotic intermittent issues that were always hard to explain. I was repeatedly replacing LCD screens or cleaning display contacts. Of course we were in a hazard filled industrial setting with many ham fisted mechanics using them.
My point is that buying a Fluke is no guarantee of a meter living a long life. Now days I'm just looking for features, not name branding.
My current meter is from Circuit Specialists...an Owon B35 with 20 Amp current reading (most DVM's only have 10 Amp), auto ranging, auto AC/DC sensing, many more handy functions like Hz, hFe, Temp, and the big thing for me while working alone in a large RV...Blue tooth! Installed the app on my phone, linked the meter and phone and now I can hook the meter up for a reading in some remote location, head inside to flick switches or start the engine, and read the remote voltages right on my phone. Very cool.
