What Multimeter to buy?

[boyscout]

$37 one and done. An electrical engineer at work here has one for his home ATV/Dual Sport/Automotive hobbies and says that it is within 2 (+/- 0.01) decimal points of his expensive Fluke. For the kind of 12V stuff he is playing with it works more than adequate. I doubt he will be bringing it in to pin out the generators at work....

@rags702 that one looks pretty great for the price, though I don't know anything about how long the manufacturer has been producing that kind of product. Looks worth a try for that price though.

Make sure to get one that accepts standard leads. A nice set with clips is very handy.

For a while Harbor Freight was giving those away when using one of their discount coupons found in magazines. I have two of them.

Unless you plan on troubleshooting electronic circuit boards, that one will be fine. Just be careful with the leads. They pull out of the probes fairly easily...

Bought my Fluke true RMS at an Orchard (Sears owned) on close out for $29.95. I asked in the store if this was right, they said yes, I ran to the checkout! Looked it up in my McMaster Carr book and it was $289.

Any good recommendations for a good multimeter to purchase? (Harbor Freight is close by...)

I am a Ham Radio Operator and work on electronics. so I have a Fluke 87V in my shack. I got the Fluke when my RCA VTVM gave up the ghost. You don't need anything like that in the RV any meter that will check AC Volts, DC Volts, and continuity (Ohms) will do.
I am sure Harbor Freight will have what you need. It will probably run between 10$ to 30$.

Start the car and gun it. That's a steal. Nice

I have used and buy these when on sale, I give them to scouts who take radio or electronics merit badge, I have flutes but this one does a great job for casual checks no issues with them.
