    Quoted from Zitt:

    I use fluke meters... but I'm a meter snob; so not really fair.
    Look at this stickies at EEVBlog's forum:
    https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/
    There is a whole bunch of multimeter discussions... even some destructive "testing" on cheap meters.
    Probably more info than you need... but if you want to educate yourself... I'll lead you to the fishing pond.
    When I was a grade school/highschool/early college- I used micronia(SP!) radio shack meters because it was all I could afford and they were local.
    After working professionally; I've pretty much settled on a Fluke 80-something series. For my pinball bag; I grabbed a used Fluke electrician's I forget the model for free from a friend who had several. It had a bad selector switch which I opened and cleaned. No further problems.

    Fluke are the gold standard but the Klein is a very good meter and much cheaper. I have the Fluke 87v and use on machinery to pinball machines. Love it.

    If price is the reason buy a Fluke 101. $43 Amazon. Some of the super cheap ones I have seen issues of them causing problems to what they are working on.

    Fluke is lifetime warranty. I have my fluke meter from 1994. Still works great. My 87v just better features and auto sensing.
