Quoted from Lermods:The difference between the fluke and all the others is voltage accuracy and longevity. The cheaper ones like those from innova are generally fine for continuity and measuring voltage, but the flukes are just so much better at it. I’d go with the innova for now, $20 on Amazon. If you get more advanced, consider a fluke.
I use the fluke 117, it was around $140, now it’s up to almost $180.
Fluke is also big on safety. They even provide safe use training online. Think of it as if you were buying a parachute. Would you rather have a proven good one even if it cost more, or would you like to save a few bucks? And even if you save a few bucks, how good is it if you end up replacing a cheap meter over and over again?
I use a Fluke 117 at work, and I'm about due to replace my old Fluke meter at home for one. I just have to do some shopping around.
