Mostly read and post over on the Water Softener board.... Thought I would venture out a bit on this forum...
I am looking to buy a new digital multimeter. Besides the obvious best-in-class, i.e. Fluke, any other feedback from others here? Looking online, see lots of APAC (China) devices online, but am concerned about quality at the pricing I am seeing. Quality for me = accuracy and safety. I have looked at review sites and a few YouTube videos. I don't want to spend more than $150. Used mostly as a DIYer, but includes measuring 120 and 240 AC circuits in homes/neighbors, low voltage DC electronics, capacitors in HVAC systems, resistor values, temperature (nice to have) to measure supply ducts (though I can also use a IR temp tool I have for that). I do have a solar system now so I did by a AC current clamp meter recently - so I am good there. Looking for accuracy, speed to reading of measurement, UL listed, Cat III safety rated as minimum, perhaps a 2 or 3 year warranty (not overly important). Digital of course.
Anyone feel strong about a multimeter they have started using in past couple of years (other than a Fluke)?
Thanks in advance!!
