Posted May 5, 201213 yr Hey guys, just looking to see what your opinion is on the best multimeter brands for starting off are. Im an apprentice mechanic and am looking to buy a quality multimeter but dont want to spend the money on a FLUKE. Too expensive as of now. Ill be willing to pay maybe 100-150 bucks on a brand new one and am just curious as to what works for you guys!Thanks for your help!
May 5, 201213 yr $100-150 gets you way more than what is needed.Go to Sears and get a $30 Craftsman multi meter. I had mine for over 10 years and I use it all the time.
May 5, 201213 yr Author Understood. But Id like to have a quality product I know that its 100% accurate, testing sensors that only vary in a few millivolts will be hard with an inaccurate meter. Not saying that the $30 meter isnt good, im just looking for a higher quality is all.
