But Harbor Freight carries quality brands like Pittsburgh, Chicago Electric, and US General which are obviously Made In America, you can tell from the name.

The only issues I have with fluke is that the amp fuses are oddballs. I have three of each in my stock. Not often I blow them, normally it happens if I loan the meter to someone.

They all broke, and at the worst possible time. Then I bought a Fluke, and it has been my go-to meter ever since. Works better too. There's got to be some parable about buying cheap tools. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 1/17/2016 2:01 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: Just bought three used off of Ebay auctions over the past week or two to give as gifts to my sons.� Always bugs the crap out of me when they pull out these free crappy Harbor Freight meters. � In any event, I paid a range of $105 to $125 for them.�
