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.

I tell my guys, Harbor Freight for one time use - disposable stuff only.  

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.

As I'm sure others have, I was lured by the siren call of a cheap meter (or two 
or three)... 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.
