In the past, I had Fluke and Beckman meters and, in my days in
industrial electronic sales, I sold both of them.
In recent years, I've become a fan of the Chinese-made copies at Harbor
Freight. They have the functions but not the price. At $19.99, I was
able to buy a couple of them--one for the shack and one for the barn.
You might give them a look before throwing money at the market leaders.

Some research suggested the Fluke 179. I would like to have autoranging, all
the usual DMM functions, plus capacitance, diode testing, frequency, and
temperature. Amazon sells it with an accessory kit (the Fluke 179/EDA2) for
just under $300. That’s about four times what the less expensive brands go
for. But on the theory that it’s better to buy the best first and cry only
once, is the Fluke 179 worth the price?
