As an electrician I have quite a few meters; I’ve found Fluke hard to beat especially with regard to their non-contact volt probe. I keep some cheap ones on hand, new in the packaging, from say HF to give to a friend or family member when they ask to borrow a meter. A little knowledge can get you in trouble and it’s easy to fry a meter or yourself if used incorrectly so I’m not loaning a $500 meter to someone to just get a sorry about that back. You can get some decent budget meters from Klein, Ideal, and AmpProbe that hold up quite well and don’t break the bank. When measuring most things today a True RMS meter is a must and with electrical work a clamp amp meter is a good thing to have. With clamp meters $100 should really be your starting point, and as you go up so do the features like also measuring DC amps. You should be looking at Cat3 and Cat4 levels the higher the level and volt rating typically signified a better built or better insulated/protected meter.

"set your eyes on a quality unit and then wait for a reduction in price"
That is the best shopping advice for the American professional consumer technician!
I hope I never forget those words of wisdom

Your vid is the nicest guide I had never saw in my entire life. I'm an amateur rider and I need this type of info in order for me to check if my motorcycle's electricals are functioning or not. Very true, there are a lot of multimeters in the market and, somehow, I need to find a suitable quality for my motorcycle's maintenance. Thank you again sir for this vid and Keep Safe.😊👍

I'm a Commercial HVAC technician. Pro quality brands are Amprobe, Fieldpiece, Brymen, UEI and TPI. In that order. Any of these are accurate and durable and safe.

I bought a cheap one, but not the cheepest. I expected it to be usefull for studying the basic laws of electricity in practice (not only in books). Unfortunatelly, the reading value varies too much and does not stop at a certain point. I am a bit frustrated 🤷‍♂️. But thanks for clarifying me with this video!

I have one fluke 87V i purchased 1995 until now working well

[contentkudumakannu]

I have a clear mind set to buy multimeter after your video watching
Such great guidance thanks alot I'm just beginner

[TheOtttoottto]

As an electrical engineer I use sheap meeter just to proof if there is voltage or not. If im interessted in detail I use a scope

I think we are much more interested to know is, which is much more closest to the reading, meaninh which budget multimeter are actually more accurate instead.

Lowes has the fluke 110 Plus for $159. That a good choice for automotive & general home/handyman type guy. Example, I was troubleshooting a 230 v spa today & my old craftsman meter died. Old, to many drops, & yeah, 20 + years old

[kevinrush]

Are there no videos that compare functionality, use case, and accuracy?

[twizzy]

Great video, easy and fast forward. Bought a cheap multimeter, wanted to test cables if they were broken.. Was looking for this beep noise u get when troubleshooting cables. But there is no speaker on mine.. So confused. Dont buy cheapest one, think again for what u are going to use it for :)

[danielderese]

He just made me happy...don't even know why..thanks

[ngumbaeunice]

Mine blew up but now I have an idea on what to buy thanks

[jhomarsalcedo]

This video is so helpful, glad I watch it before I buy my first multimeter

[MrSupernova]

I'm brand new to multimeters but I want the Fluke 117 to do testing on my old car. I get the feeling that driving around an old car I'm going to get some fair use out of the thing. Thanks!

[bitcollector]

2:40 LOL The best moment of a great video!
Thank you very much, Sir!

[pilotavery]

This fluke101 education edition is about 40 bucks and is a high quality flute with a couple really advanced features stripped out. It's a solid multimeter

[samarjitpaul]

Hi Sir, plz. explain about accuracy, response time, protection, digit update speed in digital multimeters
