Multimeters

[Bob Bryce]

Looking to get a really good multimeter.  Looking at the Fluke 177 / 179.  What kind of multimeters do you use?

I'm on holiday now and I don't know the brand, but the function I use most is the beep when there's no resistance between two points.
It's often hard to read the display when trying to check that two remote points are properly connected

Personally I have a Fluke 189 and am very pleased with it.I also have an analogue meter, which I'm still using after 40-odd years and its still working.
Hope this helps.

You can't go wrong with a Fluke multimeter - I have several models and they have always been reliable. I also own a bunch of other cheaper brands (sub $100) and at a first glance they work just as good. Generally I'll pick up a cheap meter and toss it around for quick and dirty measurements not requiring precision.  But, from experience I know that if I want a reliable measurement, I would only use one of my Fluke meters.

Here's my bench

Good to hear so many like the Fluke meters.  I looked into many meters and wound up ordering a Fluke 179 last week.  Should be here Tuesday.

Fluke meter arrived and I really like it.  Very impressed with the accuracy.  Best investment ever.
