I have used Flukes since I was a wee little kid. My dad swore by them and I never understood until I got in the Military. I used to have one that was quite old but it fell from a cabinet and broke... Now I just buy the cheapies... I would love to have another Fluke if I could justify it's use.


EDIT lol don't we ALL LOVE to blow **** up?

I have cheapies since I don't need expensive ones, the most I work with is 12v.

The only thing I know what to use a voltage meter for is testing power supplies. Otherwise I have no idea what I'm looking for. :redface:
