There are so many, it is difficult to choose. I know, or think I know, Fluke is the best, but I don't want to spend $125+. I'm interested in the under $50 level.
I'm interested in your experiences. Chinese meters are OK.
-Durable
-VAC and VDC to 400 at least
-Amperage as much as I can get
-Transistor testing
-Diode testing
-Capacitor testing
-Resistance
-Temperature would be nice to have, but is not necessary
-Frequency
Usage level is, perhaps, twice a week, most of it on the bench, or at the tool
Will be used to test many things, but primarily electric power supplies, switching, diodes, resistance, continuity, power transistors.
I'm looking on Ebay for my next multimeter. My current multimeter is an analog Radio Shack cheapo from the 1980's, that doesn't do half of what I need. Its circuitry is iffy, and needs to be recycled.
Your input is highly valued.
