Subject:Multimeter Recommendations
From:Anthony Egeln

This is a tools post, so I hope the mods approve it off-Frydae.

The recent post on an LED voltmeter got me thinking about buying a multimeter.�

On Amazon they have them both digital and analog, ranging in price from under $10 to
close to $200 (Fluke brand). �Of course, Harbor Freight has quite a few as well.

Would anyone care to make a recommendation on a mid-range price tool? �Not too cheap but�
not the very expensive professional quality. �Digital vs. analog? �Ranges? �What else to look�
for, or cautionary lessons written in blood or wasted scarce dollars.

It would be good to have one tool for both vanagon and household use.

The archives had a few posts when a Craftsman model went on sale. �I remember
trying to buy that one, but the special price went away quickly.

Will this be like a tire thread?

Thanks, Anthony
