Re: Suggest me: A good automotive multimeter (J-Tim)
A Fluke is something I don't even own as an Industrial Electrician.. I own an RCC - which is a Korean brand. It's slower then a Fluke - but the accuracy is as good. So are the safety ratings for inrush current and voltage. I purchased it as part of a tool kit.
My next meter will be a Fluke - it's pretty much the standard for electricians.
For home users, they are complete overkill. They are category III/IV meters - which means they are meant for dealing with up to 600 and 750V 3-phase applications. They can handle power surges at these higher voltages. For someone working on residential (120 and 240V systems - non 3-phase) and automotive (12V DC) don't waste your money. Buy a good class II meter. Make sure it is rated for Class II - this is a safety factor. Cheap meters can literally blow up in your hands of you hook them up to a 240V circuit wrong when checking out say, your dryer... a Class II will only pop its fuse - replace it, look at your how-to guide again and off you go.
I'd suggest something in the $80-120 range new... Of course if you find a good deal online, or don't mind spending the money there are excellent meters out there. Good brands are Fluke, Ideal, Amprobe, and Greenlee, as well as RCC.
