The Fluke 87 is a great meter. You get what you pay for, so consider this before you buy a cheap one.
I use a Fluke process meter that can do way more than the 87. But if you don't need all the features of process control, there is no need to buy the high end Fluke. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have a Fluke 87 for home use which will probably do everything you could ever want and will last forever (literally). You can always get a used 87-III off ebay, etc. if you don't want to spring for a new one; they are robust enough that it should be fine. Our abused 87's at work always cal'd in fine. The process meters (789, etc. ) are really nice but you probably don't need to go to that level. Note that if you buy a Fluke you will never really be happy using a lesser brand.
