I'm finally getting around to looking at some minor electrical gremlins and I remembered that my great Fluke multimeter heroically died several years ago.
Really no need for another $450 item, so what are my cheaper options. Seems there's a huge selection out there but which ones do work well while still being affordable? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
