Nice. Fluke is the bestest brand in multimeters, even True RMS ones, they're expensive.   By the way, here are my multimeters, you can comment on them if you want.  http://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4724&pos=0&pid=139988

Mine is quite old now, its a  Kewtech-KT21 clamp meter, I`m also currently PAT testing at work, (yes its that time of year again), when I have to go through all our 1500+ items on our 6 sites!, take just over 3 weeks to do. Our PAT tester is a Metrel Gammapat mi3311.

I have a Sears Craftsman 82139 that I got when Sears was still a popular place in my area I believe it is over 10 years old now. I mostly use the continuity and DC voltage functions (I use other things for AC voltage, like the display on my CyberPower PR750LCDUPS)

Well, now Radio Shack multimeters are rare now. Correct me, if I'm wrong.

Quote from: LampLover on January 09, 2018, 08:32:21 PM @AngryHorse may I ask what is a PAT tester?, I am in the USofA and I have never heard of that term before PAT is Portable Appliance Testing, its an electrical safety test for everything with a plug on it in the UK!, be it a kettle or a drinks machine. Although more important in commercial work places than the average home, where alot of different people will use each appliance. The PAT testing meter will test everything from the earth bonding of the appliance, the insulation of the wiring both inside and outside, and earth leakage currents as each appliance ages over the years. It also tests the safety of `roller` extension leads, multi socket, (outlet), leads and IEC leads, (although I don`t know if you have IEC leads in the states)? You just plug said item into the tester, attach an earth clip, (for class one items), select what the item is from the menu, and the tester does the rest! You do have to juggle the settings around for different things, like the size of a lead, or a lower test output so you don`t fry PC towers and things with sensitive electronics!
