Just as the title says. I had a decent sears multimeter from 20 years ago and it worked great for years. But good things never last a lifetime it seems. Calibration seems to went wonky with it and I am getting all kinds of wacky readings. Clearly it is more price effective to buy a new meter then try and fix this one.
I am looking for a quality unit that will last hopefully another twenty years and has a good set of features. My last meter had HFE transistor gain, freq, voltage, current, ohm, temperature.
I know about fluke, greenlee, extech, and of course another crasftman but I was told they are made by a different company now instead of RTI who went out of business. Anyone have an opinion on any of these brands and maybe in particular a model.
I'll add, autoranging and capacitance to the list of features I would like.
