Suggestions for a good DVOM

[Big D]

looking to buy a Digitial Volt Ohm Meter for troubleshooting DC electrical Circuits.

looking for suggestions something thats real user friendly and will stand the test of time.

Should I just pick my favorite Fluke Meter?

Can't beat a Fluke. My 23 has served me well over the years. If you don't wanna spend that kind of money...Klein has a decent line and just introduced 2 new ones Made in the USA. Ideal is made by UEI (not very durable) and Triplett hasn't been worth a damn since they sold out to Jewell Instr.

I use a bk precision.

Great meter, lots of options.

Measures 30 a.

Also does freq, which is good for troubleshooting sensors.

Which BK model do you use? a quick search shows a price range from $80 to $1000.00

388B.

My mistake, it's a 20 A model not a 30.

It's an older model that doesn't auto range, but that's just fine by me.

I've got a Fluke at work, old reliable. I can't remember, maybe a 54? For playing in the garage I have a handful of the cheap meters from Advance/Autozone etc. They are cheap but they work.

I've got a fluke and 2 ex techs the fluke doesn't really work any better but it may last longer only time will tell

I bought a snap on meter. It's model EEDM596D.

It does everything. And it is tendered to automotive so it can read rpm and temperature

Most all can read temperature from what I've seen
