I've had a Fluke 83 for over 30 years now. Also have an inexpensive imported multimeter with a current clamp for measuring AC and DC current. Lowest current range is 0-40 amps, so it's accuracy at anything below 4 amps is probably not very good. Mine's a lot like this one:

OK guys. We're car guys (and gals I hope) but, none of your meters to tach/dwell functions. The Innova and Actron are both automotive meters, and my Milwakee in the middle. I also have a Fluke 77. Years ago I traded my high eng fluke for the 77 as the tech who had the 77 was much smarter than that meter, So if traded my $350 meter for his $50.. Because he could use it. Too bad they laid me off... Left my meter behind.

Sometimes I work on point based ignitions, then, mostly, I rip them out..Oh well.

For around home I use the fluke T5-1000. Its simple to use. The T5 fluke has auto switching between ac and dc voltage. I also have a UEI G2 Phoenix. The UEI is a bit more complicated. It has a capacitor checker. Handy for checking ac unit capacitors. No problems with either.
