I think its time to strike back
Wow people , when an home user needs to buy his first DMM , speaking about CAT level ,
its not the top rank subject to bother with.
Speaking about multimeters and choices , just one was never enough ..
Personally since the age of 19 , I always had three multimeters next to me ..
And now at my 42 (age) , I made them as " eight units " ..
Every one has its own personality as instrument ..
My small one portable ....
My medium sized portable ..
My " one hand " hold tester ...
My Super extreme accurate True RMS portable ..
My " industrial type " analog - portable ..
My bench type " general - use " ( I do all do not worry Boss ) 3 + 1/2 ( two of them )
My bench type " advanced " ( I do all do not worry Boss ) 4 + 1/2
I love them all , all fingers does not have the same size but we need them all .
The correct multimeter choice .... its a VERY WIDE subject ...
By trying cut corners here and there, so to offer , one opinion about the most usable single multimeter ,
its an utopia .
