It's a Bussfuse dmm-b-11a. on Digikey and other legit sources it's over $100! I found some knockoffs on Amazon for cheaper, but not sure if I want to chance that, or should I be safe?
Is there a place in Canada to buy those comparable ones?

I found some knockoffs on Amazon for cheaper, but not sure if I want to chance that, or should I be safe? There is some stupid pricing on these, but reliable-but-not-cheap Grainger has them for $17USD and I think they go for similar prices directly from Fluke or Greenlee. $100 or anything close to it is silly and I'm not at all sure how they got to those numbers. Amazon and eBay will have plenty of fakes and generics, but I believe that the seller "Witonics" has genuine products at lower prices. IDK what your situation in Canada will be, probably a lot worse than the US.https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/fluke-electronics/803293/1802030

Amazon are notorious for comingling nominally identical items in their warehouses, so if one seller has fake goods they are mixed in with the genuine stock (if any) so you risk getting fakes from any other sellers of the same item except those that do their own shipping from within your own country, have a bricks and mortar presence in your country, and a good reputation outside of Amazon.
When searching for DMM fuses, I found that the prices varied insanely, especially if you look for just one specific brand.So look for all the possible parts. At least one of them will be affordable.440mA:* Fluke 943121* Bussmann DMM-B-44/100* Littelfuse FLU .440 (0FLU.440T, 0FLU.440M)* SIBA URZ series, part # 210 06.0.4411A:* Fluke 803293 * Bussmann DMM-B-11A* Littelfuse FLU 011. (0FLU011.T, 0FLU011.M)* SIBA URZ series, part # 50 199 06.11
To put this all in perspective, here are some audiophool fuses. Perhaps they would improve the tone of the continuity beeper? I'm not sure how you would determine the correct direction, though.https://houseofstereo.com/products/synergistic-research-master-fuse?variant=43225203671189
The fuses must be sold at wholesale prices instead, and some be included with the meters as standard accessories, to encourage people to use proper genuine fuses and not look elsewhere.
@tooki: Hioki documents in the manual for the DT4282 that they use fuses from chinese manufacturer Hollyland in 10x38mm for both of the inputs, maybe worth an addendum to the list?
You thought it's for a box? Only for one.Greed is good, greed is legal. There's not much else commanding these outrageous prices.Look at these screen caps from last summer. Price gouging, profiteering, too many middlemen etc.I even emailed Eaton and told them they are crooks.
