I'm just trying to figure out why you think the Fluke 101 is bad value for money.
I just feel it's an extremely limited and simple instrument. For the price you can source a good old Fluke slide switch model like a 8022
Oh, we're allowed to compare with second hand stuff?? By that metric your Brymen must be terrible value for money.
You already said that you hav "more approprate tools" for different jobs, the Fluke 101 may not be very good as a main multimeter but it's a
very appropriate tool for certain jobs, and serves well as a second meter alongside a main one.
It's also small, cute, fits in my pocket, can light up a white LED, and I never worry about connecting it to "risky" circuits.
Close, 15B, before they did the + thing.
They don't make that one any more. The closest is the 12E but that's nearly twice the price of a 101.
For less money than a Fluke 12E you can get a Brymen with uA range
and beep-jack alert.
Maybe you do your homework and tell us which one?
