Well my 20+ year old Craftsman DMM has started acting wonkie ! DCV (auto range) will not read the voltage of a known good 1.5V battery, so I guess it is time to go shopping.
This is for general use, around the house and on automobiles. If I had DEEP pockets I would get a Fluke 88V but I don't care how good they are I just can not justify the price. The Bryman BM235 is pretty nice, but being the cheapskate that I am, I was hoping for something decent in the $50 range.
Here are my requirements.
- Good, removable rubber outer case/guard
- 3-1/2 digits
- Normal DCV, ACV, DCA and ACA.
- Continuity beeper
- Diode tester
- Frequency
- Percent pulse width
- Capacitance
