Ask yourself howmuch you spent on the lastest Coputer upgrade and then did it make you any money.
I paid 70 bucks on Ebay for my 87 and I love it. I bought one that was broke and I knew how to fix it. (the over amp fuse was blown) so for about $75 I was able to get it calibrated and repaired. (I knoiw a guy)
Fluke is the name and while there mau be other GREAT COMPANIES I have yet to find a better meter than the 77 or 87
If you are using it look at it the way you buy your tools for anything else what did you pay for your screwdrivers? Because yuou can buy screwdrivers for $1 that suck.
If you want a edesktop model I might be able to come up with a fluke 8010A if you want
Other wise for basic applications the 77 would be a good start.
