I am looking to get a new Fluke and wanted to see what everyone is using or recommends.

 

I use a Fluke 77 Series II (for automotive) and I have a Scopemeter that's old and discontinued.

If you can swing it, get a Scopemeter 120. Having an o-scope is just SO useful.

 

BTW, I miss phone calls from installers who told me how much voltage the car had by how bright the incandescent bulb was... no, really.

 

You mean the bulb above their head, right?

 

wow im toltally lost in this thread

 

Hehe, I want a Fluke but they are bank! Maybe i'll get one if I start doing more electronic stuff. For now my cheapo home depot one will do.

 

i use the 112 true rms one i think (it's a couple years old so i don't remember the model number but i know that is the current model equivelant)

 

I use a Simpson 260! And when I feel like letting the meter do all the work for me I use a Fluke 77. Fluke rules! I have a couple of different kinds since I use to calibrate them for a living. You can get a cheapo meter from Harbor Freight for like $9.99. I bought a couple and have calibrated them and they are more than accurate enough for car audio installs. I keep a meter in each car and tool box since they are so handy!
