Is a Fluke multimeter overkill?
I’m a regular guy. I’ll check my car battery occasionally. I will however, check my other batteries quite often. My kayak fish-finder battery quite often. (The voltage counter on the fish-finder appears to read high). Plus that cool-ass contraption RedBeard gave me.
I have a $30-$40 Craftsman multimeter. It’s fine so far. But my cat has chewed the cords a bit. It would be nice to use that min/max feature on a Fluke as a (sort of) car battery load tester. Mine unit will need replacement pretty soon anyways. The metal tips on the probes are all bent. I’m reluctant to try to straighten them at this point. They will probably snap off.
A $150+ multimeter is tough to justify. Is this a multimeter better suited fir someone in the trades?
Any other options?
