[Superman]

I bought my Fluke used. I have never heard of one failing. You can drop them off a roof. I just wish I had bought one that could test for current. Mine just checks diodes and measures resistance and AC or DC voltage. Sure, I can understand wanting to avoid overkill, particularly if you are just a casual user like I am. But on the other hand, the older I get the more I like quality stuff, particularly tools. I recently bought a set of Snap-On screwdrivers. My screwdriver drawers already had several dozen Craftsman, etc., but I just got tired of looking for a screwdriver with a good tip and not finding one. If a Snap-On tip stops making me happy, I'll call the Snap-On guy. Buy quality, and buy once.
