One of my neighbors is a handyman and he just got a recall notice in the mail.
Sometimes it makes sense to register your tools...
I did some web research and here's the rest of the story.
If you can forward this to the club newsletter editor it would be a
good thing...

Clamp-On Ammeters:
If you have a Fluke 333, 334, 335, 336 or 337 clamp-on ammeter,
or know someone who does, then you need to read this:

This covers about 52 thousand meters that measure 0 to 600 volts
alternating current (VAC), 0 to 6000 volts direct current (VDC) and
0 to 400, 600 or 1000 amps alternating current. The plating on the
rotary switch contacts is coming off and potentially shorting the switch
wiper to ground.
This is a life safety issue. Spread it around.
Fluke is replacing these meters, no questions asked.
