Looking for bang for the buck here, willing to spend up to about $100.
Love my Fluke 83. Have bought two Fluke 87's, used, under
your price mark.
The protective current fuse alone costs more than a HF meter on sale!
But there's no contest. The 83 is what I reach for, year after

Ahh good catch, thought I might have forgotten something.
Looks like thats nearly a $300 meter on Amazon, theres one on NH Craigslist for

That model lacks the ability to measure DC current, which is useful when
you are diagnosing a current drain that is killing the battery. Other than
