Re: [FWDLK] Multi-meter Purchase

[Richard Whelan <rwhelansr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron, I agree with Mike that one of the basic meters will probably work 
fine.
However I use a mini Triplett analog meter for most of my auto work an 
Amprobe brand and a Fluke occasionally (digitals). Just depends on the 
situation. Not sure about what Radio Shack sells these days but don't spend 
a lot on made in China when Harbor Freight sells them for $2.99
