My digital multimeter, that I've had for about twelve years, has finally died. I'm looking to purchase a newer one with a budget of around $100. Can anyone recommend a good one for under that price?

I would go with Klein, but that's because I've used it before.....you haven't. With $100 you can buy three at three different stores and keep the receipts. Test them all once or twice without damaging or scratching them, and see which one works best for you. Take the other two back and just say that you finally found your original one and don't need a new one.

Experiment like that within your budget and you'll get the one that is best for you.

Kinda like finding a woman really. Laughing

Hi, You didn't specify if it was portable or a bench model. FOr a bench model (can also travel as it has batteries) I use a Mastech MS8040. Circuit Specialists has them. I expect others do as well as it is a absolute clone of one of their own brands that I killed (ran over it with the car) a while back. Excellent features. Triplet would be a "portable" one I would check out. Many others out there from $10 and up. You do to some extent get what you pay for. The $10 ones are less accurate and prone to failing.

Good Listening
