Fluke 15B+ Digital Multimeter, for Electrical Applications, Measures AC/DC Voltage and Current Measurements up to 1000V and 10A, Along with Resistance, Continuity, Diode, and Capacitance Capabilities

I needed to find a parasitic battery drain on one of my cars so spent half a day researching and chatting to Fluke customer service.The bottom line? For generalist amateur DIY folks who only use a multimeter occasionally, the 15B+ model is probably the right balance between precision, accuracy, features, capabilities and costs and will meet the majority of needs for auto and home.I had only previously used inexpensive multimeters, but have since learned that it’s ultimately less expensive to buy quality tools and simply more pleasant to use them. Hence Fluke rather than Klein or any of the many no-name devices.The 15B+ was only slightly more expensive that a comparable device from Klein, is well-built, works quickly and—although I haven’t benchmarked it against anything—seems to be accurate. It is definitely stable and consistent in its measurements.It did what I needed it for with my car. I’m looking forward to (occasionally) using it for the next couple of decades 😊.

If you're looking for a meter to tackle most of what you can throw at it as an Auto Tech this is a good option. I would recommend this meter to anyone in between 1-10 years of experience. Whats good about it? It has all of the features you'll use (unless you're going really deep into certain areas of diagnosis), and it's wildly inexpensive for the quality that you're getting. I've had my pick of the litter when it comes to meters, and Fluke isn't overrated. One meter I would avoid is Klien. They make great hand tools, but look up how often their fuses blow (sheesh). If your looking for a meter that measures hertz or temperature this isn't for you but lets be honest, how often will you use these features. I bought this meter as a spare, using my 87v more, but I know one day someone will borrow my meter and bring it back with a fuse blown (mochanics), so this is perfect to keep around. If you'd like those other features, Flukes 17b goes on sale every once in a blue moon for just a little more than this meter.

The golf standard. Not like they were when I was a kid wanting one but still the best. I like the ease of use while still being able to chose the settings.

Husband has been using to re-wire open boat. It’s been useful for this and works great. Has used it also for certain instances in local ice rink as well. Handy tool to have available.. He used one like this when he worked in power plant and it has many uses so he wanted one at home for those times you need one.

It's a Klein and a top quality piece of equipment. I like the backlit display.

Decent

It’s a big size meter. It’s very accurate and the display quality is great. It’s easy to use and has a great battery life. You will need to buy the magnetic and maybe a case for it.

Can never go wrong with a Fluke !
