multimeter

in THE MAIN WALL
loaned me a Victor 88E for my training center and it is the best meter I have ever had. It does everything needed to do good service on gas and on oil.

I also have used UEI meters for years and find them for the price to be great. I am still using two of them after over 12 years without a failure.

    Lost

    Well, I misplaced my multimeter and of course if I buy one, I'll find the one I lost. So, I have heard of the Victor VC88E and UEI (many models) Sperry, and others. If anyone wants to reccommend one please fire away. I was hoping that just thinking about buying one would make the lost one turn up.
    Thanks

    meters

    All my meters and my analyzet are UEI and the rep in Maine is one of the best....he does all of NE....good stuff. So is Fluke if you want to pay the price...

    I have been using my Fieldpiece multimeter for 10 years. I would highly recommend purchasing one.

    Fluke

    I have two Fluke 8025B multimeters. They are made for the military and they can take anything you can throw at them. You can find them on Ebay.

    Meters old and new

    All of my various meters except one are Fluke. They make some nice ones that are tailored specifically for HVAC work. The lone analog old timer is a Simpson 260. I still find the old girl to be handy for a few different applications. George Lanthier details how to dial in an oil burner using the 260 to read the cad cell resistance. Once you get the knack of it, it's amazing how close you can set up a burner compared to using an analyzer.

    I wouldn't waste a lot of money on such a simple device. You don't need a big fancy name brand to do the job and you certainly don't need the RMS types . $45 would be my upper limit for a clamp-on which is a must. Go to Sears and get a noname brand on the cheap.
    Then, if you lose it why it wont cost you as much aggravation.
    I would also get an analog meter, (also cheap) for those ghost problems you encounter so often.
