I know this topic comes up periodically, so I hope I am not beating this to death. There was a recent post by Jim on another thread about the best multimeter to buy. I was asked that question recently as well and was somewhat stumped. I was wondering what meters people have and why they like them. For myself, the meter I like the most is the last one I used when I still worked for a living. A Tektronix Tx3.. a very good meter, expensive and also not made any more. We also used an assortment of HP and Flukes.. also good choices but a little out of the price range of most of the average home mechanic. I currently have a Simpson 270 and a Innova 3340a as well as a Tripplet 850 for the bench, not counting the Heathkits that I used to prop the door open. I wouldn't recommend the Innova. It is rugged enough, has all the features I need, is reasonably accurate but has the annoying habit of shutting off after 10 minutes, usually right when you are making a critical measurement. I was thinking of recommending the Tripplet mm350 to this friend and was wondering if anybody had any experience with this meter?
