Agree.
I have had a fluke 87 for about 15 years, it has never let me down. It has survived drops, rough conditions and other abuse that happens in the trade. The only thing I have ever done is replace the probes once, and a fuse when I accidentally blew it once - and that is NOT the meter's fault. I cannot be stuck with dodgy equipment when I'm on a job 200km from the workshop. Been there, done that, when I started out many years ago.
To me, the cost of time and money and goodwill by having to go back would be excess of the cost of a decent meter.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another, and Dave's reviews have confirmed my belief in their products. I can see also where the internal design has been improved a lot.
Im not just pushing Fluke products either, while I havent used or seen them, due to industry competition, Im sure that HP, TEK and others have made comparable quality meters.
Wonder if you could return it under warranty ? ;)
Amazing. I doubted the 3M drop spec. Not any more.

I bought it in Australia, but I took it to Singapore. I suppose I could have made the effort to have the batteries replaced, but I relied on the AC adapter, until it failed.

More tests beyond specification:
Drive over it with a car. Drive over it with a heavy truck. Have good athletes kick it into a concrete wall. Put it into a cement mixer running for 10 minutes (first dry then with = water and finally with concrete).
Just the same, i think i would have force fed it to the local dealer = instead. At that price, i might well have flown back and force fed it to the = dealer that=20 was foolish enough to sell me a clearly defective unit.
He couldn't do that, it was on loan for the torture test.
