Remind me to slap you later, okay?

Coulda sworn I saw a meter on top of that trash heap......

 

Can't believe the response to this question. Awesome info... thanks.

 

Oh, we weren't answering you! We were just bickering about meter choices and generally giving each other a hard time. We forgot about you a along time ago!

 

LOL!!

 

Whatever it takes...

 

Russ, start a thread about what motor oil to use. Get your popcorn ready. Ha

 

LOL. You have the sense of humor we like around here.

 

For a very good multi-meter I have always used Fluke because I needed a quality meter for doing radio builds and electronic repairs mostly on the bench, you can buy one for just over a $100. Mostly for 12v car checks a cheaper one will work fine and if it gets dropped or broken no great loss @$25 or so.

For an IR temp unit try one from Summit or Jegs cheap and work fine for 98% of all the testing you will need. They have come down in price the last few yrs., not so 10-15 yrs ago when I used one all the time for my race cars.
