@kuolastech I could do with some help with choices too, im no EE student though. Just a science student looking into doing some hobby electronics.
Is it worth avoiding brands like UNI-T and just saving for a Fluke or what guys?
150 US Dollars is about my limit, dont know if i should try find something branded on ebay? I have no idea whats suitable in that price range or even where to start.
The 117 looks pretty nice although the lack of mA and uA range really kills it for me.
I love my Fluke 85 I got for free
I still have an old FLUKE 87 True RMS Multimeter.
It still works fine.
Cheapest would be chinese junk, or for a step up maybe a BK precision.
You might look at the (several) other multimeter reviews and think about buying used. You can replace most parts (cover, lens, etc) for cheap, directly ordering from Fluke.
“the knob is all raised up, and its realy soemthing to look at” lollll
Perfect review!
We have these 117s at work. It measures up to 650V, accidentally it was put on about 1400V DC and works with no problems. After year and half the four meters have worst difference 1 count against each other and also 1 count max against some higher fluke model with one more digit (on DCV), so accuracy is great. Battery life is many months on everyday use.
The negative thing is the probes which lose contact after a while, so far 3 of 8 had to be replaced and 4th is nearly done too.
Looks like shielding traces without a solder mask.
What’s the cheapest DMM for an Electronic? I’m a EE student (very early on the career) and I was thinking on the Fluke 117 or the UNI-T 60H. ¿could you recommend DMM for Electronics?
Awesome review!!!!!!
Are you evaluating all these meters for your employer, or have you managed to convince companies to send you their crap for free? If so, how can I get in on the scam?
What are those orange traces? (2:53)
Have your camera Steady Shot mode or any image stabilization? would do well to
very interesting and informative as always, thanks Dave!

Thanks again Dave. I’ll ask the ‘leccos to check out your video.
One OT question if I may. Is that a Crazy Clint’s/Super Cheap screwdriver you’re wielding?
No tsk-tsking implied BTW
