Fluke's DMMs do cost much more than generic ones. They guarantee accuracy
that the others can't touch. I've always been amused that Radio Shack and
many other inexpensive DMMs don't publish accuracy specifications.


Actually, RS does specify the accuracy of at least one multimeter in
the manual for that meter: the RS digital multimeter PN 22-812. I sure
wouldn't depend on a Radio Shack multimeter in a work environment, though.
The ruggedness just isn't there.
