Which multimeter to buy?

Is the 87v the latest model multimeter? The fuse compartment for that unit isn't external. I don't mind the fuse being internal as I hopefully wont be changing it as often as the battery. Hopefully, I won't be changing it at all.

My mistake, you folks are right. I got it confused with the 28II. There is no separate fuse external compartment on the 87V.

So I bought the Voltcraft VC 920 and I am quite satisfied with it yet. I still need to test the batterylife but the measurement performance seems to be very good. The only disadvantage I found till now is that it can measure temperature up to 1000°C but the temperature sensor is only heat resistant to 125°C.
Is there anyway to get a sensor that can measure higher temperatures? What about compatibility of thouse sensors, how do they work? Can I built one by myself?
Don't say that I sould buy an Infrared Thermometer. I already own such a thing but sometimes its better to touch things like chips than aiming on them with a laser beam. Coffee makes my hands shiver so its hard to measure temperatures of tiny chips with this thing.
alm:
The temperature sensor is probably a type K thermocouple, check the manual to be sure. Does it have dual banana connectors or the standard thermocouple adapter with two flat pins? Most thermocouples have the latter, but there are adapters or thermocouples with banana jacks (Fluke makes one, I'm sure there are cheaper ones).
I think most cheap thermocouple go up to 300 degC or so, but they are available for up to about 1200 degC.
