My use is going to be mostly resistance measurements for a pass/fail on a field replaceable unit. In fact, I just used it earlier in the week for that. I also picked up a nice non Fluke hard case for about $15 to keep it in good physical condition. The thing to remember with the 101 is that it is an Asian market meter. It's grey market in the US even though Amazon sells it so there is no warranty. No need to worry about measuring voltage whilst in current mode so it will be hard to kill if just using it in the car. For me, the lack of warranty is a non issue, especially for the price. I'm worried more about leaving it behind trying to rush on to the next service call that I will leave it behind and not getting it back.
