True, but before I do that there must be something really wrong with them, till now even oldest one is equal to the newer ones, only Fluke 112 is litle bit of on DC current.

To spot check your meters all you need is a stable high end value for each range, or better yet a low and mid range too.  That's usually where the deviation is greatest, i.e., full scale.

About calibrating, I got around 25 multimeters : 11 Flukes some of them are bench type, 4 Gossen Metrawatts, 2 Voltcrafts, 2 Philips amm’s, a Thrulby bench mm and some pocket dmm’s.

 If I send them out for calibration I would be poor by now, but the plus side is I can compare them together, which I do quite often, every 3 months I check all the batteries in my multimeters..

Surely you'd be poorer buying 25 multimeters and keeping them in batteries than just getting a calibration for your best meter?   You know, if you get any more Flukes you could open up you're own Fluke Multimeter Museum!  ;)
