Good multimeter for Industrial use at work (Fluke alternatives)

So if the meter was a Fluke then Fluke woouldn't have such a status but if it's a Brymen made Greenlee then perhaps Greenlee can claim the middle man status just like Southwire.

That product liability middleman law is pretty weird. Also, I think it varies state by state.

In the same document they pointed out several mistakes tech made. Also that meter was not made or claimed to be made for (Ex) environment, which a coal mine would be (both coal dust and methane risk). That is wrong example...
In that case not even Fluke would be a good brand, but only certified (Ex) models.

Fluke offers the 28 II EX along with a thermometer.

I explained that later: my poor English. I meant not just any Fluke will do, but only Fluke equipment made to standard. And yes, I would trust Fluke to make Ex meter right.

I'd get one but the diode test voltage on the 28II is only 2V.

I have done Google searches and can't come up with anything, but may not be all that good at it. In fact I usually suck at it. I'd be interested to understand the circumstances.

It's been a long time since I have searched. I'm sure Google would find a few hits. This was the first one that came to mind but exceeds your decade. I had posted about a friend who had a name brand meter blow up in his hands. PPE saved them. The meter sent in and found defective.
