Did both of you miss the original post and subsequent reply where OP (re)stated that the problem was user error where the meter was in amps mode when the leads (in amps jack) were connected to mains? No input jack alert can prevent this, because it wasn’t a mode–jack mismatch error.

Having a bad day? Seeing your posts today giving people shit. Try not to blow a fuse.
Yes I read the 117 fuse getting blown due to user (jack) error. Thread is about several new multimeters though.
In OP, the 179, 827/DM-830, MM6000, AM-570 also had bad fuses and why?
Post #30 "...I don't know why all the other bad fuses. And no, they were never used to check current, nor voltages with the leads in the current jacks..."

Nope, I’m actually in a great mood. It just baffles me why people provide responses that ignore clearly- and repeatedly-stated information.  :-//

OK, and how would an input jack alert have helped here?  :-//
J-R:
Definitely some forums users could use a "quality over quantity" adjustment...

My overall opinion of this thread is that the OP probably blew the fuses in the other DMMs but just didn't realize it at the time.

I have certainly bought a brand new meter that came with a blown fuse out of the box. A previous purchaser had bought it, blown the fuse, and then returned it.

For as long as retailers have a policy of accepting returns, you run the risk of getting returned goods "as new".
