Yesterday I bumped into this "Fluke Rant" from Kiss Analog.
Short story: He has been buying Fluke all his life (He's got 10+ of them) and he just never considered any other brand.
..
I've watched a few of his videos. He had written me about safety and the testing I've performed. He seems like a nice guy.
For this particular video, notice how he has bought several used meters. Some are fairly old like the 189 for example. Some, more than 20 years old. These have stood the test of time. What's missing are his collection of used old cheap meters.
It requires little education to make a channel and voice your opinion about what you feel are good meters. Watch a few reviews where PTCs are identified as being MOVs, op-amps as LCD controllers, and talking about safety while showing the motor start fuse from the local hardware store installed in your meter. You may find that many of these people are not educated in the area where they present themselves as experts. I believe this particular person is a cut above most of them.
While he mentions safety many times throughout the video, we don't hear him talk about how robust they are. Will the switches on these low cost meters that he claims are just as good, hold up over time? Will they survive any sort of low energy high voltage transient without going to the landfill? Don't just talk about it, show it.
