Sure, if the price is right why not.  Another cool thing with this FLUKE 25 was the price.   9.99  Bargain of the year.

Seriously, they are, in my opinion, the best value in hand held multimeters, provided you are in the US or other area where they are inexpensive, and don't need capacitance, frequency, datalogging, etc.  (These are a bit more expensive in some countries, and not having a needed feature is false economy.)

I use these as 'knock around" meters for working on the car,  washing machine, etc.  I have one at work that I use when I'm crawling on top of a machine and don't want to see if an 87 can stand a 2 meter drop onto hard concrete.   I did drop my 25 onto a bulldozer track from about 1 meter - no problem.  The operator thought I'd just broken my meter.

I think this will do for all my needs.

Did you go for the one on ebay?

 9 out of 10, what I do are continuity checks and DC Volts, so other fancy stuff is not really required. Having said that, I have ordered a new Mastech 8229 from Amazon.  I fancied a spare metre which sometimes can do temperature, freq, lux, capacitance on top of the basic functions,  plus doing proof readings against the 25. 

Yup, I fell in love with  this 25 already - feels solid tough quality device.

Yes. With shipping, I think it came to 17 total.  Glad I got it.
