Nikola Tesla Junior IV:
FLUKE 15-17B+ and some other FLUKE allow you to disable the auto-shutoff.

If you hold down the yellow button when you turn it on, It disables the auto-shutoff feature. I believe this is true for 15-17B+ models and more. It will momentarily flash "Poff" then"Loff". Here are two pictures.

Nice deal, get 'em while you can!

The apparent lack of difference between the DM64 and the DM66 was driving me a little crazy.  Poking around the internet, I came across an answer from a FLIR support person on an Amazon listing for the DM66:

The difference is not in terms of the technical part of the meter, but in the elements that it comes with when purchased.

the DM66 comes with:

  - DM66 with integral probe holder
  - 2 × alkaline batteries (AAA)
  - high-quality silicone test leads
  - alligator clips
  - soft carrying case

the DM64:

  - DM64 with integral probe holder
  - 2 × alkaline batteries (AAA)
  - high-quality silicone test leads
  - type K thermocouple
  - soft carrying case

So the difference between the DM64 and DM66 is that one comes with a thermocouple and the other comes with alligator clips.  Those must be some really nice alligator clips to justify a $60 difference in price!

(and the DM64 is still on sale for $50)

2 hrs is short, I want it keep going 8 hrs . I hope it turn off if batteries get <15% so it wont damage them and never turn off powered from mains ?
wish it would adjust to 4,6,8 hr before turn off , how long is battery life and are batteries included with this ?
is there a calibration for f.ex resistance so I can zero out leads and check ones at less than one ohm ?


I also hope it remember all settings for ranges, etc so I dont need adjust preferences every boot.

I repair all kinds of equpment from computers to amplifiers with rails +- over 100volt to crts with high voltage points and thats for sure not when I want meter to beep at me within minutes of turn it on. I like the xdm1041 or 1241 and will probably get one of those. I have never seen any meter with 9v battery last long time, I wish most meters use 2x aa or better yet lithium cell that recharge easy and not micro usb ports that wear out in 10 uses. I hate the aaa with max 100 mah capacity used in all kinds of things, feels like a competition to sell new batteries to get rich... My scale came with 3v clock battery to make sure I keep buy new ones, I modded it with an old mobile phone cell and now it runs years before charge.
