Depends if you're testing Flukes or flukes. The latter might be found at a cetacean institute or some such.

Longstanding SOP in the construction industry is to low bid (surprise!), and then near the end of the job there is a "snagging" phase. That is like musical chairs; when the music stops one of the companies goes bust.

The preview button is like a handkerchief; it helps reduce the spread, but isn't a panacea.

The latest addition to my gear arrived today, a HP3466A but sadly because of poor packing, the handle is in 2 parts. It was all nicely wrapped up in bubble-wrap, but instead of folding the handle down and back so it tucks up between the feet, it was wrapped up out straight in front of the meter and suffered as a result :palm:. The seller has given me a £5 refund so thats helped.
It could have been a lot worse as the power lead was laid on top the meter, loose with the plug wrapped up, but the box so deep that it was possible to get 2 of these meters inside and the extra space was rammed jammed solid with....AIR. Had the box been knocked on the top, it could have crumpled and driven the plug through the top plastic cover :palm:.
The good news is though that the meter works and after a bit of switch cleaning the correct symbol is now illuminated for each function selected and as expected is within calibration :-+
