I have used a wide variety of multimeters & Flukes. The 101 model has basic functions; so, it doesn't do temperature but that is okay because I use separate instruments for that. I suggest alligator clips & a case. The plus is, that it is small; therefore, the meter can be carried in a smaller tool box, briefcase & pocket. The Fluke 101 has a max rating of 600 volts, which is plenty for vehicles & AC use, such as 120 v AC.

So, you want a digital multimeter and think "I'll go with a Fluke 101 as it's a top brand and cracking price". And then the box arrives and you wonder if they've sent the wrong thing till you unpack it and realise how compact it really is. When talking about handheld instruments you might expect (as was always the case) that it's small enough to hold but a lot bigger than a hand and in this case you'd be wrong. It really does fit in the palm of your hand with very little overhang so it's great for sticking in a pocket. It feels reassuringly well made with a light switch action and all the functions most people would ever need. The leads connect at the base edge which is probably for packaging reasons more than anything and they use standard 4mm plugs so swapping the ... MoreSo, you want a digital multimeter and think "I'll go with a Fluke 101 as it's a top brand and cracking price".

It's compact and works well, what more do you need?

Great little multimeter!! I heard about this affordable option from Fluke but when i looked into it, it would seem like they'd stopped production of it, and the model to replace this model was in the 100's of dollars. All I wanted was a solid multimeter that'll last me a long time, and that cost 40-50 bucks. this fit the bill perfectly. Seller was fast, product was just as described and brand new.
