[AT] Multimeters for tractors, etc.

[John Wilkens]

Need info from you electronics gurus.   I've gone thru 3 multimeters 
over the years (not the ultra cheap ones) in working on old tractors 
and my vehicles.  I've never been very impressed with them--even the 
digital clamp meter.   Anyone have any suggestions from experience 
about a good brand/type?  I suppose Flute products are good but not 
sure I can swallow the cost ( is it all in the name?).  I really like 
clamp meters for quick and easy checks of generator and alternator 
output--when the meter works right!   There are lots of multimeters 
on Amazon at all prices but I don't know what would be good.   Any 
suggestions for me?      John W.              PS:  Best wishes for 2010 !!
