Multimeter recomendations

Oh so do I. Look, I mentioned I'd bought a Big Trak. You don't honestly think I need a toy plastic 'tank' do you? I bought it, intending to modify it. Ditto. I take just about everyhing apart to check it's been assembled properly (often it has _not_!) and to do modifications. But I don't do mods for no good reason. And to be honest, the sort of measuredments I need a DMM for are pretty standard ones. If I am spending a few hundred pounds/dollars on such an instruemnt, I darn well think it shouldn't need modifying... And _that_ is my main complaint. It can't bee a leakage or safety issue in that the self-tapping screws are metal (of course), and there would be no electrical difference if they were machine screws and tapped bushes. Probalby some idiot bean-counter had figurted out how to save $1 per insturment (not realising that had they sold them at $10 more, they'd have sold the same numbero of units), but in the process has got me sugggesting to all and sundy that Fluke is perhaps not the great brand it once was... -tony
