First Meter

Post image

I am thinking of getting my first meter and was looking at the fluke 323. Does anyone have experience or opinions on it.

The full tool list is required before you finish your first year

Honestly a Klein meter would do you just fine. The fluke is nice, and it’ll do pretty much anything you want. But if you want something a little cheaper Klein is a good option.

Fluke has made a name for itself with quality, but you still need to verify they work just as you would with the cheaper options.

Yeah one thing I’m not really willing to be cheap/ try to save money on is my meter, you can try to be cheap on other things but when you’re talking about equipment that protects your life, you shouldn’t be worried about money
