Yup. Not that this will help OP, my trusty Model 12 got dropped one time too many and the
case cracked away and I didn't notice the chunk was missing while there was a chance to
find it. Work is replacing it with an 117, ordered today.

I'm not a tool snob but when it comes to ammeters and DMM's, Fluke is always a safe
choice.

I'm not a fan of the all in ones with the amp clamp. Seems like most I've seen are half
arsed at everything.

As an industrial service tech, the BEST unit Ive ever used for general
duty...is the Fluke T5-600

Ohms, tone, AC/DC volts, AC amps to 100, auto off, rugged as hell,
easy to use, rugged (dropped one off a 12vt ladder, and it bounced as
I cringed in pain...and it still works just fine.)

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
