My old one has today thrown the towel in. Can't complain as it's given me
good service for 25-30 years.
Main usages: AC up to 440V, DC up to 120V. Resistance occasionally.
Transistor testing never.
Audible continuity testing is a must.
Not used very frequently but lost without it. A decent item that might last
10 years will see me out.
Thanks,

I've still got a Maplin "Precision Gold" which is ancient but still
working, the current one they do looks very similar but whether it's the
same internally...

Likewise, one of these is my old favourite, including the shock
protective boot.

Don't know what the current examples are like though.
