My son who works with me in my electronics service business is
presently enrolled in an Electronics Technology course at the local
College. I introduced him to test equipment by getting him a used 260
and a new cheapo hand held digital from Harbor Freight, just so that
he could "get his feet wet". He's a hard worker, and a good boy and
now I would like to do something special for him. He has asked for a
Fluke portable meter with a case for his birthday. Although I own
older model Fluke and HP bench meters, I rarely have a need for them
in my work so with the large selection of new Fluke portables
available frankly I'm stumped as the what is the best deal on a decent
service meter for the money. Thanks for any advice. Lenny Stein.

This looks good to me. No, I don't work for Fluke.
