Default need to buy a new meter

But what's missing is an all-in-one meter. Do the manufacturers
really think that you do either big currents or small currents but
not both? Sheesh.


I like having two meters for insurance against dropping or frying one,
and to measure both voltage and current simultaneously, like the
voltage droop during a starting surge. While I don't recommend them
for field service reliability my UT210E clamp-on is a good size to
hold and slip into a shirt pocket, and the 4-1/2 digit UT61E is stable
on a flat surface.
