I am not familar with Rat Shacks new meters, but my past experiance most
stuff they sell with their label is over priced junk! I bought 2 VOM's from
them at differant times and they lasted untill the warranty was over.
As an other poster has said, buy a Fluke, it will last a home owner for
ever. If you cringe at spending that much money, buy the VOM from Harbor
Freight that goes on sale for 4-5 bucks. My neighbor has one in every car on
in the house and one in the garage! They all work fine, and for $5 it is
hard to go wrong!

Thanks, will do.

The only place I've ever seen the name Harbor Freight is
here, in this newsgroup.

Will have to see if there's one hereabouts (either Westchester Cty
or NY City).

Thanks, all!

Harbor Freight has been around for decades. They didn't have brick and
mortar stores in my area of NY. I bought something from them once from
an ad. I think it was some cheap sockets or something made in Japan,
when Japanese stuff was crap. Thereafter, I got their catalogs for years.
