Seriously, Amazon is so flooded with cheap-ass looking crapboxes. I want something legit without paying something crazy though

I have two and they're both crapboxes. I've been using a harbor freight one that I got for free with a coupon, but a couple weeks ago one of the probes fell apart. I actually don't know what is better about more expensive multimeters. I'll take my answer off the air, thanks.

The probes don't fall apart I guess.

I have a Fluke 117 I got off ebay a few years ago for a good price. I also have one of those cheap ones from Harbor Fright or wherever, for reading HFE of transistors.

I have two cheap ones from Lowes and got an old fluke table top one for like 25 or something....aviation company liquidators are the place to look sometimes. I found my oscilloscope for like 40 at a junk shop ... Tektronix.

There is a good fluke multimeter that is from the the 1980s you can pick up cheap sometimes...8021 or 8020 I think...I dont know if that helps....maybe I am thinking 8060?

Mine is an 8050 I think?
