I have owned a Fluke 77 since dirt was new (and before they started putting fuses in them). Putting it across a battery when set up to measure current on the 10A scale (due to brain fade) resulted in melted probe wires. Still, the DMM survived! Bryan

You don't deserve it????????????????

I forgot to switch from amps to volts one time with my 23, then put the leads across a 50 amp, 240 volt circuit! The leads did not melt, they vaporized in a BANG! Replaced the fuse in the meter and it still works! Greg

Chinese. Grainger sells them...
I have UEi and Fluke...
If you need a GOOD digital multimeter I think you need to be looking at FLUKE. Here's a very good but fairly basic model at this link:
