Multi Meter which one for engineers

[richard978]

Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable.

The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.

Fluke t6 / 107 is a good all around tester but what are you going to be using it for ?

Good budget onehttps://www.amazon.co.uk/UNI-T-Multimeter-Capacitance-Temperature-Measurement/dp/B08FCD7R9P/ref=mp_s_a_1_39?crid=3H3LEWMQS6N18&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.K574xb7BP0Mz0GB_R2Wjb8muF_m_9F9sD3m-raGNxaDJfD1Vkc_rfcsbF-8RzJ0bnJ06vw4hD3kF4ghrBdXU3d58KYiO9hpZ3ED1I2wQrjsuXuSA268d4k2PU28wJwycy24LhIPbHd2y2KMmLjwmAoQsyE5W5uxpzwhIkBQjUCHAMZt2nYgCHRfBNVkNdRKKeQ1d5d1L0GdnwiNRNepUPg.Vpe6cnwOwDT_gEpvZnE-_ZO4DNkzUnnO-YYIFefUeZ4&dib_tag=se&keywords=fluke+multimeter&qid=1713714529&sprefix=fluke+,aps,91&sr=8-39

I would get some good probes for it though

Just component testing, voltage, resistance and continuity. I can't really afford the Fluke...even though it's one of the better ones

If you are planning to use the meter on mains voltages I'd stick with well-known brands and prefer high safety categories. If you haven't done so already, consider the Megger AVO410 Digital Multimeter. It's around £150 if you shop around but seems a good match to your needs.

Check out the uni one in the link

I have the uni one in the link it’s pretty good, also one of these which I use more Fluke T6-600 Electrical Tester - https://www.test-meter.co.uk/fluke-t6-600-electrical-tester?utm_source=google_shopping&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1J7Mxq7UhQMVZptQBh3syQ-XEAQYBCABEgJn5fD_BwE also one of these

Fluke 116 for me. It has all you need as a heating engineer and well worth the money. I know it is more than you want to spend but compared to others I have had, I wouldn't think twice about buying another if it broke.

The Fluke 116 tests for micro amps, which is needed for testing Flame rods
There is a combination kit Fluke 116 / 323.
That what I have, expensive, but it does everything you need.

It was designed / made for the HVAC industry.

If you don't want that kit, look for anything that tests Micro Amps, you will need it from time to time
