I bought one of these a few week's ago with the idea of leaving it in the MH so as not to have to remember to pack my $350 "Amprobe" or "Fluke" when taking a trip and expecting to need a meter.
I have been pleasantly surprised by this $70.00 meter, while I wouldn't say it is as rugged ed as either of the other two meters it certainly seems as accurate or at least close enough for what I need in the field.
This is the cheapest of it's kind I've found in a retail enviorment, and at the moment at least I'd say is a good buy.
With reasonable care it should last quite a while and be quite usefull to anyone who knows how (or takes the time to learn) to use one.
