I think the one I have now was about $20 and it’s at least 10 years old. I wouldn’t get one from harbor freight though. Craftsman may have gone downhill but it’s still light years ahead of harbor freight’s garbage. ---

Don’t buy a harbor freight one. First time I used mine it broke in Smolinski’s garage in a real time of need. First time. The cheap yellow ones they sell everywhere have always lasted me a year or two of being thrown around in tool boxes and dragged all over the country. ---

I bought one at radio shack and blew a fuse. When I tried to buy a new fuse I was told they don’t sell that particular fuse. I Shit you not. ---

The harbor freight ones are ok for a quick go-no go type of check, but they arent very accurate or reliable but what do u want for free or almost free. If you need somthing robust with decent accuracy I’d reccomend Fluke, but it does come at a price ---

[quote=“jay\_g,post:14,topic:233005"”] First mistake you went to radio shack. [/quote] Radio Shack was undeniable in the 80’s, which is also what year he still shinks it is. 😉
