You can buy many decent RMS multimeters like the Brymen BM857 that is a fully safety rated and protected meter that is much cheaper than the Fluke. There are others.? There is a Multimeter comparison Spreadsheet on the EEVBlog? forum.

Fluke is manufacturing many of its products in China and sometimes even buying a genuine Fluke product you never be sure if you getting crap from China, its a crap shoot buying Fluke products with the many fake "from same factory" products on the market. now.? In some tests that I have seen even their fuses are crap and not the proper? multimeter rated fuses that are made in Europe. Sad to see such a good brand name going "cheap made in china"
