jtfoo 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2003 I'm also using a sanwa DMM at home.. Good enough for most diy application and doesn't cost a bomb like the Fluke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2003 Fluke 19 about S$120 at NUS (this is what I heard) Fluke 96 costs alot more, a few hundred dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2003 the 170+ series retails for $300 too..I'm trying to hunt down one for <$200 on ebay preferably MUCH less than $200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2003 oh this's my Sanwa btw, the CD800 actually its more than sufficient I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtfoo 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2003 Hey, that's the same one I'm using at home... Yes, it's more than suffucient. Those $200 Fluke will not have anything extra that this Sanwa has. In my company, we're using the Fluke 79 series, and I don't see what it can do that the Sanwa can't do.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
