Just fried my Harbor Freight multi meter today (it doen’t have replaceable fuses) and figured it’s time for an upgrade. I’ve been told many times Fluke is the best there is, but I’m overwhelmed by all the different models, and I’m not ready to drop almost $500 on a meter right now. Can anyone recomend a good meter for autmotive use (Fluke or otherwise) that is around $200 and has replaceable fuses? Thanks!

only the 10 or 20 amp shunt if fused…
