Solid multimeter for basic home, shop, and auto troubleshooting of single phase 120 and 240 VAC. I wanted a safe meter with true RMS meter for basic troubleshooting and verifying abscence of voltage. It's more meter than I need but it's well built and has an auto voltage mode, screens out ghost voltages in auto mode, has non contact voltage detection and is affordable. Fluke 117 has a few more features and is worth the price over the 115 and 116 but doesn't have the HVAC/R focused microamps and temperature from the 116. It wold be nice to have milliamp / micro-amp range and thermocouple probe temperature on the 117. It's CAT III rated, made overseas, has a 3 year warranty, and is affordable. Stepping up to US made Fluke 87, 177 and 179 gives you more features, CAT IV rated, and a higher price. I also looked at the T5 and T6 which have innovative features but T6 open fork meters but there are some issues testing for open neutral.
