DMM suggestions?

I bought the Protek 608 on eBay for $90 and got it on Friday. It's a VERY nice piece, IMHO, at good as the equivalent Fluke model. It does everything and has a very nice feature called "Go/NoGo" for matching values. I set it to a value of a PPA resistor (say 4.32k) and then set it to 0.1% accuracy and it gives me a good/nogood message for each resistor I test that is within the range. Makes matching values super-fast compared to my old unit.

It's mA measurement is very good, it's a 50,000 count unit so it's 0.05% accurate.

I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the tip Morsel, I would have never considered it if you hadn't mentioned it existed!

Glad to be of service.

Unless I'm missing something, the specs show a .2% accuracy for resistance measurements

How about this DMM? http://www.tequipment.net/BK5380.asp

Hello!
You worked with PROTEK 608,
I ask the help on a following question.
I like the device PROTEK 608, on the parameters and I wish it to buy.
Long time I is successful use in work PROTEK 505. In 608 function of measurement of ”ZENER DIODES” disturbs only. Whether it is possible for it to use safely at measurement complex electronic circuits, containing various ICs and transistors etc..
In fact in this mode the device gives out 20 V what can damage some elements? That shows the second disply at measurement of Ohm and constant 2.5 V or real measured present.
What shows the second display at measurement of “Ohm” constant 2.5V in or the real measured voltage , to use for check of diodes and transistors in circuits(manual range select)?
