Yep, that part is the pits. But I only need it once in a while, to
install an FTP for a client etc.

But the uptime is amazing.

That came with the package many years ago, the CD instantly became a

I have half a dozen of these here, and so do some clients now. They are
great. The only thing that's a bit hokey are the yellow on switches.
With some careful contact re-bending one can make them work again though.

The big Cen-Tech P37772 is quite good as well. Large tiltable LCD,
Holster, and all that. Occasionally it seems to freeze in hold mode but
it aint' so bad, other meters do that as well. For around $20 I can't
complain:

Why don't they list prices anymore?

That site never listed prices, since it is used to order from their
printed catalog for delivery.

http://www.harborfreight.com is the site for the retail stores and it
has the prices. BTW, they just switched over to their new website
layout today.

<http://www.harborfreight.com/ac-dc-digital-multimeter-37772.html> shws
the current price as $24.99

Is a nice meter. It normally sells for $59.99 but isn't listed on the
retail site right now. I bought one for $39.99 a couple months ago. It
has a sound level meter and light meter function the others don't
