Are those all the meters you are reviewing? I'd be interested in the

I have these things called "opposable thumbs." Maybe I should post a
video blog and show people how they work.

Hey, I can do the Hitchhiker's Thumb thing. Who else can/can't?

5 of them, yes, in the $100 shootout. Some others I already have reviewed
(Flukes 87, 28, Agilent, Gossen, + 5 x $50 ones), and some are just old
meters I had lying around.
