Hmmm... My 3+ decade old generic multimeter isn't showing any current draw, but when I try to reattach my truck battery lead I'm hearing sparking. Soooo... any suggestions for a good basic digital multimeter? Is it still spend the bucks for the Fluke because I got 3 decades out of this one?

Sparking? Could be transient current that a standard meter won't do a good job of picking up.

Think it was that the fuse in the multimeter was blown out. And automotive work probably also really wants a multimeter that can deal handily with more than 10A.
Eventually mostly sorted the issues in the truck, I think, though I still don't entirely trust it.
