Fluke makes some of the best meters out there. I got one 4 years ago and have been using it for installs, maintenance work, and troubleshooting I love mine. The one you are looking at is a little bit older but it will work just fine my neighbor has a fluke that is 12 years old and still works good.

This is the one I would recommend http://us.fluke.com/usen/products/Fluke80SeriesV.htm or something simulator.

The only bad thing about them, as that eBay ad states. They have to be calibrated about once a year. I'm not sure how much that costs, but you have to ship it out to get it calibrated.

But they're FTW.

Yeah, good thing the one on ebay has being calibrated already. Well that's what the seller states in the description, I hope its true.

I have been using mine for 4 years now and haven noticed that it need to be calibrated I just looked threw my manual and doesn't say anything about it needing that but I will look into it.

If you do any intricate work, it needs to be calibrated! I have a friend who is an electrician and he had to provide proof of calibration of his Fluke equipment before he was allowed to go on certain jobs. Some of the bigger jobs he was a part of required calibration every few months

That Fluke 70 series looks really nice, I might just buy that one.

The one on ebay seems really good for the preice too though.

The fluke 115 is probably the best budget meter, it does everything you would need for installing.
