    Nothing fancy but a fair price for the pair.

    I have had some pretty bad luck with the accuracy on these cheaper Craftsman meters. I am not nitpicking, I mean REALLY off. I tend to reach for my Fluke because I need somewhat accurate readings.

    Sure, but someone who has a Fluke probably isn't going to bother with a cheap meter at all unless they're in a situation where they are tired of their expensive meters being stolen at a jobsite.

    For some uses even if you're off by 10%, the reading is close enough to be useful.

    This does a job when needed and lets you know close to what things are. This is less then a 10th of the price of a fluke. Good for throwing at grunts.

    Don't forget to train your grunt to use the voltage detector. It could keep him grunting longer.
