what type? for me personally, I need this: 1. auto-power off, the battery money is enough to pay for the dfferences and save the trouble as well. 2. if I use it in front of client, I use Fluke. So to save time answering questions like "what kind of meter is it? is your meter accurate?" 3. 2 type of fluke - the super easy to use, Fluke 10 series, so I can use my hand more productivity when measuring. And one with feature pack so to reduce the meter-cluster (I have not decided), this I might not need a fluke, thinking multitech here. 4. get a meter probe kits from pomona. 5. and make yourself more clips to go with your meter, you can use the CD sleeve to organise them.
