I've had at least 4 different manufacturer's meters, at best medium=20
value meters. All have had fuses on both the high and low range amps.=20
None are Fluke, BK, or Klein price range. Current meters are Greenlee=20
93-606, and UNI-T UT60A.  Within the last few days, I cleaned and lubed=20
the rotary switch contacts on the Greenlee. It was intermittent staying=20
on when turned off. :)
