Hence the protective rubber coverings- but what really rocks is their lead kits, what with the variety of pincers and probes that come with them-
Pricey as can be unless you have a contractor’s account though-

Actually the same in my marina regarding alpha-numeric slip numbers-
Having owned a data cabling company, I'm not overly fond of Fluke.
Due to a change in QC and change in origin of production perhaps?
The reason I ask is that a friend of mine, an electrical engineer with patents to his name, never had a complaint, apart from that high price they wanted for replacement battery connectors that had been damaged by alkaline battery leakage. In his case, the particular unit was logic circuit capable in addition to testing for capacitance and other measurements beyond your typical volts, current, and ohms-
My first contact was in the military myself.

I do field service these days
Following the natural progression:
Farm equipment
Heavy equipment
car wash
Commercial appliances
although I seem to be getting more residential appliances lately. All of those coming from my mother or my FSU (female spousal unit)

So it’s finally coming to me out of a Friday evening’s cloud of iced whiskey and coke, that I’ve owned three of their units, one of which I gave to a friend due to its redundancy-
Please expound as to what is your beef with Fluke?
Not doubting your sincerity or veracity, but wanting to know why.

Can you take a look at our ice maker?
Nice! Looks like what a friend in HS used to play. He called and "F horn" (sp?). Said it was kind of the same as a french but shaped like a baritone (which I played for a short while).
Cool. Always loved JW--that he played a babybird was a bonus. That was a great album. As were all of his, that I had anyway.
I didn't remember seeing Dave M playing one.
Mine too. But it just checks for electrical current and continuity, and probably something else beyond my skill. I like it because it does a small amount of things and that is about my skill level. I've had it for over 20 years and it still works fine.

Usually a street will begin with three digits or four, if long enough like a highway it will go higher. Typically the first block is 100 or 1000 block of Oak street and alternate as yours. I say usually and typically as there are some exceptions. My address is 3529 Hardw..... There are nowhere near that many houses in the entire neighborhood, much less our street. I think developers at times pick 4 digit addresses because is "sounds better" to someone. I'm not sure it makes any sense and have never heard a real explanation.This is OT.
Some of you(99%?) are from the US. One thing that has confused / amazed me over the many years are the house numbers we see on TV shows and movies. How long are your streets?!?!
Here, in Sydney anyway, every individual street is numbered. Odd numbers on one side starting from 1, even numbers on the other starting from 2. Sometimes, the numbers will restart if the road goes into the next suburb. So it is rare for numbers to be in the thousands (it can happen on Highways).
It seems that on TV every characters house number is 4 digits long. In a movie last night a shop address was 10 thousand and something!
Our format is house/lot number with the street name and type; then suburb state and post code. eg
25 George Street
Ashbury NSW 2193. (Postcodes start with a number that indicates the State. 2=NSW, 3=Vic etc; except for some special ones).
So I expect you use a different numbering scheme???
I don't know. I plead ignorance and age. HS was a long time ago!
In case someone wants a Nerdbird. I do like my '64. It's nearly mint but doesn't have the covers or mutes, other than that it about as nice as this one. As much as I like mine I will sell it for less than $8k.
Looks like he's been fishing a long time.

What’s an ‘HS’ pray tell?
And in this case I’m too tired and intoxicated too hazard an online guess-
So here’s the reference by Waco, Texas commentator Marvin Zindfler of ‘that little house in La Grange’ fame -
and regarding that-
