What is the best Multimeter to buy?
For the best multimeter overall, we recommend the Fluke 117, which is a professional-quality tool that is extremely accurate, carries out a wide range of measurements,
and has desirable extra features including a backlit display, True RMS capabilities, and no-contact voltage detection.
How long do Multimeters last?
Given it’s an analog meter as long as it has not been abused it should last indefinitely. (Also you need to replace the batteries periodically, and before they leak.)
Checking calibration against a known accurate meter and making some adjustments if necessary is a good idea.
