I work in a production environment where mechanics (including myself) have to work on anything and everything. We have different professional experience: someone was a sanitary welder, someone came from auto mechanics, someone has experience in automation and robotics, someone was just a production mechanic for a long time. We don't usually look at the component level (down to the resistor for example) but identify the failed board, relay or power supply, replace it and keep the equipment running. More than 90% of us use this particular multimeter. It's fast, it's easy, it tells us what the line voltage is, or if a fuse has blown, or if the circuit is really off, so we can pull things out. There are multimeters with more features, and there are many that appear to have more features but cost less. Fluke is the industry standard. I trust the readings I get from this gauge and I've spent years using another one that gave me inconsistent readings. It is full-time capable for industrial use. It does all the common tasks I've come to expect from a multimeter, quickly and easily. I make very little use of this current claw on top. If this is important to you then you already know this but most of the cables I work with are bundled in the same sleeve and you need a separate cable for this feature to tell you anything. If you put both a hot wire and a neutral wire in that little claw, it won't work.
