I have a craftsman as well, but it lacks that quality feel. I have had the cheapy harbor freight meters and thats what the craftsman seams to be. Plus, with the fluke, you can measure temp and get several different leads that will adapt to all types of connections. If you want a meter that will last, its hard to beat the reputation. Plus, I got my Fluke 189 for changing out an alternator on a Lexus SC400. Guy was greatful, what can I say.
