Thanks again all. I think I'll end up getting the fluke t5 600 meter. Looks like the most "belt friendly" model out there. Sears has them for $99.98 but I think I'll support my local electical store which is only $2 more!!
Thanks for the link to the tools. Don't think I could manage that at one time so maybe I'll just make a list and pick them up as I can afford them. Looks like klien is the ring leader of electrical tools.
Thanks again for all the tips and help.
