I think that this comes down to "out-sourcing"

You can't tell me that mass-production in China is better than care and attention in the US.

This is ECN, how many people that are using these "instruments" aren't here or aren't getting these CLSB warnings?

I'm not looking to start any sort of a "bash China" thing, but the question has to be asked.
Why is stuff that should be of a certain standard (especially with the Fluke CAT ratings), failing?
I have a real problem with using something that is rated CAT III or IV on live conductors, where the PSCC could blow you and the meter to bits.
That just isn't my thing.
