An essential tool for a modern propmaker is a multimeter for any kind of electronics work, whether for testing lighting circuits or troubleshooting wiring work. And while Adam has relied on his trusty Fluke 77 multimeter for years, getting an electronics multimeter to start your toolkit can be affordable too. That’s why he’s a fan of Fluke’s compact entry-level multimeter, which costs less than $45 and gets the job done!

  1. I use this meter over my tryhard stuff for easy diag. situations. Along with my Test Light.
    Although it adds to the price, I’d highly recommend combo-ing this or any meter in general with the LOADpro Test Leads for an even more well rounded setup.
    Keep in mind, if the LOADpro is out of your price range, you can look up videos on how to make your own for cheap. All it does is put a 0.5amp load on your voltage check when you hit the button, as a Loaded Voltage check is more reliable than an unloaded Voltage check, as you can get 12.6v over 1 strand of wire. The 0.5amp LOADpro button would expose that one strand, causing the 12.6v to drop drastically, telling you there’s something wrong, and that the circuit isn’t just fine because you saw 12.6v unloaded(1 strand of wire, not enough to care the amps to run the circuit under load.)
