Had to choose between a $30 Klein volt tester and a $150 Fluke multimeter for my first service call

I grabbed the Klein because it was cheaper and fit in my pocket better, but after 2 weeks and 3 false readings on a 3-way switch circuit, I swapped to the Fluke and havent looked back, anyone else regret cheaping out on testers early on?

Hit up Facebook marketplace or pawn shops for a used Fluke 175. Should run you about sixty bucks and itll still outlast any new Klein you can buy.

Gotta love paying for the privilege of finding out the hard way.
