Fun trivia... did you know the guy who started Fluke, John Fluke, was good friends with the Packard of Hewlett Packard?

Really, didn't know that. Hey do you know what they call those who need advice about MM's ? Armatures lol.

The one thing I don't have, and I really wish I did have, is a DC amp clamp. I have AC only. Might sell my Klein and get the AC/DC clamp I've been eyeing....

I was just saying I don't need to know values to the hundred thousandths of a volt is all. I'll do some digging around and see what kind of deals I can find.

I like that test lead connect/holder they have on that one...right on the clamp! Handy, frees up hand lol. I have those on the 88v, but they're in the back.

The Greenlee we have at work has that too. It's pretty handy.

I let it soak for 30 minutes.... think the bottle said 15, IIRC. So I doubled it.

Also, I just flush until the rust is gone and tack on another couple minutes. I don't know how **** you are about your coolant, but I also pre-filled the core with antifreeze because I didn't want hose water in the system.
