Didn't know they made one like that. I did a search for it and see that it's discontinued. But I did stumble across another basic Fluke meter that would be a great starting point for anyone, I think. No amp measuring but very few people use that feature, and on a car you can use voltage drop as a clue. The Fluke 101. Appropriate. And it's small. Very tempting to get a spare. https://www.amazon.com/Fluke-101-Multimeter-Resistance-Capacitance/dp/B00HE6MIJY/ref=sr_1_9_mod_primary_new?dchild=1&keywords=fluke+16+multimeter&qid=1608065034&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sr=8-9 I've had that meter for over 20 years now. It was a Christmas gift from my late mother based on a suggestion from my brother. I tend to use a clamp on ammeter on the car similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SQ4UETO. It's not precise at all, but it also won't blow up if you have too much current or if you don't have the polarity right. It's great to find a battery drain. Just look on Amazon for test lead kits. The Fluke kits are not cheap, but they are good.
