My old multimeter gave up the ghost mid-diagnosis on a fridge

It was a cheap one I've had for maybe 8 years. The display just went blank while I was checking the compressor windings. Had to run to the supply house for a new one, which set me back about $80. What's your go-to reliable brand for test gear these days?

Fluke's pricey but lasts forever.

My buddy's cheap meter died during a car repair and stranded him. He finally bought a Klein Tools unit that's been solid for years now. Sometimes you just have to spend a bit more upfront.
