That Skytronics DMM appears to be identical to my M4800, except that the highest DC current range on the 3800 is 20A rather than 10, not that I'd use the leads/probes supplied for high DC ranges. I find the 3800 very useful, but miss the auto-ranging feature of my Fluke 75. The 3800 I have, bought at the NVCF a few years ago, doesn't have a CE mark or the 'Cat II' mark between the 'COM' and 'V Ohm' sockets. It may be a Chinese copy of the original M3800, but there is no indication on the meter, the box in which it came, or the instruction booklet, as to it's country of origin. Regarding test leads & probes, as well as being 'fit for purpose, one of my pet hates is that few have probes that can be rewired without cutting the probe open to gain access to the probe tip end. Perhaps the best lead sets available are the genuine Fluke ones.
