You roasted three Radio Shack meters. Then blew the fuse in the Fluke twice. Id say its user error rather than all R/S meters are bad. I have a couple R/S VOM's and they work nearly as well as my Fluke 77 or Fluke 2043. Admittedly R/S VOM's are not as accurate when testing some logic circuits but do rather well taking basic voltage and amperage measurments. I'd suggest which ever VOM a person selects, that an shunt be used for amperage measurment that could potentialy exceed the design parameters of a given meter.
