Klein Tools MM720 1000V TRMS Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter

This would be my 4th multi meter from Klein, I will start with the first had issues so it was replaced with a newer model and I happen to crush it the first day in a machine, still works but had issues, third meter was a cheaper combo kit , the fourth was this and I had high hopes considering it was the highest end one at the time. The good would be it has many features and is pretty versatile so if your a hobbiest and want a fancy meter then this is a really a good meter, if your in the trades then I would run far away and pick another brand or cheaper model. I purchased this roughly 2 years ago with light to medium use and it almost ALWAYS shows that the battery is dead despite them not, this will make the meter shut off randomly during use making it very frustrating , I have had issues with viewing the display even though it's advertised saying the display is viewable in any condition, lastly the terminals where the leads plug in don't seat right causing them to pop out most of the time and give false readings, I have been zapped assuming the power was off and I have misdiagnosed motors and cables because due to the bad lead connections it would give the wrong resistance readings. So overall I won't be purchings another Klein meter again , they should last much longer then 2 years . I'll be pulling my 20 year old fluke out to replace this untill I can get a newer fluke or other alternative.

I would not recommend meter MM720 due to the display. If you are using this meter outdoors in vehicle trouble shooting or trouble shooting pool pumps or any outside components in bright sun light. The display is impossible to read. If I could, I would return it. I would purchase a meter without the Reverse Contrast screen.
