    I have a uei dl379 as one of my back up meters, its a good reliable meter with lots of functions and reasonably priced. As for temp measurement I have lots of k type tcouple probes and clamps, a cooper atkins blue box, digicool manifold with dc thermistors and various other temp measuring tools, the cooper atkins is the most accurate and quick acting I have temp/humidity meter I have ever used. It has a permanent home in my truck next to my Bacharach h10

    UEi has upped their game as you say, Ice. I got the DT304 with four inputs. Uses K-couples.

    Thee Cooper would be great to have, but for me it takes up too much space. I have so much new electronic gear from FP and Testo I don't have the room in the truck.

    Everything is in padded pistol cases and briefcases, there is room for nothing else.

    “I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”
    ― Benjamin Franklin

    whatever is fastest and most accurate.

    i prefer cooper-atkins

    and my testo 905T2 is most awesome for quick surface temps

    i also have a fieldpiece dual temp meter that uses more readily available type K probes, and it is by far the best bang for your buck!

    I have the Cooper SH66, my second one (first one in black case was stolen)for about 10 years now. I used to use the FLuke TK80, that went bad after about 10 years of beating on it. I still use the thermocouple sensors on my Fluke 116 meter and they also work fine with a little pin converter.
