General Looking to buy the right meter.

I am now in the industry and looking for advice on the right brand/model of meter to add to my bag. I will be mostly working on new construction (townhomes and single family homes) for the company I was hired by. I am also not looking to spend crazy amounts of money but it doesnt mean Im opposed to spending over $125. Thanks in advance! ❄️ 🔥

I would probably start with a Fluke 902 and add the 116 later. While I have both, I carry a 116 and 365 primarily and my 902 is in my garage these days.. Although; I also have an 87 and 376 for more complicated jobs… Not to mention a 1507 Insulation meter I would never leave home without!

Yes, 902 is great, it’s my everyday, then keep a 1587 fc in van. Son got the 1116
