            Customer service baseball bat. Occasionally one needs percussive maintenance and my hands are critical to making my living.

            I hope that qualifies under "favorite" more than "most used".

              Why not both?

                  The equipment would be safe that's for sure.

                    Fluke makes great stuff. Hard to go wrong with their stuff in your "go bag." And another vote for a large USB stick. And if you can find a small screwdriver kit with a lot of different sizes and types and don't forget about Torx.

                    Yes,.. Fluke is the standard when talking about testing and metering. I would love to have some of their gear,.. but there is a limit on what I need / much less afford. They make some of the best DVM and network tools.

                        Absolutely agree. You'll pry my 179 from my cold dead fingers.

                              @gjacobse I should have purchased a 179 instead of the many cheaper brands i've purchased.

                                Any chance you could hook me up with a fuse for my 179? I'm really attached to both my arms and legs which seems to be the going rate for one of them.

                                      Why, hello there! Unfortunately, Fluke and Fluke Networks are actually two separate operating companies (most people don't know that) and although I can usually track down answers to questions, I don't have any pull when it comes to getting free Fluke stuff. 😕 But if you ever need help on the networking gear, I'm your girl!

                                        Yikes - Found it on DigiKey,.. not much better on price.

                                        Guess that is reason enough to move to the States?
