https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/7cb3bb8b-f517-4f44-a141-d6ff75603544 Trying to figure out what multimeter to buy as an apprentice electrician? In this video, Dustin breaks down what actually matters in the field, from digital multimeters and electrical testers to clamp meters, continuity, current readings, frequency, and CAT safety ratings. ⚡ You’ll see why a standard DMM is useful, but may not be the best first meter for many electricians. We compare how a compact tester like the Fluke T6-1000 can make everyday voltage, current, and continuity checks easier, and why a clamp meter like the Fluke 376 FC with iFlex can be a better fit when you’re working around larger conductors, parallel feeds, motors, and commercial or industrial gear. Big thanks to Fluke for sponsoring this video. We’re using the Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter, Fluke T6-1000 Electrical Tester, and Fluke 376 FC True-RMS Clamp Meter with iFlex. Check them out at https://www.fluke.com/ and use discount code ElectricianU12. #ad We also cover why CAT III and CAT IV ratings matter, why lead ratings need to match your meter, and why taking care of your test equipment is not optional. Your meter is part troubleshooting tool, part safety tool, and it needs to be something you can trust. 🧰 Whether you’re a homeowner, DIYer, apprentice, journeyman, or master electrician, this guide will help you understand which meter features are worth paying for and which ones you may not need yet. 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - DMM 04:23 - Tester l 09:14 - Clamp Meter 13:04 - CAT Ratings 16:18 - Take Care of Your Tools 🤘⚡️EU Learning System⚡️🤘 For Individuals --- https://electricianu.com/learning-system-for-individuals/ For Businesses --- https://electricianu.com/learning-system-for-businesses/ -Video courses on every side of the electrical trade (theory, code, safety, wiring, install, troubleshooting, leadership, and more) -Practice exams for 2017, 2020, 2023 code -YouTube videos categorized and searchable -Audio lessons -Forum -Business version has admin portal and ability to assign learning to technicians and monitor progress -Any business size from 2 techs to 2,000! 🎓💡CONTINUING EDUCATION💡🎓 Sign up here --- https://electricianu.com/electrician-continuing-education-online-electrician-u/ -State Approved -Video Based ✍📝PRACTICE EXAMS📝✍ Get them here --- https://electricianu.com/electrician-exam-practice-tests/ -2017, 2020, and 2023 NEC versions -Online Residential Wireman Exam -Online Journeyman Exam -Online Master Exam -300 Question Online Code Cannon (not license specific, all code) -Take as many times as you want -All of the above come with printable PDFs 🎤🎧PODCAST🎧🎤 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7ldCwdxhWnT0R3nne96XjC?si=a42a98b83c3549fc&nd=1 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/electrician-u/id1583270265 📱👍SOCIALS👍📱 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@electricianu Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/electrician_u/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheElectricianU/ Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricianU/ Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ElectricianU Discord - https://www.discord.gg/electricianu 🎧🎹Music, Editing, and Videography by Drake Descant and Rob LeBlanc🎹🎧 #electrician #electrical #electricity Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:10:45 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/7cb3bb8b-f517-4f44-a141-d6ff75603544 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
