So, I'm moving stuff around in my basement to make room for a new tool chest. I run across my toolbox that has my testers & multi-meters in it.
I use a cheapy little tester/multi-meter for around the house.
The ones in the toolbox are my calibrated Fluke MM's.
A lot of money worth of specialized MM's & attachments from my working days.
I haven't used them in years, so I figured I better check the batteries in them.
All dead, took them out. They expired in 2011.
Where I got lucky was that there were none of them had exploded. I have had Eveready Energizers explode in at least 4-5 things lately.
I will never buy another EE again. From now on, it's copper tops all the way.
