Another case of "planned obsolesence"?

So you never answered our earlier questions about why you were getting such short battery life with your meter.
I wonder if it's so cheap that it was never really "off", even if it was turned off. (I've used other cheap devices with this problem, where you'd have to actually remove the batteries if you didn't want them to run down.)
For 99% of typical applications, the cheap multimeters work fine. And if you blow one, it's not a big loss.
Perhaps, we learn from mistakes .
Nice posting

My take:
1. New design...accurate Voltage measurements necessary. I use my old Fluke 77. Great meter after all these years.

My old Fluke 8060A is still going strong.
Fluke's are great meters

Also found checking HV switching transistors that are leaky will only show up using a Megger meter.I agree absolutely. Not for repairs though. There you need Analogue to tell you the truth 100% of the time with Semiconductor junctions.
My take over the last 20 years or so. I have fixed many sets with faulty...not completely failed junctions on Transistors and Diodes that have been missed by guys using Digital meters only.
Find the faulty component. Test it on the YEW. Give the the component to the Digital guy. Ask him to test it. Fine he says.
Replace component. Set is fixed.
Every time
