Finally caved and bought a digital multimeter with auto-ranging after 8 years of manual
I always thought auto-ranging was a gimmick and not worth the extra $50 lol. Kept using my old Fluke 77 that I scooped at a pawn shop in Phoenix back in 2016. Last week I was troubleshooting a pitot static system and kept flipping the dial between ohms and volts like an idiot, wasted 20 minutes. Borrowed a coworker's Klein MM600 and it just figured out the range for me instantly. Has anyone else switched and felt dumb for waiting so long?

Man that pitot static situation sounds brutal, total mood killer.

I don't know, is flipping a dial on a multimeter really that big of a deal? It takes like two seconds. I've been using a manual range one for like 12 years and I've never had a moment where I felt like I was wasting a ton of time on it. Sounds more like you were just having a rough day with that pitot tube.
