Why are Fluke Multitestesters so expensive?

Many a plant electrician has " become famous " by troubleshooting with a Wiggy .

It'll also trip a GFCI, so if you test from hot to ground on a GFCI protected circuit with a wiggy or other low-impedance tester, you may wonder why the circuit just went dead..for a couple seconds, anyway.

Yep, wiggins draws more than 4ma. In industrial settings there is a problem with induction that can lead you astray sometimes. I use a Knopp to verify as needed. My wiggy gets little use as it is not as sleek as the streamlined Knopp. lol

I have a Klein Tools "tough meter" that pulls something like 8mA. I use this far more than my multimeter for checking 120V and 240V circuits.
