I am looking for an automotive multimeter, and I've heard that Sunpro 7678
is pretty good. I checked around lately and found that Sears want $99 and
Autozone want $89. It seems just a bit expensive to me.  
Does anyone know a mailorder place that has a lower price for the Sunpro
7678?


Albert,
I bought the Sunpro 7678 from Western Auto/Parts America about six months
ago for $80 and got a $10 rebate, which is still available thru July 31.
Check out the Sunpro website at http://www.actron.com/suncoupn.htm

BUT...When I bought it there were two on the shelf.  One was yellow and
said made in Korea.  The other was black and said Made in China.  Both are
Sunpro 7678 with identical specs, but slight differences in appearance.

LATER...I later learned of a better deal advertised in GRIOT's catalog. 
Theirs is $50 and looks identical to the Sunpro 7678.  I called
Griot's...they told me their DMM is "no name" other than Griot's and they
are not permitted to say who makes it for them.
