Texas Instruments or Casio?
Casio is so lame in the calculator department XD I mean, if you're gonna buy something, get it from the specialists!

TI. Specifically, the TI-86.
Better question, Simpson or Fluke?

Fluke! Definitely Fluke! Fluke is to TI as Simpson is to Casio. Dem Fluke multimeters though... ridiculously expensive. I think I told you at one point I was attracted to a multimeter. It wasn't Fluke--was an Ideal. I still have it, but I'm not in love anymore XD

For what I do, a Simpson 260 is perfect. Flukes don't have the same level of accuracy when you're dealing with tenths of an ohm. The Simpson at the shop is from the mid-1950s. Pre-PCB, even. Still works fine for checking winding lengths.
We also have an ideal armature tester. Don't know when it was made, but it was a post-War model that was discontinued in 1958, according to the manufacturer. Don't know how Ideal is now, but they certainly built tanks back then!

Wow o.o 1/10 ohm accuracy that's insane :o esp for something that old!
