A recent trend among tool manufacturers is to add product lines that are a departure from their established market niche. A good example is Klein Tools' recent introduction of a line of testing equipment, which includes two digital multimeters. Bruce Kuhn, Klein product manager, said Klein research found most electricians are not looking for multimeters that do more than measure voltage, resistance and continuity; that meet CAT IV safety standards; and that have exceptional input protection. "It is not so much about how many things a meter does," Kuhn said. "It is more about how well it can do the few items it needs to do."
