Laurence,
Good points.
What I do for shady tree calibration is to first measure the voltage on my truck (it is usually about 12.6). Then I know how to apply "windage" for the vehicle being tested. (I too use the Harbor Freight meters most of the time.)

A quality multimeter is a good investment for your auto shop. Knowing exactly what voltage is good. A bad multimeter might say for instance 12.3v but it could be 13 or 11. You can get a multimeter from Harbor Freight for 3 bucks. They work but must be calibrated by a known source of voltage. I use them to keep time off my Mastech(Fluke) clone I got from Jameco which is a place for higher quality multimeters. Also find a multimeter that uses 9v battery or double or triple a batteries. Nothing worse than a multimeter that eats expensive small cell batteries like a hearing aid batteries. Lawrence Rhodes
