Yeah I "Elike" how they intentionally made the logo look like "Fluke" to the casual glance.
I read where a huge shipment of DMMs from China was seized and destroyed by Customs because the models looked exactly like a fluke model.

I have found the the biggest flaw in the cheap DMMs (like the HF one) is the dial/knob, they break easily.
Treat them like they are made of glass and they will work fine.
You can drop a 'REAL FLUKE' > 10 feet onto concrete or abuse the dial and not break it.
You get what you pay for, but I agree a $10 DMM is better than none.
