Build a dedicated ammeter using a DPM or analog meter. I never use the built in amps function in a multimeter since I usually forget to put back the probes to the voltage jacks then when I measure the wall outlet voltage, Bang.
Newer high end DMM's will protest very loudly if you have the leads in the ammeter socket and are on volts mode.
PITA to replace the fuse in a fluke meter. Almost every fluke meter I've encountered (8010 is the exception) has stupidly expensive fuses.
