The 27 is O-ring sealed, built for mine safety, and all that good stuff. Doubles as a hammer. I'd think it would be the best one to have bouncing around in the car. I still have mine (somewhere) and it has to be over 20 years old.Don't be in a hurry to upgrade. I have the new 189 and it has some nice features but it is big and....well....I liked my old model 87 more....what can I say. They also changed the amp probes....for the worse.....and the lifetime warranty looks to have gone away as well.
