I intend to use it for a variety of typical boat electronic things such as: use clamp-on to measure amps from alternator or maybe starter demand; simple resistance by just using the test leads; testing battery voltage; testing connections. Nothing really that advanced. The more I think about it, I probably would not really have a legitimate reason to need tenths. I do like quality tools and keep them for a very long time, so don't mind spending some money for a tool I can trust. Hope that helps.
