Years ago Gene Berg tested every kind of electronic gauge that he could 
find that was being sold for use on cars. He was hoping that he could find 
one that was consistently reliable at a reasonable price so he could sell 
them.

Nothing he tested was good enough for him to sell it and stand behind it.
It has nothing to do with good grounds or a clean electrical supply. It's just 
that unless you're willing to pay for laboratory quality you'll not get that kind 
of accuracy.

Yes, I agree, it's sad, but it's true.
