You really can't go wrong with Fluke, they are a huge testing equipment company. http://us.fluke.com/fluke/usen/products/categorydmm
Check them out, I have the 115, I believe http://us.fluke.com/Fluke/usen/Digit....htm?PID=55993 which works great for me. Im not doing a lot of electrical work at my shop, nor do I use it everyday, but its more than I need.

For what business? Pleasure? I catch the HF one on sale for 2.99 and it works like a charm. I have several and they have different leads attached to each one so I grab the one I need based on what Im working on.

Just using it to chase down a couple issues with my Camaro. Doesn't need to be fancy, just something solid that will last a few years.

I have a craftsman one that I bought back in 2001, works well except the continuity sound does not beep anymore.

Sears has one thats less then $30 that even comes with a temp probe, they put it on half price sale, so watrch the father day sales. This enough meter for most car applications. I also have two flukes, they might be better for some electronic applications, like reading true RMS, but they're far from needed working on a car

Yeah, I ended up with a Craftsman. They had a couple Fluke products, but they were WAY out of the price range.

For general use any digital meter will work as well as any other.The thing that sucks on the cheaper ones are the leads.I have cheap H/F up to a Fluke and I like the different tips and clips you can use on the better meters.Also look into getting an analog or swing meter because when chasing wiring I get tired of watching digital numbers jumping all over the place.

I agree that for general use, an inexpensive Craftsman unit will be fine. For daily use, I love my Fluke88...I have one at work and one at home
