I speak as a person who has expensive stuff for medical electronics and cheaper stuff for auto's & boats
The one clayt74 points out above would be totally adequate for the type of use you mention - nothing wrong with that
at a similar level, > Note neither has ac current measurement - but you may never need it (both got dc current)
CPC do a Tenma 72-7770 for £7 http://cpc.farnell.com/tenma/72-7770/dig...dp/IN04414
or if you would like one that auto ranges so that you only have to select the right function and make sure you have the leads in the right holes (don't forget that bit)
CPC do the Tenma 72-7765 for £13 http://cpc.farnell.com/tenma/72-7765/dig...dp/IN04413
this one also got ac current
That's the one I would probably recomend
garyb 's meter looks simple to use but does not have any current measurement without an optional current clamp.
Flukes are nice, I use one, but I think you pay for the name
hope that helps
Steve
