Can anyone recommend a good multimeter?

[ehko]

Does anyone have a multimeter that they love? One thats reliable, can measure such small voltages and doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Thanks,
ehko

This one was recommended to me by several people. I got one and it is great. Good price and quality. Multimeter

Do what ^^^^ said... I was about to post but that at that price is going to be difficult to beat. -Magnus


NOTE: I was going to say a Fluke 114 or 117 if you had the money but arm/leg and viola that wasn't an option. If you want to spend though you can get a 114 for under $100 if you Froogle.. 117 for a bit over..

eBay, Harbor Freight, and Sears are also places to shop for an inexpensive multimeter.

Also Walmart, which has different ones in automotive and electric departments.

Just remember and I learned this the hard way: A multimeter has resistance in the wires -I think it is - so to use it accurately for ohms for checking your attys you have to hold the leads togther until it stablizes and subtract that number from the reading you get for the atty. Cisco at Avid Vaper got me straight on that.
