Might as well call it a TriCorder.

Its to much unless you have a need for a Sound Level Meter, Light Meter, Humidity Meter, Temperature Meter as well as a Multimeter.

Does look like a decent piece of equipment but its way more than you'll need, and the more things they stuff into it the more there is to go wrong.

A cheap (under $20) meter will be plenty accurate, and have the functions you need for basic electronics work.
