I got my multimeter from Harbor Freight for around $5 I think. Dirt cheap, functional and most of all, easily replaceable given the price.

I also picked up a resistor and cables (with the alligator clips) from Radio Shack to round out the meter.

If you are just getting into it, this is the cheapest kit around (total price around $10-$15).

I wanted one of those, but they've been out of stock for a few weeks. Instead, I bought a pre-wired 510 connector from Madvapes:
Prewired 510 Battery Connector, Sealed

I'm going to install it in one of my work trays and wire it to some extension leads for my (existing) multimeter. Not as nice and easy, but it'll work. Once that's done I'll check my nice meter against the HF special and see how well the HF meter does. I'm sure it'll be fine, but one never knows...
