Boy, this one pops up regularly !

I'm still advocating the Dick Smith one, designed by Bob Parker of
Australia, who pops up on here regularly. It's generally known by the name "
Genie ". It's available virtually worldwide, in kit form or ready built, at
a VERY reasonable price. It has a digital display, auto zero, auto off, is
uP controlled, has a table of typical values to be expected, legended on the
front, auto ranging, large clear 7 seg LEDs for the readout, and is quick,
easy and unambiguous to use. I have been using mine almost daily in a
hostile commercial workshop environment for about 3 years now, and it has
never let me down. It paid for itself in saved time, in the first week.

There are many available, but few that cost so little, but do the job so
well. I would recommend this meter, unreservedly.
