How could you *not* buy a DMM for $3?


The temptation is non-existent. I'd rather spend $100+ and not be
annoyed and deceived every time I use it. I honestly do not understand
the appeal of cheap tools.


For work where precision is needed, or where people are paying you, I
agree with you. For ****ant stuff around the house, where you are merely
looking to see if something is worth sweeping off a corner of the bench
and digging out the real tools, 'good enough' tools can be useful. And
for tools to keep in the desk at the office, where stuff tends to grow
legs, I don't wanna keep anything I would cry over if it vanished.
