As ohers have said, can't go wrong with Fluke.

Buy two, a Fluke and a cheapo one. Use the cheapo one when you just need
to buzz out lightbulbs, check batteries, whatever, and use the Fluke when it
actually matters.

The cost of a fuse for a Fluke can be as much as a whole cheap multimeter,
so you live to regret testing the voltage of a D cell but the probes plugged
in for current mode. And the cheapo one comes in handy when you pick up the
Fluke and discover the battery is flat *again* (I know it's a problem in
the Fluke 83, not sure about others).

In fact, buy several cheapo ones and leave one in the shed, one in the car,
etc. Then there's always one about when you need it.
