I found myself pretty nervous about the part where it says "/*NOTE:*

/A multimeter can live a fairly rough life. I'm sure there are many
manufacturers that make quality, rugged units, but from just the web
page below we have no way of telling if this is one of them. The NOTE
makes me think otherwise about this unit, both in electronic and
mechanical quality.

Lacking any specific unit recommendations, depending which of the listed
measurement modes you need, I recommend you get the real thing, such as
from Fluke. Here is a unit close to what you're looking at, the Fluke 110:

Amazon has it for $93; I'm sure you could find a better price if you
looked hard enough.

Here's the whole line:

I've had a model 77 for 20 years. It has survived a lot of mistreatment.
