Good quality cheap multimeter (Resolved)

polymorph:
And I strongly suggest that you do NOT buy any Cen-Tech meters. The last five I bought there were filled with solder balls and bits of wire. Sad, because they used to have some decent cheap DMMs.

You buy them? I always wait for the "free" coupon...

That said, I've never had a problem with them - at least for the purpose of using them as "throwaway" meters - when I am doing something where I just need an extra readout, or where I think I might kill my "better" meter. For around the house stuff, quick continuity checking, and automotive work - they seem to work fine for me.

That said - I might crack open one my "newer" ones and see what the build quality looks like (I expect to be disappointed).
