Have you checked places like Harbor Freight, or Radio Shack. I bought an anolog multimeter at Rat-Shack a couple years ago for $15 bucks. Nothing fancy, was good to 600vac/300vdc & had an ohmeter for checking continuity.

Didn't see it just now but a few years ago I bought a multimeter/battery checker from Towerhobbies. Since it provided the load for testing batteries it was worth what I paid for it.

But the one you showed looked ok to me - you get what you pay for.

Thanks,
Bob

I agree, looks OK but you get what you pay for.

If you're willing to wait 25 days like their ad says, you should watch Radio Shack or Sears/K-Mart for a sale. Oddly, I've bought Sears tools cheaper at K-Mart on occasion. (They own Sears). Local service/warranty is a big plus too.
