[AT] Multimeters--recomendation?

[Mike Sloane]

I bought a digital meter from Harbor Freight that I like very much. It 
was only $20, but it came with a rubber case, leads, frequency meter 
(useful for setting up my backup generator), temperature probe, tilting 
display and the usual volts/amps/ohms measurements (the ad copy doesn't 
mention ohms for some reason), plus auto off, short circuit "beeper, and 
data hold (the ad calls it "date hold"!). I have been using it for a 
year or so, and it has been very handy. So far, it has done everything 
that my old Fluke can do, but I don't worry so much about damaging it 
when outdoors or balanced on a rear tire.
