[AT] Multimeters--recommendation?

I think my better multimeter came from Radio Shack.  It's digital, but the
dial ones are a lot easier to use for automotive and tractor work.  My
digital won't tell me if a trailer turnsignal is really working or not, the
changing current drives it nuts.

Some digitals have a "bar" at the bottom that functions a lot like the
needle on the dial meters, maybe that would be the best of both worlds.  My
old dial meter didn't have the tone for continuity, that is really handy.

But when you needed that special puller for the old tapered rear axle brake
drums, you NEEDED it, nothing else worked.
