DMM

[ppppenguin]

Unless you have unusually critical needs then the £15 or so RS meter reviewed by Mark should be fine. More than good enough for everyday work on radios, TVs etc and safe enough to use on mains. I've got one which I use as a secondary instrument and it's fine though I've not checked its accuracy. Cheap enough to chuck if you wreck it. At that price you could buy 2 or 3

I have a Fluke 87 as my main DMM, bought new many years ago for a lot of money.
