The DT3266L deserves a mention, although it is firmly steered towards the jobbing electrician rather than electronic/audio work.
There are several different versions, my 'L' model has less bells and whistles than some variants, but does have plus points, not the least of which is that is was found in a skip a few years ago in the pouring rain, without leads, but in working order. If i was to try it on Mains, i would have the back off it for at least a visual check. i haven't checked accuracy apart from resistance, which is quite good for this end of the market.
Limitations of this version:
Resolution 1 ohm, 1 volt AC/DC, (Clamp only- 10mA AC)
No DC current facility as the 'L' lacks a hall effect sensor.
The AC and DC symbols could, and should, be larger and clearer.
Maximum resistance measurement 2Meg
Good points:
Screen Hold
Rotary selector quite precise despite small size
Mains voltage sensing LED, Black lead insulation held in hand and Red Probe touched to test piece. (Thinks: Is this a good or a bad thing..?)
Feels quite robust, good screen contrast.
