handheld voltmeter

Any opinions for a decent quality hand held voltmeter (and/or multimeter) for tube biasing? I know Radio Shack sells them, but maybe you've got a better recommendation? Really only need one that measures milliwatts - no?

I've had mine for almost thirty years. Some reviews from users: (http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/4518) Of course, there are less expensive models too.

Be certain what you get has plug-in leads. Then again- spring for a Fluke, and you'll never regret it.
