I would go for the best Fluke in your budget. I use them at work ( ind. electrician ). I also have an analog Simpson if the need be. Flukes are built tough and are rated for higher voltages.
What multimeter / functions to look for...
I am looking for a digital multimeter to test things like current, voltage, capacitance, resistance, diodes, and continuity. If I plan to poke around my tubes and components, what other features should I be looking for? What spec ranges as well, this is confusing me too. Any particular brands you are fans of, Craftsman, Fluke, etc?
