Which multimeter?

[Matt..]

I need to get a multimeter for a present (exciting isn't it!) and have no idea what i should be getting!

Price should be £30-£40, so no Fluke's please

If you have any ideas on which are good models then that would be really appreciated.


Thanks

Probably just DIY around the house and maybe with the car too... i can't be that much more specific unfortunately.


I am thinking of either:
Draper 78997 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-78997-Autoranging-D...
or
Extech EX330 - http://uk.farnell.com/extech-instruments/ex330/mul...

Unless you really need an autoranging one you can get a decent one from machinemart for under a tenner, I have an all singing and dancing one for work, its all a bit overkill really.

although there's nothing like a bit of tool porn, and buying expensive stuff can make you feel warm and fuzzy inside

I bought the Extech EX330 Seems like the best one for that kind of money, and should last a long time!

I got one from B&Q for £10, but all it does is give me a decimal point, so it's going back.
