OK, been using a crappy el-cheapo DMM for a while and it's getting on my nerves.
The rotary dial is irritating; if you don't get it EXACTLY in the correct spot you get weird readings and have to wiggle it to get it to read correctly. This is the 3rd product I've had (including sprinkler system controllers) that have this screwy issue with the rotary controls.
Anyway, no continuity buzzer, sleep mode, auto-off mode, low battery indicator, etc on my current DMM.
What do folks think about this one? Main use will be for arcade game repair plus a variety of minor electronic type repair. (Amazing what other items I've been able to diagnose with my current DMM including landscape lighting, light bulb testing, battery testing, power supply testing for items, etc).

On sale for $25 plus shipping. Plus I'd like to add leads that are not only the standard leads, but small alligator clips, plus something appropriate for chip legs. I think the other leads can be ordered separately.
Thoughts? Opinions?
