The $2.99 meter at Harbor freight has removable leads, 1000VDC and 750VAC ranges, Ohms200 to 2000K, 10ADC and 200maAC and includes a transistor tester and back lighting. I usually buy 5 each time I am in there and I sometimes use them as panel meters in projects if there is room behind the panel. Just set them to the scale you want, mount behind a rectangular cutout to view the face, use a 9V zener to grab a little power from the main circuit of the project....or if you dont mind changing the battery, leave it as is. Its cheaper than you can buy a panel meter and you can set it to what ever range you want and label it below the viewing port as to what it is reading. Save the leads for when you connect your bench unit to a high voltage circuit with it in AMPS mode and burn up a lead. .......Dont ask how I know. BTW, its fused so only the lead takes the hit.
