I'll second the suggestion of the AADE meter. Though many LCR meters claim this function, they don't typically have the resolution needed for small toroids, inductors, or caps like the AADE meter does (and as are used in many applications)
I've got the M3 semiconductor meter on order...I look forward to evaluating it, as it looks great. The multimeter level semi tests seem pretty useless to me. If one knows what the device pinout is, they'll tell you if there's junctions there...but the ohmmeter fuction of the DMM does that faster anyway. The most used piece of test gear here (after brain and DMM) is the antenna analyzer, which sees service not only for its intended use, but as a quick and dirty signal generator, spotting generator, impedance bridge, etc etc etc. Very handy and used constantly. The version I have is the Autek , but all provide roughly the same function, and I find it indispensible.
