I think meters are like shirts - one size does NOT fit all. I have my 20 year old Fluke 73, several $2.99 Harbor Freight DMMs and some in between. Each fills a need. In the case of the Harbor Freight it is almost cheaper to buy a new meter than replace the 9v battery. When you blow up a cheap meter you can just pull out a spare and get back to work.

I looking to purchase a decent DMM and would appreciate any recommendations of specific models. I've had two crappy Radio Shack DMMs blow up on me. Each time I bought one, I promised myself it was only until I could get something good ordered and then promptly put it off. Well now I'm DMM-less again and I'm in the middle of installing my 3080 option.

I'm looking through the Mouser catalog and there are so many choices. I guess I can't go wrong with a Fluke. Would like something for <$100 but I don't want to be buying one again in two months.

No HV or special requirements.  Thanks in advance.
