I have a $10 Radio Shack analog meter (cigrarette pack size) that does 99% of my troubleshooting. It cannot measure 1 ohm, so I use the $50 analog meter for that. The $50. meter gets used once every two years.........if that.
I don't comment on the function of digital meters. Too many folks have gotten way too confused by their displays and their questionable accuracy and repeatability. This might be due to the fact that they are low cost meters.........
