Basic but decent DMM recommendation?
I assume using a DMM will make tuning easier and more accurate, so I'd like to try it. Can anyone recommend a basic, cost effective (but decent quality), accurate DMM? I have gotten the Harbor Freight (Cen-Tech) one twice, but both times they were defective (leads pulled off). I'm not sure it's even an option.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I got about 10 floating at my house and friends... (they usually are free with a coupon LOL).
They did the job for me dialing in in the beginning (got O-scope now).
Their upgraded one with the Amp clamp is better.
it is not about putting it right on the money when dialing in.

I ended up getting the TRMS Digital Multimeter eM860T partly based on this
. It's a True RMS, Auto Ranging DMM that is easy to read and has more functions than I will ever know what to do with. Search Amazon for True RMS Digital Multimeter and you will find lots of choices.

Thanks guys! Looks like I might try another free HF to start (I'll open it there to make sure leads are attached to the wires). If I purchase one, the eM860T looks like a great option.
I really appreciate it!

Thanks MAK! I was looking at this video online this morning after I saw your first post because I've used and own Extech light meters and find their stuff cost effective, fairly durable, and easy to use.
