I'm planning to buy a multimeter or VOM soon, and would like some input. There are many models to choose from, but I don't want to spend more money than I have to. I will use it for general tests aroung the house and farm, and when troubleshooting on my tractors. Are there any options I should look for, or stay clear of? I think digital is a likely choice. Auto range, number of ranges, overload protected, etc?
Thanks for your help.
