Fluke or for a little less money greenlee. Cheap meters can blow up. Alot of the $20 meters arent fused an certainly dont meet any of the higher Cat ratings. If your using it on 12 or 24VDC then yeah you could probably get away with a cheapie. If its AC i wouldnt take a chance on the cheapies. At my work I have to use Fluke, its company policy.
