Multi meter recommendation

Posted by gonzo (A) on September 26, 2016 at 09:16:03

My old analog basic rat shack multimeter died, must have been 30 yrs+ old. Some years ago when I thought I would learn more and attempt basic repair I bought a fluke 87 Mk Iv. Well, I am in my mid to late 60's, my brain doesn't work as well as it used to, and this meter is just too complex for me and my occasional needs. I hate needing a manual just to use it. So, is there an inexpensive, simpler but good multimeter. I will be checking continuity, ohms, volts capacitance, basic stuff, but it needs to be simple and obvious to use. Thanks for any ideas.
