Wow, did not know this topic existed. Always love threads about multimeters

I was given initially one of these little yellow $5 DMMs,
I am surprised more people have not mentioned something like this.
My first multimeter was the infamous DT830, in yellow of course.

Got it from Maplins. Still has the original crappy probes.
Still works but the dial is a little temperamental now. Never 100% certain if the volt reading is wrong or the dial needs a wiggle.
Replaced it with the best ( most expensive dmm I could afford from Farnell - Tenma brand. Turned out to be a rebadged UT70b ) dmm I could get. Still use this one along with my favourite dmm - Fluke 187
